UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.
It holds 35 gallons in the test, 3 gallons less than its 38-gallon sold size. Over one hour from a full tank, it gave 54 gallons in the test (its first-hour rating). Its tank holds 35 gallons, so reheating adds 19 gallons during the first hour. In the first hour, 239 of the 477 electric storage models give more hot water. Among electric storage models, the median first-hour rating is 55 gallons.
In the test, 8% of its energy does not reach the hot water (UEF 0.92). In the test, daily hot water use was set to medium (its draw pattern). Of 297 electric storage models with the same draw pattern, 81 have a higher UEF. On its draw pattern, its UEF is also the median electric storage UEF. The water took in 98% of the energy used to reheat it (its recovery efficiency).
Its test figures match those of 4 other basic models. Those basic models are sold with MRCOOL and Stream 33 as their brand names.
