We have an on-demand Ariston heater at home that's been working for the past 8 years and counting. Have claimed warranty once with it but after they replaced the heating element (so actually these heaters are also serviceable), no more issues.

My current Stiebel Eltron also only requires 3.5 KW and isn't a resource-hog. My monthly electric bill is just 1.2k-1.5k.

Also, for people without multi-point plumbing and electrical wiring readily available, having your typical on-demand heater is the easiest and sometimes only choice.

5 min before taking a shower is also a huge time difference especially in the morning rush hour. Will gladly pay extra to get 5 more minutes of sleep in the morning.

Lastly, jusko we're only talking about ~7k here. Over the course of 5 years that's just 4 pesos a day. No big deal really if it's disposable - that said, heaters come with warranty anyway.

Your call to take it as whatever, good sir. Just putting out there some industry feedback & experience w/ various types of heaters. Both types have pros/cons & some brands are better built than others.
The Ariston you have may not be on-demand but storage type, sir....otherwise you won't have that chance to replace the element. The on-demand ones are electronic, the storage is primitive electrical. The preparations are pretty much the same for both.
Yes, the amount isn't much but for the about same cost(which those brands mentioned are) less frequent plumber calls & inconvenience should be welcome bonuses.

Note: pic is a sample spec sheet of a Pana on demand.
