UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.

It holds 26 gallons in the test, 4 gallons less than its 30-gallon sold size. Starting full, it gives 53 gallons of hot water in its first hour of use. Reheating lets it give 27 gallons beyond the 26 gallons in its tank. In the first hour, 265 of the 477 electric storage models give more hot water. The median electric storage model gives 55 gallons in the first hour of the test.

In tests, 93% of the energy went to hot water, so its UEF is 0.93. In the test, daily hot water use was set to medium (its draw pattern). Of 297 electric storage models with the same draw pattern, 20 have a higher UEF. A UEF of 0.92 is the median for its type and draw pattern. The water took in 98% of the energy used to reheat it (its recovery efficiency).
