UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.
It holds 78 gallons in the test, 2 gallons less than its 80-gallon sold size. It delivers 85 gallons of hot water in the test's first hour. That is 7 gallons more than its tank holds, since it reheats during the hour. Of 21 grid-enabled models, 9 give more hot water in the first hour. In first-hour rating, it ties the median grid-enabled model.
In tests, 92% of the energy it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 0.92). In the test, daily hot water use was set to high (its draw pattern). Of 21 grid-enabled models with the same draw pattern, 2 have a higher UEF. For its type and draw pattern, its UEF sits at the median. Of the energy spent to reheat water, 98% goes into it (its recovery efficiency).
All of its test figures are shared by 2 other basic models. The VAUGHN and VAUGHN THERMAL brands list one or more of them.
