The product is the second generation for my sink. It functions very well. Two considerations: i. If you have trouble gripping with your hands then consider a model with a lever type handle, ii.. If you plug the power into a timer the life of the unit will be extended. Over years use minerals in the water condense on the heating element causing it to overheat. A timer set to turn power to the heater off when not in use (e.g. overnight, and while at work) will slow the process resuting in a longer life. Be sure the timer is rated for the amperage of the heater. A good product.
