In HOT WATER again! That is in the shower, not with my better half.
Old water heater had internal leak not noticed until it was leaking all over. New heater will shutdown the water and electric until service is done! Also has WiFi that will notify me of any problems or need of service. I never want to be without hot water again.

I like this water heater.
I think I can use this water heater for more than 10 years. It is a good value. Except for one thing I found. The water leak from the top heating element wasn't tightened enough. Opened the top cover because the felt water was too hot and tried to reduce the temperature. After the top cover removes, the sponge was wet. It is leaked. Price and it working good. Must check every element which are parts of main after installed. Problems are growing in hidden areas...

21 yrs on old water heater not too bad. This one was very straight forward to install. It was a bit taller than the old one but only by about 2” so no problem. Heats water quick and with luck it will last half as long as older one.
Easy straight forward stall

Spend the extra $ on something better
Replaced a less than three year old water heater of the exact same model due to the bottom rusting out.
The first one was leaking terribly through the seams at the top of the water heater. The second one has incomplete threads on the cold side and needed to be returned. Now on the third one, the relief valve is allowing water to accumulate at the top and where the electrical connections are located.
These water heater are either complete junk or HomeDepot received a batch of crap.

So far so good.
Just installed it about 3 weeks ago, so far so good! I hope it will last as long as my previous water heater. We had 9 people at our home over Christmas and never had a hot water issue.

Within 1 Yr: Replace the Upper Heating Element
Easy to set up with instructions. The unit worked great for 8 months. The upper heating element was completely corroded & had broken at the bend. Further, the unit leaked from the upper element. Easy replacement, yet why was this unit so poorly made??
