Manufacturer reviews · owners of this model, published on the manufacturer’s site

  • When shopping, I reviewed the specs. Decided this unit had superior heating elements. Higher wattage. Acceptable first hour rate and good recovery time. Very important is it's energy efficiency. Good choice!

  • Purchased from Costco as slightly damaged for less than half what a new in box unit would of cost. It sits in a closet. Who cares?

    hortond200008/13/2021 09:47 PM

  • The price was awesome at $150.. saved a ton of money on this heater!!

  • I had been hovering above some choices that had extra features at higher costs. I paused on the decision for a couple of days as I was not in an immediate need to replace the unit. Costco advertised the next day with this choice. It was offering just what I needed at feature and price. If the years prove the quality, I made the smart move.

  • Heats up fast. Installed at our summer house where fast start is important. Product works as described. Replaced a water heater that was installed in 1991!

  • My Hot Water Heater is smelling like rubber is burning. The wire is Hot and the Top Plate on top of Heater is also. Very disappointed.

    MsPNS12/22/2021 08:55 PM

  • bought from individual brand new with provided proof of purchase for warranty. GE refuses to fix it, as it is not heating water at all and IS BRAND NEW!!!
