You are correct. Apparently, Rheem has revised their classic warranty to 10 years. However, this warranty only covers the parts for 10 years, and the labor for one year. When you replace a water heater, the labor will be the most expensive part of the replacement.

Update: Home Depot and the Rheem website still refers to the performance $449 water heater as having a 6-year warranty, but other websites show it to be 10 years. Very confusing.
