Great water heater
Great water heater. It is much quieter than the one it replaced and seems to be more efficient. Had it month and I am pleased.

So far so good, but only 1/2 day of use of this product so too early to give a full assessment.

Love it for reliable, quality, and "made in USA"
My previous gas water heater was GE one. It had warranty of 9 years but it's been working for 14 years, and still working, no trouble at all. The reason that I have to replace it because my home insurance company gives me a hard time if I want to continue my home coverage. New water heater is still GE. Love it for reliable, quality and "made in USA".

GE 50gal Gas Quality Made Hot Water Tank
I replaced an 20 yr old GE 40gal hot water heater it was still working but I decided to replace it before it went with a 50gal GE. I'm a handy man with skills and replaced it. Simple installation. I went with GE for the quality and that my first one lasted for over 20years. That tells me something about the quality. Hoping my new one will last the same.

Replaced the same model that was 14 years old and still working fine, but didn't want to press my luck. My plumber had it installed, up and running in less than 2 hours.

Awesome Hot Water Heater
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GE - GG50T12BRX Hot Water Heater is nothing short of amazing. I have two twenty-something daughters that enjoy looong hot showers and they have yet to run this hot water tank out of hot water. The hot water regenerates quickly. It was installed easily by a professional. The controls are conveniently and easy to reach and turning on the pilot light was simple. I highly recommend this hot water heater.

Great Features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the water heater. It is a great size and works well. The water heater we had was getting old and we needed to get a replacement. So happy to get natural gas as we had electric. It is so much more efficient.

Works Great!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the GE Gas Residential Hot Water Heater a few weeks ago, and It works great!! It was fairly easy to install, had a little help from a friend who was knowledgeable about installation. It is the perfect size for my household, and has the precise temperature for hot water delivery. There is a built in safety system, which is great to have. It is recommended to drain once a year to clean out any mineral deposits, to assure it runs properly. This is all outlined in the easy to read instruction manual. It is also recommended to shutdown when not in use for extended periods of time, like for a vacation or such to conserve energy. I love this awesome hot water tank, and I am sure you will too. It is made by GE, a trusted name in appliances! I highly recommend this hot water tank to everyone!!

Very nice hot water heater!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We switched to this gas water heater from an electric one after debating it for a few years. I'm really happy we made the switch and bought this one. We will save money in the long run and we never run out of hot water anymore and that's same something in my house with 3 daughters! The install was easy and only took about an hour and half to get it all switched out.

Hot Water capacity
Although we have had our new GE water heater only a week, we couldn’t be happier with it. We have a large walk- in tub which before would not get filled with enough hot water. Now we can fill it with hot water to spare. The interesting thing is that both heater were labeled “50 gallons”. The GE heater was far superior!

Well Built Water Heater with Great Warranty!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded my 40 gallon water heater to the GE RealMAX® Platinum 50-Gallon Tall Natural Gas Atmospheric Water Heater and could not be happier. The construction of this tank is solid and is backed with a 12 Year warranty. My family of 5 can now take back to back showers and everyone has hot water. I had a licensed plumber install the unit and he was genuinely impressed with the quality of the water heater. I would highly recommend this upgrade to anyone that has a growing family and enjoys a piece of mind knowing that the product is covered for a long time!

Works awesome!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd like to first say that I was very impressed with how easy and smooth the installation went. Normally something always goes wrong - but it didn't. The water heater is well built, very durable, looks good and has many great features. Features include a safety system that shuts off the unit if abnormal temperatures are detected, quick recovery, self-diagnostic with LED status indicator. I was impressed with how much hot water it provides. With kids and a wife - many showers every night and lots of laundry and dishes - we never ran out of hot water. A 50 gallon GE water heater is the way to go, I highly recommend.

easy install
[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.
