        A HISTORY OF RELIABILITY AND EASE OF MAINTANANCE
        The last Rheem water heater I had was over 12 years old before it started leaking because of something I did. So now it was time to replace it and I went out and bought another Rheem water heater. What I liked about this one was how easy it was to install, and hook up, and I am 76 years old. But what I really liked about this model was the ease of firing up the pilot light by simply keeping the pilot light button depressed while pushing the button below it several times until the blue light starts blinking. Once the blue light is blinking it signifies the pilot light is lit and you just turn the knob to where it says Hot, and you're done. No more lighting the pilot light with a match, just push the buttons and wait for the blue light to start blinking, got to love it. Once it was installed and fired up it only took about 30 minutes for the water to be warm enough to go take a shower.

          It leaks
          I install water heaters for a living. I installed a rheem gas water heater from home depot in my home in 2017 and it's leaking all over the basement now. A water heater should last longer than 6 years. Very unhappy.

            A total piece of garbage
            I bought a 40 gallon 38000 BTU hot water heater by Rheem from Home Depot less then five years ago. It is already leaking from the base. The warranty is crap as is the Rheem hot water heater! Do not buy Rheem. I made a mistake that you can avoid. A piece of garbage in a box. Zero stars should be the rating.

              Amazing Hot Water Tank!
              I purchased this water tank to replace my 25 year old GWS! I hope I have the same luck! Easy to install, quite, great value, fast heating and tons of hot water! I would highly recommend this unit for purchase! The Home Depot was the best to deal with! Great job!

                Not recommended
                After having our other water heater for 19 years, we finally had to replace it. Purchased this supposedly “professional” Rheem water heater and now 2 years later pilot keeps turning off. Called a plumber for an estimate and it was more than the heater, $1,100. Never buying this brand again. Cheap appliances now a days.

                  No hot water
                  Our old water heater started leaking so we needed a new hot water heater fast and luckily Home Depot was able to get out the next day. The installer sent by Home Depot was great and did a great job. Unfortunately, the unit is not even a week old and the water heater stopped working. The pilot is on then turns off. We turn it on then it shuts off again. Of course my husband comes home dirty from work and now has no hot water for a shower. This is the second defective major home appliance we have purchased that is defective. We are NEVER using home depot again.

                    just installed a couple of weeks ago, everything seems to be working great. I started on the high setting but it was to hot so now it's set on low which it great, way more efficient that my 20 yr old one. When you light the pilot the first time you need to look upwards through the glass window to see that it's lit.

                    Delivered, installed, $1500 later and not a drop of hot water
                    Delivered and professionally installed. Sensor didnt work not once giving an error 9 code. Called rheem customer support sucked but luckily my professional installer told them send the sensor or he takes back the water heater to get another. Rheems home troubleshooting of a subpar product stopped right away and they will be sending a new sensor. Not suprised rheems customer support hardly knew english or anything about water heaters.... Im sure it will all work fine in the near future but if i would have known a new unit for 1500.00 i would still have to wait 4 days for hot water i would have bought a different brand somewhere else so my wife and newborn have warm water. As for the installer id give him 5 stars as he knew what he was doing and couldnt have changed the outcome.
