My new favorite

Would Recommend

After having used up two water heaters in nine years from another large company, I looked into changing to A.O. Smith as a good alternative. I am so glad I did. the price was right, the unit was easy to install, and I had nice hot water within minutes of flipping the breaker on. This is my new favorite water heater, much better than the rest.

Do not turn breaker on until filled

Would Recommend

It should be marked with a warning in another color and bold letters not to turn the electric switch on before it fills with water. Other than that the installation was fairly easy.

Hot water heater AO Smith

Would Recommend

My previous model lasted only 3.5 years due to a leak at the cold water inlet nipple piping. Worked great until that point. The new unit (same model #), only required re-plumbing of the pressure relief valve PVC piping. Been installed for a week. Works excellent so far.

Remove the packing and take pictures

After I got the water heater home and unboxed, we noticed a big dent in the metal on the corner . We needed to install the heater right away and did so in spite of the large dent, which was not visible prior to removing the shipping cardboard. There was absolutely to damage to the cardboard, so it appears it was damaged prior to packing and shipment. The item has now been in service for about 10 days, it appears to be working without any issues.
