Great to have hot water again!
Great product, sufficient hot water for 3 showers. Measure carefully, our installation required expanding the access door to the attic.

GE realMAX 50 gallon 8 year
Just bought a NEW 2022 "dent/scratch" on the backside GE realMAX 50 gallon 8 year for $350! Replacing my old GE-- GG50T06AVH00 installed 2006 is still running. I will see if I can get a couple more years before installing the new one, but couldn't pass up a new GE for the price. Go GE!! They make a great water tank and I'm the proof with 17 years and counting and zero maintenance on the old one .

Recently had installed the 50-gallon water heater, and it functions as it should. I now have plenty of hot water for those long shower days.

Great Water Heater!!
We replaced our old electric water heater with the GE Natural Gas Water Heater. The hot water is so much better and much more efficient! Also, you can't go wrong with the 8 year warranty!

Very Efficient HWT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are a family of 4 and our gas bill has remained fairly constant, After installing this GE unit we suddenly saw a bill go down by 30%. This decrease has happened over the past 3 months. Our hot waters usage has not changed so we must credit it to efficiency. 30% may not seem like much, but over the life of the tank it will have paid for itself

Save money and heat water faster
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to replace our water heater and got this one and I'm here to say I am very happy and pleased with the gas heater I got made by GE. This has provided sufficient hot water for my entire family and household! Installing it was easy even for a woman! It came packaged well too. It is a tall tank. It went perfectly well in our closet. And one thing I like about this one is it automatically shuts off if any abnormal temperatures are detected. It does what it says it does! Thank you for helping keep my family safe GE.

Excellent Brand!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hot water tank from GE is the absolute best..easy to operate & not at all hard to to install! We installed it in less than an hour. To be a 50 gallon it sure does hold a lot & the best part is we never run out of hot water with this tank. I’ve never been disappointed from a GE appliance before and I believe I made the right decision when I got this product.

Great quality & Easy install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised and very pleased to find this water heater an easy installation. I replaced my Bradford White Defender 40 gallon with this GE 50 gallon model. I did not not need to make any adjustments to pipes or fittings, even though this GE has the capacity to hold 10 more gallons. As far as, overall dimensions, these tanks are the same height, with the 50 gallon being approximately 2" diameter larger. (It takes up ~1" more space on each side of closet)

Really nice!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really enjoying this new hot water heater. It has so many features. It monitors the air temperatures and if the temps are not normal it will shut off. I really like that feature. Heats water really quick. Its great for a family of 5. We never run out of hot water anymore. Has LED gas monitor. It was really easy to install. I think the price and value of this hot water heater is excellent. I highly recommend.

Hot hot hot all the time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very satisfied with our GE water heater. It our first GE water heater. It is quiet and effective. I honestly don’t know the difference between in heater and the next, but this GE model seems to keep water hotter, longer.

So far, so good - Hot Water for Everyone!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just installed this this past weekend. It was easy enough to do with help from a friend. I think we were done in less than 2 hours. Throughout the week everyone said that they had a nice hot shower, regardless of the time spent. I am hoping that this continues, as the water heated quickly and lasted longer than our old water heater. I am very happy with this product, and like the durability and quality of GE.

New Gas Hot Water Heater
Seems to be working fine. I have not yet mastered the art of fine setting 'heat level". Also, I have not seen a gas bill since it was installed-will be interesting to see how we fare.
