To soon to tell we replaced an electric water heater that was a 1987 model. Hopefully we will see a difference in our electric bill with this being more efficient

Just installed it. After this I'll take my first shower - just about heated up. I'm sure everything will be fine. I've owned many GE appliances over the years, always worked great, no problems.

We got this water heater installed a few days ago. We replaced a 15+ year old water heater. I am super disappointed. The water will not get very hot even with the thermostat set to 140 degrees. Our old water heater got hotter set at 130. I also noticed the energy star guide on this is HORRIBLE. I wasn™™t given a choice from our master plumber or I would not have chosen this water heater. It™™s over $700 per year to run it. I would not recommend this. It™™s been a disappointment

I got a great price on this water heater. Love the 5500w elements because the "big box stores" go with 4000w elements at this price point. Also, this water heater has a brass drain valve instead of cheaper plastic. It is RAISED higher than my previous Bradford White, which made it IMPOSSIBLE to drain regularly with the drip pan (great design feature). My plumber had to CUT the drip pan to drain the BW prior to replacement. Time will tell but for the SAME price as HD/Lowes I got this one with better elements better tank warranty for the same price! Time will tell how long this lasts but 12 year tank warranty is EXCELLENT.

So far I'm pleased with the product, however it replaced an 80 gallon water heater. But with 2 people using this product is should be sufficient.

This tank replaced a 23yo GE predecessor of roughly the same size and model. It's been installed now for about 2 weeks and everything is fantastic! If I remember, I'll come back to edit this review in 5 years with how efficiently it's working.

I can't comment on longevity of this water heater because we purchased it only about a month ago, but so far so good! Great price, love the size of the short profile.. it allowed us to upgrade from a 40 gallon to a 50 gallon without any changes to the location of the connections. Easy to install -- took less than 2 hours. A little disappointed we couldn't find a drain pan large enough to put under it at our local homestore but it's located in the garage so it's ok. Just wish it was a little more energy efficient, but figure that's part of why the price is so low. Overall a great value! 4-stars!

Seems to be made very well. Had a fairly straight forward install. Also needed to raise temperature up from factory setting and now it's just like what we are used to.

On-line you don't see the yellow "Energy Star" sticker. For this water heater it's at the max. I would never have bought it if I'd known this. I bought it from Costco's website. I am disappointed that Costco would carry this product.

My last GE water heater lasted almost 20 years and i only had to replace the elements a couple of times. This type of quality is hard to find anymore these days. I hope the new one will work just as fine.

Water heater water temp is erratic. This "new" water heater performs more poorly than the almost 49 year old unit it replaced. I would request a return, but I cannot afford another $400 installation charge! I would not recommend this product.
