VAUGHN MP80F
0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade C: where this UEF sits among the 21 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank your utility can shift to off-peak hours, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
At the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, the VAUGHN MP80F uses 5,392 kWh a year. That equals its class median of 5,392 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh, and ranks 3rd lowest of 21 models for energy use.
Energy use per year
5,392 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 5,392 kWh for the 21 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 3 of 21, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (5,392 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What it costs to install
Not published: Installed cost range
This model's rated tank size lies outside the range NLR REMDB's cost model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.
The annual energy figure on this page does not depend on this range and is unaffected.
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.

UEF 0.92 · Grade C Price it on your ZIP
The figure of 5,392 kWh was computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.92 with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. It is therefore a test-condition figure. A household that draws more or less hot water than the test will use a different amount. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The comparison covers only the 21 models registered as an electric tank your utility can shift to off-peak hours at this draw pattern. The steps behind the calculation are described under how the annual cost is calculated.
The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This model's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 83, and its rated volume is 80 gallons. Its energy use sits 0 kWh from the class median of 5,392 kWh, so it is neither above nor below the middle of the class. It ranks 3rd lowest of 21, which places it in the lowest quarter for energy use. The supplied data gives both the equal-to-median difference and the rank, and it does not explain how the two fit together. A household with lower demand falls outside the pattern this figure describes, and this page does not estimate its use. The selector by fuel, space and size covers other cases.
The running cost is not written here because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The page computes it from your ZIP, applied to the annual figure of 5,392 kWh at the high draw pattern. The cost calculator on your own ZIP does this for the VAUGHN MP80F. An installed price range is not published for this model. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it. Actual use in a home is not measured by the registry, so the figure is a comparison at test conditions only. To check a same-class alternative, find a same-class replacement by model number.
