Great product
We bought this to replace an existing GE smarthome water heater that was a 2006 model. It still worked. We were just adding a new water softener system & filtration system.

Basic, but reliable!
I don't need to have all of the wifi connectivity. I tried it, but there really aren't that many options to mess with to justify having another app on my phone. However, app works, also pushing the actual buttons on the water heater works too. Water is consistent and there are no problems, just what I like.

Like the brand
So far so good. Replaced a GE water that was 16 years old. Nothing wrong with it, except age. It looked and worked like a brand new one. Did nothing to it in 16 years!
Always replace things before they go bad.

Easy controls and WiFi connection!
I travel for work and I've always wanted a WiFi connectable water heater. The controls are very easy to use and simple to turn on vacation mode for a specific number of days when I'm traveling for work. Then it returns to normal mode before I'm home. I love this!

Works as it should
I am happy with this water heater, the price point was a little high compared to similar water heaters, but hoping I get what I paid for.

Works so far
Uses a lot of electricity, but I chose it to replace a gas hot water heater because I have solar panels on my roof. I hope this is a good decision.

Good so far
This replaced a 20 year old GE hot water heater. Install went good except there are no instructions for the wifi feature. After searching around found you need to install the smarthq app and follow instructions to turn on wifi and configure.

The Cottage Hot Water from
Took 2 to get it right
Only had the water heater for about a month. It heats water! The wifi and app are just OK. Very simple but effective for my use at the cottage.
I do have to say the quality of the build is not great. The 1st one there was a leak at the cold water intake. It too 2 weeks to get a replacement water heater. Thank god it was for a cottage and not my home. The 2nd unit arrived. The overflow valve is not installed properly...it should point straight down...but mine is off by about 20 degree angle. Not a big deal...I am using PEX as my down pile so it flex’s fine...but really...can’t someone see that isn’t right at the manufacturing site...lazy!
I kept the unit as I did not want to wait another 2 weeks for a replacement.
One last thing...not a big deal. Once the WiFi is enabled there is a quit high pitch squeal coming from the control board. It’s in the basement and you need to be close to the unit to hear it but it could be irritating. Just waiting for it to fail...lol.

Terrible Delivery, wrong manual included, value?
Desired non-smart unit was out of stock, so needed to buy this more expensive 'smart units'. Upgrade was not worth it. Delivery assured on 4 days and only cancelled after no-show. Took 21 days vs 3-5 promised. Came with manual for non-smart unit! Complaint not answered.

Smart feature is absolutely useless. Save your $
This could be an awesome water heater IF GE put in some effort to develop the app. Currently, the "smart" features are setting the temperature and vacation mode via WiFi. However, most people will set it and forget it.
There should be analytics for usage. Electricity saving modes. Common GE, you guys are the engineers here.
Otherwise, save your money and buy another brand that has more features in their app.
