Upgraded After Reading Reviews
I was going to buy the less expensive water heater, but after reading the reviews I upgraded to the Performance Plus with LED indicators. A friend of mine helped me install this and he had to divert the copper pipes to get it to fit as the old one was a lot narrower than these. After installing and checking for leaks, he adjusted the temp up 5 degrees then turned the power back on. This thing is very efficient and quiet! I will be saving 1000kwh a year with this water heater.

Beware of hidden gap in junction box insulation.
Beware of hidden insulation gap in junction box insulation. Water discharged through this hole and made its way down to the drain pan with the outside of the water heater completely dry. I discovered this 1"+ insulation gap, and when I called Rheem about it, I was given a hard time and accused of improper installation, even though the hidden insulation gap has nothing to do with installation the water connections. Hopefully Rheem will pick up their appliance and deliver a new appliance.

Nope
Leaks, do not buy. Had my second one installed yesterday and it had the same problem. Talked to my plumber and he said this has become a common problem with this brand.

Tank leaks at anode rod and PRV.
Bought on 2/14/2022, in 90 minutes began leaking. Customer support sent me a new anode rod. Before I could install the new rod, tank was leaking out the press relief valve. Requested another tank. Installed the next tank and it was also leaking out the PRV. I have the PRV dripping into a jug to see how much it leaks. Support at Home Depo was OK. Support at Rheem was just adequate. Should have read the reviews before making this purchase. Will not be buying any additional Rheem products ever.

Brand new, still in box - Flat/uncut Threads
A company that just ships a product, and relies on the consumer to be the quality control. This water heater sits new in box, with partially uncut/mangled-from-the-factory threads on one of the nipples. Checking reviews on here, I see it's been going on for years (search reviews for "threads"). One nipple from the tank is also not centered in the outer housing, but a bezel was slapped on - sort of.

Purchase multiple
I have purchased this water heater multiple time for multiple of my properties. 4 out of 5 times it always have issues. I would stay away from this brand.

LEAKS DO NOT BUY
Should have listen to the recent reviews. I took the heater home, brazed all joints and turned the water on. Temp was a little to low for me so I removed the covers to adjust the temp and the foam pads behind the covered were saturated in water. So I looked in the pan and sure enough water was beginning to pool up under the heater. All my connections are dry and good. DO NOT BUY. TERRIBLE QUALITY CONTROL.
