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

Sold as 40 gallons, it holds 40 gallons in the test. Starting full, it gives 66 gallons of hot water in its first hour of use. Reheating lets it give 26 gallons beyond the 40 gallons in its tank. Among 477 electric storage models, 59 have a higher first-hour rating. Among electric storage models, the median first-hour rating is 55 gallons.

In tests, 92% of the energy it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 0.92). Its test simulated a day of medium hot water use (its draw pattern). Among 297 electric storage models on its draw pattern, 81 have a higher UEF. On its draw pattern, its UEF is also the median electric storage UEF. Of the energy spent to reheat water, 98% goes into it (its recovery efficiency).

Its 2 model numbers are GE40T10BLM01 and GE40T12BLM01. All of its test figures are shared by one other basic model. For the full group, see the GE GE40S10BAM01.
