It's a good water heater

Would Recommend

I like the size of this product. It's 38 gallons so it's perfect for my family size and it fit in my crawl space under the house.

Great purchase great customer service

Would Recommend

I needed a low profile water heater for a crawl space. Lowe’s was the only big box store to carry it out of the top three contenders. Worked with customer service to get the no interest for twelve months. Work out great in an otherwise stressful situation replacing the water heater on very short notice.

Beyond Frustrated

Would Not Recommend

I bought this online and had it delivered. Lowe's purchase and delivery process was wonderful. Had a plumber install it and the water was still cold the next day. Had to pay for the plumber to come back and take another day off of work. He said the element was bad, so I had to pay for a new part from Lowes to fix it. It's absolutely ridiculous that you buy something new and it doesn't work. Not to mention having to take PTO from work and all the additional expenses to fix.
