Bosch TR4000C-10* vs Eemax AM010277T: which uses less energy?
An asterisk in a model number stands for any character: one filing covers several variants.
At the very small draw pattern the Eemax AM010277T uses 615 kWh a year and the Bosch TR4000C-10* 622 — 6 kWh (1%) less, about 65 kWh over ten years. Both are filed as an electric tankless unit, so the comparison holds. Enter your ZIP below to price the difference.

What it costs to run
Reliability
Not published: Reliability, failure rates and each model’s actual warranty term.
The registries these figures come from certify energy performance under a federal test; none of them records how long a unit lasts or how often it fails, so this page does not rank the two on reliability.
What is here instead:
- The filed efficiency, capacity and tank size of both models, side by side above.
- No CPSC recall on file names either model (list checked 2026-09-24).
- The actual warranty term is printed in each model’s documentation, not in any registry.
Which should you pick?
- Pick the Eemax AM010277T if running cost matters most: it uses 6 kWh less a year on the same test.
- Pick the Bosch TR4000C-10* if you run more fixtures at once: it lists 1.1 GPM against 1.
- Neither if you need more than 1.1 GPM at the same time — neither unit lists more. Check how to size a tankless unit by GPM.
