Rick,

We are glad to hear that your new Performance 30 Gal Compact 2000W Single Element Point-Of-Use Electric Water Heater is working well. It’s good that you were able to make the necessary adjustments for the slightly taller unit.

It’s unfortunate about the dent, but it’s good that you checked for any internal damage. As long as the heater is functioning as expected, the dent should not affect its performance.

Remember to keep an eye on it, especially during the first few months, to ensure everything continues to work smoothly. If you notice any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to the store or the manufacturer’s customer service.

Enjoy your hot water! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to call 888-279-4566 between the hours of 7 A.M. and 7 P.M. CST.

Size is perfect for my spot under sink, however the hot water lasts maybe 30-45 seconds. Was hoping to be able to wash a dish or two while waiting for my main hot water to kick in, but falls short of serving the purpose it was bought for. For a quick rinse of hands or one dish it works, but not much hot water for anything else. Will try adjusting heat to higher temp to see if that helps. At this point I’m disappointed in performance.

Hello,

We are sorry to hear that your water heater isn’t meeting your expectations. This unit is designed to provide hot water for a single application and is ideal for point-of-use installations. However, it seems like it’s not providing enough hot water for your needs.

Adjusting the temperature to a higher setting might help, but please be cautious as it can increase the risk of scalding. If the issue persists, it could be due to the heater’s capacity. This model has a 2-gallon tank, which might not be sufficient for washing multiple dishes.

Point-of-use water heaters are generally designed to provide hot water quickly and efficiently for a single application2. If you frequently need to wash multiple dishes while waiting for your main hot water to kick in, you might want to consider a unit with a larger capacity.

We hope this information helps. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to call 888-279-4566 between the hours of 7 A.M. and 7 P.M. CST.

Perfect replacement hot water heater. We decided to replace our 20+-year-old hot water heater before it was necessary. This one is a perfect replacement. Our only issue was that the first one was damaged, but Home Depot promptly delivered another one and offered a discount for our inconvenience. ++Customer service.

I have purchased several Rheem water heaters & have found them to be exactly what was needed for each job that required a replacement water heaters. I haven't had one problem with the installation or the performance. I would recommend this product above any others mainly because of its design, easy installation & the price. Other products seem to charge more just because it is a brand name. Thank you Rheem & Home Depot for this product. Especially when I am able to be given a military discount on this product.

This Rheem 2 gallon point of use water heater is a replacement for the same water heater that was installed in late 2006. The design is the same and it fit in the same place as the original. When fully loaded with water it's rather heavy for some unreinforced under sink cabinetry so we have a cutout down to the slab where there is a drip pan and 9V battery water alarm. The previous one of this water heater gave no problems for 17 years and this one installed, filled, and powered up with no problems. Factory temp setting is marked and set at 120F and recommend turning it down about one third the way to min for normal kitchen use. Do this before installation if possible as the screw holding the thermostat cover plate is difficult to remove and install under cabinet. This was an online order that was delivered undamaged on the date promised.

This is our second identical water heater. The small size, plug-in electric cord, and easy bottom drain make this perfect for use in a rustic cabin. We drain the water tank after each visit to prevent freezing.

Not Heating From Day One
Didn't heat from the start. Tech support had me test the resistance on the heating element and it was clearly defective. Also leaks at the element They are sending a new element, Removing the element will be interesting as it has a very large nut , barely exposed enough to get a wrench on it. I'll have to buy the right open end wrench for a one time use. Definitely install a drain in line with the cold inlet as it doesn't have a drain like bigger heaters. Last Rheem!!

Kevin,

We are sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with the water heater you have reviewed. It’s unfortunate that the heating element was defective from the start and that it also had a leak. Your feedback about the large nut on the element and the need for a specific open-end wrench is valuable.

It’s good to know that a new element has been sent out, and we hope that resolves the issue. Your suggestion about installing a drain in line with the cold inlet is also very helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights.
