Long-Lived Tankless electric? - for 2br Condo

I'm getting an all-electric condo unit ready for rental.

2br 1 bath of about 950 sq.ft.

Currently, it has a 30gal low-boy H/W tank (30" high - sits in kitchen cabinet).

The H/W unit is some 9 years old, I think I want to replace it before it springs a leak and floods people below.

I'm considering putting in a tankless unit from ????

...and that's the question, which units are reliable & long-lived.

The Rheem 13kw unit, should do the job, and electric wiring to current tank should be sufficient

(will have to check breaker/wire size) but should I go with Rheem, or Bosch, or......????

I keep reading reviews where someone has had 2 & 3 units replaced in the space of 1-2 years.

Mostly seems heating elements burn out.

I really do not want to deal with tenant complaints about "no hot water".

Experiences - Positive or Negative - anyone?
