Meh... It heats water. It Ain't fancy!

You'd be advised to spend 50% more money and install a Tankless unit and save yourself the Rental KWs.

It was the exact size we needed. It fit where our old heater was. We had to make a little adjustments to the PVC piping. Within a few minutes we had warm water.

Works without the door.

Would Not Recommend

Have to vent the water heater by not putting the small door on the top side of the waste heater. If this isn't done the breaker inside the panel will pop.

I bought this AOSmith water heater to replace another AOSmith that was used for 10 years. I liked the fact that it lasted that long, taking into account the low quality of the drinking water in our city.
