Hybrid water heaters are the best of 2 worlds, tank and tankless water heaters.

The benefit of a tank water heater is that you get hot water right away to the faucet you’re using, and there is  constant water pressure for all the fixtures using the hot water simultaneously. Once the tank storage is emptied it takes time for the water to refill and heat. With a tankless water heater there maybe a lag time for  hot water to heat as it’s traveling through the heating coils, (so you may waste water waiting for the shower to come up to  temperature). Once  hot water has reached the fixture, you’ll have hot water constantly and instantly while water is  flowing through the unit. The water  can only flow at a certain rate through the heating coils to heat the water. If you try to use several different fixtures at the same time, the amount of water that flows to the fixtures may be restricted.

A Hybrid Water Heater  combines the best of both types of water heaters. It holds hot water in a small tank to feed the fixture immediately, and it heats the water instantaneously through the heater coils. You receive the benefits of not  wasting water while your waiting for it to heat and more gas/electricity efficiency when only the water  you’re using is heated.
