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

  • It is very efficient and has a nice capacity for our home. I love being able to adjust the temperature with the keypad or the app on my phone. Unlike the obscure tiny screws behind plates on our old one. It looks to be durable and warranty makes me believe if they warranty it that long they intend on it lasting. It is right up there with my GE washer dryer combo unit in “out of the box” satisfied. The young man who installed it didn’t take very long to do it and no “curse words” were heard so I believe it went in smoothly. We are happy.

  • First day with the new water heater. Appears well built with new technology

    Ollias heater07/21/2025 08:53 PM

  • So far, so good/so great! Almost one year and a half in use, this 12-year GE electric water heater is quiet, efficient, and reliable. It has run proficiently without incident, and I have not once run out of hot water or had the experience of having the water temperature fluctuate from hot to warm or cold. No leaks, no drips...just does its job as advertised!

    MDGinSWFL06/01/2025 08:48 PM

  • We never run out of hot water, & it's efficient also!

    dlutrell03/10/2025 08:25 PM

  • Works well and is very energy efficient. I particularly like the ability to monitor my energy use and to set automatic temperature increases and decreases based on the time of day. We all tend to take our showers in the AM so I have the unit go up 10 degrees until 10:30 AM. Then back to a lower temperature.

    Gamblemad11/17/2024 10:41 PM

  • Replaced a 30 year old water heater. Water heater was easy to install, is well made and was up and running in no time. I liked that it had a longer warranty than most of its competitors.

    CatSttl08/25/2024 11:24 PM

  • Great product. Excellent customer service. Replaced our existing water heater.

    Cjmaru07/20/2024 01:29 PM

    Moalazawi03/09/2024 10:47 PM

  • Very nice water heater. Installed easily. Set up easier. App works well. Would recommend to others.

    Mattd800a10/31/2023 08:40 PM

  • We love the quietness and the easy access to adjusting the temperature and the feature of control of Wi-Fi to the unit.

    Bakingmeemaw7208/03/2023 09:12 PM

  • We bought this to replace an existing GE smarthome water heater that was a 2006 model. It still worked. We were just adding a new water softener system & filtration system.

    Anonymous04/18/2022 03:24 PM

  • Great unit - love the technology - water is super hot

    Raymond4235503/23/2022 06:24 PM

  • Good product. App is easy to set up and nice to be able to set the temp on your phone

    Celly1301/07/2022 01:41 AM

  • I don't need to have all of the wifi connectivity. I tried it, but there really aren't that many options to mess with to justify having another app on my phone. However, app works, also pushing the actual buttons on the water heater works too. Water is consistent and there are no problems, just what I like.

    Umamimami12/29/2021 10:48 PM

  • Great product, space saver and excellent service. Great value

    Jren09/11/2021 06:07 PM

  • Easy installation and this being a smart device is what caused me to buy this water heater.

    Tony196508/04/2021 06:53 PM

  • So far so good. Replaced a GE water that was 16 years old. Nothing wrong with it, except age. It looked and worked like a brand new one. Did nothing to it in 16 years! Always replace things before they go bad.

    Santa Clause07/21/2021 01:21 PM

  • I travel for work and I've always wanted a WiFi connectable water heater. The controls are very easy to use and simple to turn on vacation mode for a specific number of days when I'm traveling for work. Then it returns to normal mode before I'm home. I love this!

    Traveling service tech03/07/2021 02:29 PM

  • I am happy with this water heater, the price point was a little high compared to similar water heaters, but hoping I get what I paid for.

    Jarch302/28/2021 09:03 PM

  • WiFi is nice ........................:............

    Fyrckrnate02/28/2021 02:38 PM

  • Replaced with this GE 50 gallon and great looking compared to old one and more importantly, easy features and energy efficent!

    Bud201412/01/2020 08:37 PM

  • Installation instructions were complete and easy to understand. materials seem to be well made. once the water tank was full and powered up we had hot water within an hour. I like the web interface on the unit also.
