Warranty isn’t as it states

This water heater has been great for us, but now it has stopped heating water before the warranty is up. I contacted customer service about the warranty and was informed that the only thing that is covered through the warranty is a part if needed and a manufacturer issue. I was told that I would have to pay for all the labor if I chose to have someone they approved come to tell me exactly what’s wrong with my water heater, but when they said local to me plumber, they chose a plumber from an hour...

Bad Thermostat

Would Not Recommend

Water was not getting hot, just warm. After trying to diagnose the problem, I called a plumber who found that the lower thermostat was bad.

Why buy 40 gallon when you can install a 50?

Would Recommend

Ease of install, clean look and held 10 gallons more water than my 40 gallon with about the same size space.

Water Heater dented inside undamaged box

Would Not Recommend

The water heater was dented inside the box, it was dropped on its side. Manufacturer instructions are Do Not Return to store. I waited 3-4 days for AO Smith to contact me to call an 800 number. They will not issue RA#, they blame Lowe's. Lowe's says I'm passed the 48 hour return deadline even though they have a 30 day return policy on water heaters. I installed the damaged water heater, wish me luck.
