It holds 46 gallons in the test, 1 gallon more than its 45-gallon sold size. Starting full, it gives 70 gallons of hot water in its first hour of use. Its tank holds 46 gallons, so reheating adds 24 gallons during the first hour. Of 481 heat pump models, 251 give more hot water in the first hour. The median heat pump model gives 72 gallons in its first hour.

It has 2 model numbers that are ENERGY STAR certified. In the test, it gives 3.52 units of hot water energy per unit it uses (its UEF). It moves heat from the air rather than making it, so its UEF passes 1. Its test simulated a day of medium hot water use (its draw pattern). Of 226 heat pump models with the same draw pattern, 143 have a higher UEF and 68 a lower one. For its type and draw pattern, the median UEF is 3.68. While it reheats, the water gains 429% of the energy it uses (its recovery efficiency).

Its 2 model numbers are RHPCO-45 1**+RXST-50S 1** and RHPCO-45 1**+RXST-50SG 1**. Its test figures match those of 8 other basic models. Between them, those basic models carry 7 other brand names. You can find the whole group on the page for the A. O. Smith HPACO-45 1**+AXST-50S 1**.
