Easy and nice
Received on time and in good shape. I had a plumber scheduled to install but after reading the directions it looked easy enough to do myself, so I did. We now have plenty of hot water for our laundry room.

Great little water heater!
I bought this to use as a temporary water heater while I was installing a new gas tankless heater. There’s just so much to do when switching from a traditional water heater to a tankless and I didn’t want to be without hot water for days on end. This Little GE electric water heater has allowed me to take my time installing the tankless heater. It has enough capacity for both my wife and I to take back-to-back showers. and if the tankless heater should ever fail or need service, I can use this little GE heater as a back up.

Perfect for our tiny house!
We picked this product for use in our tiny house. It has received great reviews and is the perfect size for our use. I have never installed a hot water heater before and this is as easy as it gets I believe! Thanks!

Great Inexpensive 18 gallon Water Heater
Our tankless heater went out over a month ago and we connected this electric water heater up as a temporary fix in our garage until our new tankless is installed. It's a iow price, light weight, quality made, 18 gallon water heater. It provides plenty of hot water for a quick 10 minute shower using a low flow shower head. Installation only took a matter of minutes using a 6' standard stainless steel laundry hoses since it was a temporary fix. It comes with an 120 Volt AC cord. We used an Appliance rated 6' extension cord to plug it in since our outlet wasn't quite close enough. Important note: this water heater is rated at 1500 watts. I noticed that some of the other brands on the market were rated at 2000 watts which exceed plug-in requirements. We have not experienced any electrical breaker trips since 1500 watts is just right !

If you're waiting too long for hot water...
We were having a problem with the dishwasher and kitchen sink taking too long (2 gallons wasted) before we had any hot water. This also caused the dishwasher to work poorly as the pods didn't get dissolved by cool water. We put this water heater under the sink, and we now have instant hot water.

Cylindrical Grey colored water tank
This tank checks the boxes, line in, line out, t&p port, drain spigot. I wish the wiring area was a little larger. The drain spigot seems like a good upgrade given the one being replaced didn't have a drain. The price of the tank was better than competition and tank life expectancy also better than competition.

Good and not-so-good...
Not at all a fan of side-mount water inlet/outlets. These should always be mounted on top. If you're going to have side-mounts, then you should include 90 degree elbows. Had to get those separately, and then plumb to my overhead water lines. Also not a fan of the plastic drain valve. That should be metal. Does include a TPR valve, which is good, but I also had to buy a special top mount drain line separately. Parts are well-labelled, and the instructions are fairly straightforward. Size is nice for one bathroom. We're not half-hour shower folks. It'll give you a hot 10 minute shower. That's all I need. Replaced a 40 gallon propane water heater (Rheem) that lasted exactly 8 years, and was NOT cheap. Planned obsolescence. This is much less expensive to operate. Might get another for the other bathroom. Much cheaper than buying a large water heater, and if one goes bad, you still have the other functioning til you get a replacement.

Frustrating
Why would the manufacturer put the water temperature control on the back ? Every hot water heater we’ve owned through many years is in a closet or cabinet of some sort. We had trouble getting hot water and the company told us to put it in minimum, then maximum and then back to preset. That worked but trying to adjust in with mirrors and flashlights was very difficult. We didn’t want to have to drain the water to take it out. We live in the desert and water is precious.
Our old water heater which was also a GE, that control was in the front. Please from now on, put it on the front.

GE20P08BAR wouldn't recommend
Had to have the thermostat replaced under warranty...didn't correct the issue. New unit was sent as a replacement but same issue persists. Hot water heater does not heat correctly. You have to manually bump the temp up all the way, then all the way down...then to the desired temp setting. Problem is both units fail to heat correctly. Bad batch maybe, but recent reviews echo our situation (slow initial heatup, slow recovery time etc) but maybe those units are part of this hopeful bad batch (?). Customer service has been outstanding, extremely helpful and very understanding during this...cant thank them enough
