"GE Hot Water Heater Does The Job"
When we bought our house in the summer of 2011 the one thing we didn't think we would have to replace was the hot water heater. While it was an older model with some wear and rust on the tank, it was working and we were hoping to put off buying a replacement. The company insuring our home had other thoughts and demanded we have the heater replaced so we bought a new one in September of 2011. We went with the GE Model 40M06AAG which is a 53 gallon model and is electric. We love our hot water heater. We haven't had any problems with it at all. It heats the water quickly and we have not run out of hot water even when we shower, wash dishes and run a load of wash at the same time. The installation was easy and it runs quietly and efficiently. I would definitely buy the same brand again or recommend it to a friend as the cost was in the mid-range for hot water heaters so fit our budget and it has functioned so well for us. We're hoping this GE hot water heater lasts us many more years and works just as well as it has since we moved to this house.

"Gas Water Heater"
We've had our GE water heater for about 2 years. We had a GE previously and never had any problems with it, so we decided to go for the same brand when moving into our new house. The best thing about it is that we are NEVER out of hot water. We recently had company and I did a load of dishes, then 4 different people took showers, and we had hot water all through. The only thing negative I have to say about it is not even anything I consider a down side- the person who installed it said it was difficult to install. Not having any experience with it myself, I can't really confirm if this is true! I've never had any problems or needed to repair it, and I'd definitely recommend this or another GE water heater to a friend. It's also energy star rated, which is a great thing with any appliance you are installing.

"GE Natural Gas Water Heater is Worth the Money"
I have had this water heater for about 2 years now and I love it. My old heater was very loud and the water took a long time to warm up. With my 40 gal. GE water heater, the water heats up instantly! No more waiting to go into the shower. The water heater is very quiet too. I have my heater in my kitchen and the noise from my old heat was a problem. Never had to repair it so far, which is a good sign. I have recommend this brand to many friends and I trust GE completely. Thanks for my new heater.

"My GE hot water heater is great and it was a great value. Very recommended."
I have owned my GE waterheater for about a year and a half, so it is fairly new. I love that all the water in my house heats up so quickly, the pressure is good, and it stays an even temperature, unlike my last water heater. My only complaint is that when all the way up, the water is SO scalding, dangerous for my small kids. I havn't had to fix or replace anything, and it seems to be built strong. I am happy to have switched to GE, it is much nicer then my old water heater. I have recommended GE to friends with older systems.

"meeter of the heater!"
we have owned the water heater for almost 3 years. It was purchased new when i bought the house by the seller as part of my commitment to buy the home. The one prior had been converted from a solar powered hot water heater to an electric and it was not in great shape. I would guess that it was over 15 years old. The seller purchased this and we installed it ourselves. It was very easy to hook up, especially considering i wasn't the one doing the work! What i like about it is that it is 40 gallons and with just two of us in the home, there is always more than enough hot water for showers in the morning and if i decide to wash a load of laundry that requires hot water, there is generally enough left over for that as well. It is relatively energy efficient and doesn't cost much to operate. A sight less than the old one would have i'd imagine anyways! I don't really have anything to say negative about it out side of one thing. I wish it had a shutoff valve or something to keep water from coming out of it in case of a leak in the pipes. I had a mishap with a pipe breaking last year and the entire tank had to drain before the water finished coming out because there was a shut off valve going into the tank but not coming out! no repairs to the tank itself, just the pipes. I would definetly recommend based on the price of these tanks (even though i didn't have to purchase it myself, i have purchased ge tanks in the past) and the efficiency and longevity that comes with them.

"GE water heater."
I have owned my General Electric water heater for seven years, it is a great water heater! I like the fact that General Electric brand products last, and the energy star products help save money on my electric bill. I also like that General Electric brand has been around a long time. When considering purchasing appliances I search Internet reviews on brands and products. General Electric had a very good review for there products. I can not think of anything I do not like about my water heater. I have also purchased General Electric energy star front loader washer and dryer, microwave, stove, fridge, and dishwasher. GE is my favorite brand, and has proved to me that it is a great long lasting brand for appliances. I would definitely recommend the General Electric brand to other people, and I myself would buy this brand again.

"My Review gas water heater"
I have owned this gas water heater for over a year and a half now. What I like about it is that it is more energy efficent than my last one. I notice at least a 10% energy savings in gas over my old water heater. If I has one compaint it would be it's capacity is a little small less than 50 gallons which is fine as long as you don't take a couple of showers and run the dishwasher and other things back to back. So far yes I would recommend this water heater to a friend and I would buy another GE brand I can't tell you about it's life expectency because I am stillusing it. Thank You

"GE 48 Gal Tall 40,000 BTU Water Heater"
I purchased this GE 48 gallon tall 40,000 BTU water heater last year from home depot. My old one went out and was no longer covered by warranty. The Installation was a jiffy with clear markings and clear instructions on how to install. I was really simple to install, just remove old one then replace with new one and new lines. Also do not forget to use a water heater blanket if you are somewhere cold or its main place it outside. To see if the pilot is lit just remove the front cover which comes off easy and look through the window. It did not take much time for this new GE water heater to heat up the first batch of hot water. The temperature gauge is easy to adjust to hotter or colder. Another plus is the 9 year warranty that comes with this model, just make sure you have the original receipt kept. The only con I could think of would just be the weight, not that it is any different than another brand, it just takes two people to move and install. In nine plus years I will definitely be buying another GE water heater.

"Needed a new and better water heater."
In December of 2009 my wife and I bought our first house. When we moved in we noticed that we both could not shower one right after another or the hot water would be gone half way through the second shower. We could not run the dishwasher and washing machine on hot together either. So we went to the local home improvement store to find a new water heater that we liked better than the one we had. The old water heater was only a 30 gallon and had to have been installed 20 years prior. We chose this water heater because of a few reasons. First was the brand GE is a well known brand and makes quality products. It came with a 3 year full replacement warranty and was 50 gallons. It was so easy to install that we were able to do it ourselves which was great because it cut down installation costs. After we got it up and running we were able to run the washing machine dishwasher and shower all at the same time. We also loved the water heater because it heated up water really quickly before we got it we had to wait a couple hours before we had enough hot water again but with this one we only had to wait about 30 minutes. We have been very happy with the choice we made.
