  • Works great, little wiring info included
Style: 18 Gallon Side Port
The box looked a little damaged but I checked the water heater and it was well packed inside for shipping and there wasn’t anything wrong with the water heater. I got it hooked up and it worked fine. Be prepared to see wire connections for only two hots and a ground, (no neutral). So my 10-3 AWG wire I had already installed, I found myself not seeing a place for the white wire. I connected the black and red wires to the heater power terminals, and the ground lead to the ground lug on the water heater, but the white wire had no separate designated terminal. I eventually landed the white wire on the ground lug connection. ... show more

  • American brand, made in China
Style: 18 Gallon Side Port
I am not giving it a full five stars because it is made in China, General Electric, along with many other companies used to be made in America!!! and I thought I was buying an American made product, my experience with Chinese made products including brand-name. Popular items has been less than stellar. Although the water heater does seem to work well, it uses the same technology that an American made unit would use, same water elements and thermostat, etc. I am just worried that the tank will not last. The shipping box that the water heater arrived in was pretty beat up and water heater itself had a few small dents and dings, but that is only superficial as there is a layer of insulation between the outside metal casing in the inside tank, none of the dents were deeper than 3/8 of an inch and the water heater is pretty well hidden out of sight as the water heater is an a hard to reach area in my home, the original American made GE unit made it over 30 years with no problems, this water heater is only for a bidet, so it does not get much use other than when the bidet in the bathroom is being used . It does seem to function well and holds temperature very close to where the setpoint is, that is important to have when it is hooked up to this type of bidet because some people can be scolded if it is too hot. So far, no leaks, etc. , it is only slightly larger than the 10 gallon unit that I replaced , it should be easy to install for most people that have a decent set of tools and knowledge of plumbing and proper techniques…. Overall time will tell on its quality, I hope it’s just as good if not better than the original made in America GE! ... show more

  • Check measurements before buying
Product was too wide still worked out fine though I ran some shark bites to it I had a merchandise for about a week now and haven't ran out of hot water with a house of five

  • Not 240V
Style: 18 Gallon Side Port
This is not a 240V unit! The manufacturer mislabeled it, and it is very much a 120V water heater. I could not get a hold of GE, so I called Amazon who game me their number. I got a hold of a person at GE and was told my only option was to return it. If you live in the middle of nowhere like I do, then you understand how difficult it is to return anything to Amazon. Looks like I'll no longer be a GE customer. Lesson learned...Go to in store places for appliances. ... show more

  • As advertised, but I was assuming everything was standard.
Style: 26 Gallon Top Port
I'm happy with the tank the only problem was my fault, I just assumed things would fit, but this thing is short and wide I actually had to tear out my shower partition to put it in, but the fault was all mine the tank works great
