Rated 5 out of 5 by from Improvements make a great water heater better We are anxious to place this water heater in service as it replaces the same model that had a non repairable leaking drain valve . We invested a lot of effort choosing this model. While having to get a replacement was unsettling, GE’s quick response to detail information we provided restored our confidence in our choice of brand and model we chose. Our contractor made the change out as near seamless as possible.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Slightly lower than RHEEM I bought one GE 50 gallon hot water tank 12 year warranty and 50 gallon tank 6 year warranty in 2013. Both are still working well. The reason I bought this one, because GE hot water tanks are the best. and also, I want to have one ready for replacement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An upgrade? I chose to upgrade(?) to a GE water heater with eight year warranty instead of replacing the (different brand) with three year and recurrent issues. We’ll see how the investment fares in five years? So far, we’re very happy with this water heater.
