If you really just want it for washing your hands, something like this =
should be more than enough.  =

%2Belectric%2Caps%2C100&sr=3D8-5&th=3D1. I got tired of waiting for hot =
water to reach my kitchen sink for quick hand washing, etc and installed =
the 7 gallon version and it has been perfect.  I put it in the hot water =
line about 5 feet from the sink (the closest place it could be easily =
installed) and we get quick hot water when we need it.  Unless they have =
made changes from when I did this about 3 years ago, the 7 gallon =
version needs to be hard-wired to a dedicated line, while the 2.5 and 4 =
gallon ones can just be plugged in, which makes them a lot easier to =
install.
