an 1800W tankless water heater (the biggest you can plug into 120V
outlet) will have a temperature rise of 25 degrees at 0.5 gpm.
(that's the physics of water.  they're all going to have similar
performance.  Anything that claims better is lying or has a tank)
That will turn cold water into less cold water, or warm water into hot
water.  you probably want something with a tank.
