What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the water heater for straightforward installation, reliable performance, and strong value. Most report completing setup themselves in under an hour with clear instructions, while many highlight consistent hot water delivery within 30 minutes to an hour, supporting multiple household showers. Reviewers frequently commend the unit's quality and cost-effectiveness. However, a small group encountered defective units with burnt-out elements or leaking tanks, and some experienced frustration with warranty processes. Despite these isolated issues, most customers consider it a dependable, worthwhile purchase.

Good heater

Had to replace old water heater. Bought this at Lowes and installed about 3 weeks ago. No issues with install and heater is working great with no issues. Sharkbite hookup kit improved install timing and ease of install. Highly recommend.

Heats Water!

It does its job just fine. Cold water goes in and hot water comes out. It does not leak water on the floor which is good because it is in my house. What more can one say other than it works fine.

Fraudulent

Would Not Recommend

Do not shop Lowe’s. They make false promises to lock you in then when you ask for what they offered you they make you out to be a liar. I strongly urge you to consider anyone else.

Worked like a top so far. Make sure you use the yellow number 5 pipe dope and the pfte thread tape and should be no problem.

Brand new and elements are not working

Would Not Recommend

I purchased The water heater on 8.29.26 and had it installed on 8.30.26. The hot water was insufficient and quickly ran out. It took a day to recover to Luke warm water. It’s Day 3 today and the water is cold. It seems the elements are not working. Unbelievable, I bought it brand new and it doesn’t work. Why is Lowe’s selling junk! I should have bought a higher priced product from a different store. Saving a few bucks is not worth the stress.

I got this installed recently and it has been amazing! My old heater was only 3 years old but even when new, it did not work as well as this one.

I bought this for my nephew in an emergency situation, our local Lowe's had it in stock. He was able to install it that day, runs great!

Great company

Would Recommend

No issues, although if there is, you will go through something in order to get it exchanged. Lowe's does not carry that responsibility, it gets passed on to the customer and customer is required to call company to get a return authorization. That is a nightmare!!!
