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.

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".

Great features.
Our installer, Jacob did a terrific job. He was very courteous and professional explaining features of the water tank. The GE water tank looks good.

Easy Install, quick recovery, well built, more than enough hot water. For the price, it definitely beats other options.

Easy install, worked immediately
This replaced a 20-year-old GE tall model that was still OK, but probably too old to be trustworthy. The new one installed easily and worked right away when I fired it up. Has been operating now for a few weeks. What else can I say?

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.
