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?

  • Either one: On filed figures these are interchangeable; decide on installed price and availability.
  • Neither if your household's busiest hour needs more than 47 gallons of hot water — neither lists more. Check whether a 30-gallon heater is enough.
