"Good deal for a one resident home"
I've owned this marathon water heater for about 6 months now. I bought it on sale and for the discount I would say that this is a decent water heater. It takes little longer than I would like for it to heat up for a good shower (probably two minutes or so) but it keeps the water hot for the duration, and I usually take reasonably long showers. For a smaller home that does not have people lining up to take their morning showers, I would say that this would be a good water heater for it.

"Water Heaters are something you can't delay in buying!"
My water heater which was only 5 years old, had sprung a leak in the garage and had honestly never replaced one before in my life. Living in a track home, neighbors had recent problems as well and turned me onto home depot for good prices. With a neighbors aid, we removed the old unit in 15 minutes and and replaced the new Marathon 40 gallon unit in another 15 minutes. What a difference in how fast my shower water got hot! Didn't have to wait 3 to 5 minutes to warm up anymore. And with 4 people taking showers right after each other, we don't experience running out of hot water even with the 40 gallon tank. What a dislike is how heavy they are to install but love how fast it works now.
