Bought a Rheem at Home Depot about 9 months ago. Works like a charm. I have always thought that the installation and start up of an appliance is a determining factor in it's success, and in our case we had a great plumber install it. Not rocket science, but there are some nuances to the install that are important.
I might add, that had I to do it over again-I might have waited- there are significant rebates and tax credits becoming available soon for 'electric heat pump' water heaters, as part of the implementation of the 'Inflation Reduction Act'. It's income dependent for the most part, but even someone making 150% of the county median income qualifies for a 50% rebate/discount. The program is already federally funded, just not set up quite yet in Florida. Will be though. Hope those 2 cents help with perspective.
