Would Not RecommendFrom beginning water was scalding hot even on factory setting. After a week it caught fire doing minor damage since my Mom acted very quickly.

IT FITS!!!
Would RecommendJust got this installed 24 hrs ago to replace a 40 gallon model. Even though it holds 26% more hot water, is fits into the same tiny location as the old one. A few inches taller but nothing the plumber couldn’t handle!

Proven quality
Would RecommendI just replaced my A O Smith lowboy 40-gallon water heater that was "40" years old with this A O Smith lowboy 48-gallon water heater. I would be tickled to death if I get half that life out of this one.
