UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.

It holds 38 gallons in the test, 2 gallons less than its 40-gallon sold size. It delivers 91 gallons of hot water in the test's first hour. Reheating lets it give 53 gallons beyond the 38 gallons in its tank. In the first hour, 120 of the 763 gas storage models give more hot water. The median gas storage model gives 78 gallons in the first hour of the test.

It was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified on Oct 26, 2026. In the test, 27% of its energy does not reach the hot water (UEF 0.73). Its test simulated a day of high hot water use (its draw pattern). Of 434 gas storage models with the same draw pattern, 54 have a higher UEF and 363 a lower one. For its type and draw pattern, the median UEF is 0.66.
