Aquapower Mini-E 2-1
0.97 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade 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).
Checking the Aquapower Mini-E 2-1? It uses 609 kWh of electricity a year at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 6 kWh below the class median of 615 kWh, and it ranks 37th lowest energy use of 271 models.
Energy use per year
609 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 below the median of 615 kWh for the 271 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 37 of 271, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (609 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

This site computes the annual energy figure; the registry does not publish it. The figure is 609 kWh of electricity per year. It comes from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.97 for this model, and from the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the very small draw pattern. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The class is the 271 models registered as an electric tankless unit at this draw pattern, and its median is 615 kWh. This model is 6 kWh below that median. It ranks 37th lowest energy use, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The figure holds only at the federal test's daily draw.
The Aquapower Mini-E 2-1 is listed with a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 0.3. It is registered at the very small draw pattern, which covers small units such as a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink. The rank of 37th lowest of 271 applies to that comparison group only. It is not a ranking against other draw patterns. A household whose hot-water use is larger than the very small draw pattern falls outside what this figure describes. The registry data used here gives no value for other draw patterns, so that value is not available. To compare across sizes, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size, or find a same-class replacement by model number.
The running cost is not written here because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. Multiply 609 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour for a check, or use the cost calculator on your own ZIP, which applies your tariff for you. The method behind the annual cost is documented separately. The result is a modeled figure at the very small draw pattern, not a measurement of your home, and it changes with how much hot water you actually draw. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page as a modeled range, not a quote. The 6 kWh gap to the class median is stated in energy only, because the data behind this page contains no tariff.
