UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.
Sold as 55 gallons, it holds 55 gallons in the test. Starting full, it gives 75 gallons of hot water in its first hour of use. Reheating lets it give 20 gallons beyond the 55 gallons in its tank. Among 477 electric storage models, 14 have a higher first-hour rating. Among electric storage models, the median first-hour rating is 55 gallons.
In the test, 7% of its energy does not reach the hot water (UEF 0.93). Its test ran at the high level of daily hot water use. Of 23 electric storage models with the same draw pattern, 13 have a higher UEF. For its type and draw pattern, the UEF runs from 0.93 to 0.94. The water took in 98% of the energy used to reheat it (its recovery efficiency).
It is sold as ERE255T*-*****, LE255T*-*****, and RE255T*-*****. Its test figures match those of one other basic model. That one carries the JETGLAS brand name.
