Best Water Heaters With Reviews

nicely designed, has all the features that i am looking for, including a basic simple to understand thermostat, and no complicated features. Heater supplies supplies plenty of hot water, its just there with nothing to maintain or monitor. This is the only brand that i have seen that makes exactly what i was looking for in a hot water heater,and GE makes reliable appliances

It was a direct replacement, size wise, for the earlier model we had. Did not heat water as hot as the older model. That may be due to factory setting being set lower than they did 10 years ago. Otherwise everything was fine.

50 gal heater just installed 4/24/25. So far so good. Heavy duty for sure. Once finally installed (by one service tech mind you) it was easy to complete installation. He had to switch out the two elements & install 4500 watt because the original elements had too much power & would blow circuits. This is the way the 50 gallon are manufactured. Didn't add but maybe 10 minutes more for the install but seemed like extra work. Time will tell on operation so for now all is good

It’s very good and clean, I don’t know about electrical usage because there was not enough time since the review request email was sent to me. So far I have indeed benefit of that extra water volume heat, it did improved my life as I have a large bathtub that the previous 50 gallons unit would not be enough, now it can get enough for a comfortable use of that bathtub. The painel is super easy to use. Hopefully it won’t get bad overtime. The app is… bad. Has a lot of bad practices in that app. It requires login to the app, what means that in the future GE might shutdown their servers and the app won’t work further. It’s very slow to open and will stay locked (you can’t do anything with any appliance in the app) until it finishes loading all the appliance list. The app crash in the iOS often or not update the latest state of the appliance. It doesn’t work with Google Home or Apple HomeKit. The app is a gimmick, GE doesn’t take it seriously, but the physical painel for the smart version is helpful.

The Hot Water Heater is really nice works very well. It replaced a 38 year old hot water heater. Make sure you measure the high and the width of the one you are removing. This one is over 5 feet tall and about 24 inches bottom at the widest point. Make sure you measure twice or you may be making a few trips back to the store to get hoses.

I recently installed the GE® 40 Gallon Tall Electric Water Heater (Model #: GE40T08BAM), and I'm extremely impressed! It consistently delivers a reliable supply of hot water even during peak hours, and its energy efficiency has noticeably lowered my utility bills. The compact, tall design made installation a breeze, fitting perfectly into my limited space. This water heater is a true game-changer for home comfort—highly recommended!

I'm very happy with my new GE water heater. Works great. Hot water and an especially nice feature that I can easily change the temperature. This feature is great because I can do it without asking someone in my family to help me.

I had a 20+-year-old GE SmartWater heater that was getting a little rusty so I proactively replaced it before it could leak. I had such good luck with the last one that I wanted another GE. It installed quickly and easily. Not a single leak anywhere. I love the brass drain and overflow. I love that this one is better insulated than my last GE. I won't use the WiFi features since they are not useful enough. If I could setup schedules or track the kWh usage it would be interesting but just setting vacation mode on/off and changing the temp setpoint is not useful enough to bother with it.

This GE Smart 50 gal water heater is a very install for a do it yourself. I still need to connect to wifi though and will do it this week. It's suppose to give you a warning/notice if the anode needs to be replaced. It's able to heat up our water within an hour and seems to be running well so far. The water heater itself is a quality made product. It's solid, heavy and doesn't look cheap at all.

I can't comment on longevity of this water heater because we purchased it only about a month ago, but so far so good! Great price, love the size of the short profile.. it allowed us to upgrade from a 40 gallon to a 50 gallon without any changes to the location of the connections. Easy to install -- took less than 2 hours. A little disappointed we couldn't find a drain pan large enough to put under it at our local homestore but it's located in the garage so it's ok. Just wish it was a little more energy efficient, but figure that's part of why the price is so low. Overall a great value! 4-stars!

Shopped around for a replacement water heater. A lot of brands I'd not heard of. I was also surprised that many had warranties for 2-5 years. After researching and trying to find a better brand with greater longevity, I learned that Wayfair sold water heaters and they carried GE. I found the GE model I was looking with a 12 year warranty and ordered it. Excellent communication, reasonable shipping time frame (our old water heater was still limping along, so we were ok to wait but I ordered on the 15th and it arrived by the 22nd!) and shipping was free. We were able to remove the old water heater and install the new one without much trouble. I've ordered furniture and other household items in the past and have always been pleased.

Like my daughter said, "Mom, this water heater is a real life hack". Which translates to 'How did we ever live without this water heater? It took a bit of ingenuity, but I have it rigged up to either the outdoor shower or hot water to our washing machine at the cottage with just a turn of a hose valve. The first propane tank I hooked it up to was almost empty and we got about 12 showers and 10 loads of laundry with hot water. I have a friend who wants to buy one too, but they're sold out. He cannot find one. It was so easy to set up. I simply cannot say enough positive comments about my Eccotemp L5!

Im so excited about this portable, tankless water heater! I spend most of my summer camping and enjoying the great outdoors. This is the best way to get a nice hot shower while out in nature. Simple to use and easy to transport. Love it!

Love this. Finally get my outside shower today. Amazing. It was great! Once I got the temperature I wanted it was steady. If I wanted it hotter I turned down the force of the water. It is great to have a long shower. It felt so good. Hung it on a hook and it is just perfect! I got the black one and I am glad I did. It blends in with the background and well it is black so it can only make things hotter! Nice sturdy hose with the showerhead. I have used the other hot water heaters by Camplux and they worked great but this unit is lighter and easier to move and put where you want it. Hanging it by the handle makes it so easy to use! I am so glad my last one did not make it thru the winter. This one is a major step up. And costs less than last one I bought. I am impressed.
