What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this water heater for reliable performance, effortless installation, and strong value. Most highlight how simple the setup was, with connections matching perfectly and minimal adjustments needed. Reviewers consistently report ample, consistent hot water output, with the 40-gallon capacity and 3800-watt element heating rapidly even in smaller homes. Many replaced units that served over two decades, noting improved performance. Several chose based on brand reputation for durability and longevity. A few mention concerns about the plastic drain valve durability or isolated noise issues, but these are rare exceptions to overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Would RecommendWater heater comes with top mounted T/P valve. I needed to use 0ptional side mount and was told that I must use valve provided in side position to keep warranty. Valve extends very far out of the side of the unit. Not a good look. Could not provide a shorter valve or recommend an alternate.

good features
Would RecommendThe only thing I don't like about this water heater is that the water spigot on the bottom is made of plastic and I'm afraid that it will easily break if something bumps into it.

Works for Me!
Would RecommendThis water heater has less wattage than the more expensive one but if you don't have alot of people in your home, it really doesn't matter. It's taller than my old AO Smith one but fit in OK.
