How hot can a 9.5Kw instant water heater get and will it be hot enough for general domestic use?
Thanks

As hot as you set it and depends on water capacity.
Assuming 90 degree F temperature rise, it could deliver 3/4 of a gallon per minute. Mix this water with enough cold water so that the effective temperature is raised 40 degrees, and you'll get a little over one and a half gallons per minute. It's enough for one trickle of a shower but not much more.
Even though the gas models work pretty well, I have my doubts about the electric versions of instant water heaters. If electric is your only option, buy a tank type water heater.
