E

Grade E: where this UEF sits among the 271 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tankless unit, very small draw pattern (small units - a single bathroom, or a point-of-use heater under a sink).

If you are checking this unit, the Aquapower Mini 2.5-1, an electric tankless unit, uses 615 kWh of electricity a year at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That equals the class median of 615 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh, among 271 registered models.


Energy use per year

615 kWh a year

Computed by this site from the registry's UEF and the federal test's daily hot-water draw for this draw pattern. What it costs depends on the electricity rate where you live.

That is equal to the median of 615 kWh for the 271 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 77 of 271, lowest energy first.

This model: 615 kWh

Solid line: this model (615 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

Safety record

No CPSC recall names this model.

Checked against the CPSC recall database. CPSC does not publish a model-level match for this product category, so this list is curated by hand from the manufacturer's recall filings.

What these figures mean

This site computed the figure of 615 kWh; the registry does not publish it. The calculation combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.96 with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the very small draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only at that test draw. A household that draws more or less hot water will use a different amount, and the registry gives no value for other usage. The steps are described in how the annual cost is calculated.

Among the 271 electric tankless models registered at the very small draw pattern, this unit ranks 77th lowest for energy use, in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its use is equal to the class median of 615 kWh, so the difference is 0 kWh. The listed maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.3. That suits small units - a single bathroom, or a point-of-use heater under a sink - which is the use the very small draw pattern represents. Demand above 0.3 gallons per minute is outside what the registry lists for this model.

The running cost is not stated here because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. Multiplying 615 kWh by your rate gives the yearly cost at the test draw, and the cost calculator on your own ZIP does this for you. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on the page, with its source and date, and is not repeated here. If you need another unit in the same class, you can find a same-class replacement by model number starting from Mini 2.5-1. Measured household use for this model is not available.
