Leaky T&P valve
The T&P valve's threads leaked on install. I removed it and sealed the threads immediately during the install. Only a little water pooled in the recessed hole where the T&P valve is installed. I thought this was a non-issue. Apparently, a tiny bit of water got in-between the foam insulation and the case. Over the last 6 months that small amount of trapped water produced moisture that was trapped in the covered electrical box. Now I'm stuck with this mess as Rheem won't cover this.

Do not buy!
I purchased this product and it was installed in 2020. We’re now in 2023 and they do not want to stand by their warranty! They just want to send me replacements for the heating elements. The tech is trying to tell me they do not see where it is leaking. Anyone can clearly see its corroded around the elements and leaking! It’s not the elements. I will be looking into a company who stands behind their warranty!

I’m done with Home Depot
I ordered a water heater from Home Depot. Called several licensed plumbers for installation and they recused to install be ause this WiFi model is reported to have too many problems. If you don’t want to be stuck with a lemon, don’t buy it. I am returning to hHome Depot. By the way, the box clearly says that it is to remain upright not laying down as delivery person left it and without knocking on door or indicating that the same was delivered.

We should have read the reviews before purchasing
Do not buy this product, for your and your family’s safety. Plagued with problems from the start with a faulty heating element that leaked to the smell of something burning, the element control caught fire. Thank Goodness we were not sleeping.

Avoid Rheem water heater
This water heater is nothing but trouble. Water heater was having trouble 3 month into the service. I had to file a warranty claim. Then I paid myself for a recommended contractor to replace all 2 heating elements. Rheem took its sweet time to send me the reimbursement. I had to make phone calls and kept reminding them. Not a good experience. Fast forward 3 years late, I found that the tank is leaking. I am thinking about just giving up on it. Rheem, get your act together.
