Customers Say

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

This 50-gallon water heater delivers impressively quick hot water recovery, making it ideal for busy households managing multiple showers and appliances. The whisper-quiet operation won't disturb nearby living spaces, while its space-efficient design fits neatly into tight spots. Though some users note temperature consistency can take time to dial in perfectly, and electrical compatibility should be verified beforehand, the unit's robust safety features and energy-efficient performance offer peace of mind. The built-in water filtration system adds unexpected value, providing cleaner, better-tasting hot water. While professional installation is recommended, the standardized connections make the process straightforward for most homes. The balanced combination of capacity and efficiency works well for typical family needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good so far Our old water heater lasted 17 years, so I’m hoping this GE one does as well. We had it professionally installed. He said he had to set it to 102 degrees, which just wasn’t hot enough . My husband bumped it up a few degrees. It seems well made.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Quality Water Heater [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Visual quality of water heater is excellent. Just two days in usage, just had to up the thermostat(s) temperature up a bit to deliver hotter water for longer periods of time. The water temperature adjustment seems pretty straight forward according to maintenance manual. Very Happy with the water heater so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Looks great. Works great since it was installed. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had GE water heater for 25 years. Quite old device. It still worked but I decided to get a new one before the old one stop working in the middle of winter or so. I hope that new products by GE are as good as 25 years old products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hopefully a great product 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
