Sold as 50 gallons, it holds 50 gallons in the test. It delivers 119 gallons of hot water in the test's first hour. That is 69 gallons more than its tank holds, since it reheats during the hour. Among 763 gas storage models, 32 have a higher first-hour rating. The median gas storage model gives 78 gallons in the first hour of the test.
As of Oct 26, 2026, it was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified. In tests, 73% of the energy went to hot water, so its UEF is 0.73. In the test, daily hot water use was set to high (its draw pattern). Its UEF is lower than that of 54 of the 434 gas storage models with its draw pattern. A UEF of 0.66 is the median for its type and draw pattern. The water took in 82% of the energy used to reheat it (its recovery efficiency).
