I believe the 2 extra inch diameter means it’s well made and double insulated.

Less than 5 years, Code 9 flashing
Trash product. Dead after less than 5 years and throwing a Code 9 (red blinking lights), which is a chamber sensor failure, which of course Home Depot does not sell in store, so we're without hot water now. Not once ever had this problem with Bradford White and had them over 20 years. Made a huge mistake trying to save a few bucks at Home Depot with this brand. NEVER AGAIN.

    Had the unit installed and 3 days later it leaked everywhere as the T&P valve was bad and also did not have any Teflon tape on it. Had to have that part replaced to stop the leaking. And it wasn't a small leak. It leaked all over my garage. Didn't want to wait forever for the company to send a new part so bought one myself

    Product was as promised. Home Depot cancelled my order saying it was unable to be delivered as promised. However, I went on the website and arranged for same day delivery for the exact item. Poor communication - I am still not sure what happened.
