Heat Pump Hot Water Heater

Interested in anyone's experience with Heat Pump Hot Water Heaters. I currently have hot water heated by oil boiler with a separate storage tank. The tank is nearing the end of its useful life. Considering a move to Heat Pump technology, and I would place it in a utility room much closer to kitchen/laundry (for faster hot water). The utility room gets chilly in the winter (40-45F) and wondering about efficiency drops at that temp. Also wondering if it provides sufficient hot water.

We have two Mini-splits heating/cooling different areas of the house and have great experience with those.

Appreciate any insights.
thanks.
