Great water heater
I just bought the Sure comfort built by Rheem which has the identical tank as the 6 year with a shorter warranty and different gas valve.The sure comfort now comes with the old school reliable White Rogers valve. Thank you Rheem.

Pay a little more and get better
Like someone else said, the pilot won’t stay lit after one year. Replaced thermocouple 3x and the pros are saying it’s a faulty gas valve which is over $100. Works good when it works.

This is a great product! I ordered it online at homedepot.com. It was delivered right at my front door with free shipping. My old one it was replaced was also by the same manufacture. You won't believe it, that one was installed in 1989 and lasted for 28 years! This new one works even better. I'm very happy with it. I just trust the brand!
