5.0 out of 5 stars Very good product from a reliable vendor November 19, 2009

This new unit is replacing the almost same model from Rheem that lasted 18 years without any maintenance so I expect the same durability from this water heater.

Buy Plumbing shipped the product very quickly and got home well packed and in perfect conditions. The installation was easy (you have to have some tools and basic knowledge of what you are doing),just check (and follow!) the installation instructions and your local regulations.

1.0 out of 5 stars Want A Dented Water Heater??? Buy a Rheem at Amazon July 29, 2011

By Joe Enginerd

Apparently all AMAZON has is dented Rheem water heaters. Over a 2 week period I have ordered and returned 3, that is THREE Rheem water heaters all which arrived DENTED, and damaged in other ways. On at least one the pressure release valve was bent in the mounting hole, and the special pressure tab was all wrinkled and the edges were rolled over. Amazon's response was fantastic, fast and professional. They even compensated me for the hassle. I will definitely order from Amazon again, but CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED on the water heaters. Since the first box was obviously damaged, and the second two were damaged very little, it made me wonder if the other damaged water heaters were being repackaged and reshipped hoping that people in a jam would accept them. My water heater is only leaking slowly and I have a dam around it in case it breaks. I can wait to get a good one. But with 3 strikes, Amazon is not the place to by a Rheem water heater. They have shipped me a tread mill in the past just fine! So maybe the problem is with their supplier. But I am done investigating this one.....

4.0 out of 5 stars Good water heater, but it arrived a little banged up September 28, 2010

By Erik Reseland

Since there was a $150 difference between ordering this water heater from Amazon versus getting it at my local retailer, I picked Amazon. I was a little uneasy ordering a water heater from the internet but when it arrived it looked fine, that is until I fully took it out of the box.

It had a sizable dent by one of the bottom screen vents. The box barely had a mark on it, but apparently something gave it a nice whack.

I figured it would be a big pain to try to ship this thing back and since I believed the dent would not affect it's operation I went ahead and had it installed.

It's been a week since it has been installed and the water heater works great and has no problems. It's also much more efficient then my old 40 gallon model it replaced.
