UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.
It holds 44 gallons in the test, 4 gallons less than its 48-gallon sold size. Starting full, it gives 60 gallons of hot water in its first hour of use. That is 16 gallons more than its tank holds, since it reheats during the hour. In the first hour, 145 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 it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 0.93). In the test, daily hot water use was set to medium (its draw pattern). Among 297 electric storage models on its draw pattern, 20 have a higher UEF. For its type and draw pattern, the UEF runs from 0.91 to 0.95. Of the energy spent to reheat water, 98% goes into it (its recovery efficiency).
All of its test figures are shared by 5 other basic models. Each of the 5 other brands lists one of them. For the full group, see the A. O. Smith ENLB-50 1**.
