When visiting out in Victoria BC, the house we rented had an in-singerater, both my husban and I loved the ease with which we could make our hot drinks first thing in the morning. On returning home we investigate an purchased one, my husband installed it himself. Hardest part was putting a hole in the stainless steel sink. Purchased a carbide step down drill-bit which did the trick. I use the erator for anything that requires the use of hot water, Have now relegated the coffee maker and tea kettle to under the counter storage. The only thing I don't like is the fact that it is a little noisy when heating the water.
