I bought a Joven instant water heater. Supposed to be mid-range, not that cheap kind. But after using, realised that when I first switch on it will be very hot such that i have to move away. then after that the temperature will drop a bit before stablising.

Do you guys experience this kind of sudden heat increase with your instant water heaters too?

My previous home had the tank heating storage heater type, so didn't experience this before.

Mine also Joven and I experience it...and my previous 707 also like tat...tink it is normal..

Sound Normal to me..

It's normal. I experience the same for my previous 2 instant heaters.

You do not get this with the storage tank heaters.

thanks guys for all the replies! thot it was only me...

Ard how much does 707 instant heater cost?? Thanks

$170-$180 from poh joo

this is wat i gather for sourcing for instant heater.

from what i have asked around, instant heater prices ranges from S$180 to S$280 per set, the price difference for same brand and model from different retailers ranges from S$20 to S$40. they are earning by the margin so they can't be having a S$100 difference.

you can try the following places which i have gather from forumers' recommendations and do remember to call them to ask if they have want you want before going to their shops (as some of these shops only carry electrical and electronic goods only):
