| Model number | Storage volume (gal) | UEF | First-hour rating (gal) | Recovery efficiency | Draw pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6-50-EOHRS 1** | 46 | 0.92 | 57 | 98% | Medium |

UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.
It holds 46 gallons in the test, 4 gallons less than its 50-gallon sold size. Over one hour from a full tank, it gave 57 gallons in the test (its first-hour rating). Reheating lets it give 11 gallons beyond the 46 gallons in its tank. In the first hour, 177 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, 92% of the energy went to hot water, so its UEF is 0.92. Its test ran at the medium level of daily hot water use. Its UEF is lower than that of 81 of the 297 electric storage models with its draw pattern. 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).
Its 3 model numbers are 6-50-EOHRS 1**, 6-50-EORS 1**, and 9-50-EORS 1**. There are 5 more basic models with the same test figures. Each of them is listed under a different brand. For the full group, see the A. O. Smith ENS-50 1**.
