    My earlier review was premature as i rated the product 1 star when i saw water leaking on floor. But after talking to Rheem Rep, realized the mistake was mine. I hadn’t connected the condensation line. and once i did that, its worked great ever since.

    This is a good water heater, it is efficient and will save pretty close to the money Rheem claims, but they do not mention it’s major drawback, and that is the noise it generates, both from the fan which is loud and the condenser unit which has a penetrating buzzy, clicky sound. In the average home, this could be deal breaker. I read about it before I bought mine and I hoped it would not be as bad as people made out, but it was. Our laundry/utility room is under the kitchen, the sound easily penetrated the uninsulated flooring. Worse, the noise permeated into the the living space and the bedroom downstairs which have a common walls with the utility room. Something had to be done, so I set about doing some McGyver sound insulation. I wrapped the top half of the tank and the top with some leftover carpet pad – 1/2″ dense foam with a water seal backing, making sure to leave the intake and exhaust clear, next I cut a plastic storage box to the shape needed to direct the exhaust downwards and insulted that with the carpet pad. Finally I built a hood with an overhang to cover the intake out of cardboard and wood and insulted that too. My sound meter is bust, so I can’t tell exactly how much this reduced the noise, but I would say around 60%, which is better than I had expected. The fix cost me $20 in materials. I researched professional acoustic materials before starting, finding the cost of those materials would have been ~$500. It does look a little funky, but it works and I am am moving on. I do think Rheem should be more upfront about the noise. Maybe I should start a business doing should insulation on Rheem water heaters.

    The best. Our water it’s hot in 2 seconds. We love it. Energy savings. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.
