I had a friend in Michigan who bought something similar. His electric bill went up so much that he hardly used it after a few months. I haven't kept in touch with him, so I don't know what he ended up doing, but I think he was trying to sell it. This was several years ago.

You might want to estimate operating costs before you spend a lot of money on that.

You don't have to use it, just the bragging rights to the picture in your wallet are worth a few grand.

Can't you just install that in the truck and heat it with diesel? That would be ideal.

Brian--I know you know what certain naughty girls do with flexible shower heads, right?

Two shower heads are the best. I have them. One is the flexible, the other just standard. The flexible is an amazing turn on when used properly.

you are both correct...she works at home and watches the boys while I'm on the road working long and hard.

The specs say it pulls up to 42 amps!

I'd have to run heavier-gauge wire to even RUN the thing.

But the coolness factor must be factored in. As God is my witness, I don't know what to do.

I'll report later.

If it increased your electric bill by $100/month, would that break your budget?
