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

It holds 45 gallons in the test, 5 gallons less than its 50-gallon sold size. Starting full, it gives 74 gallons of hot water in its first hour of use. Reheating lets it give 29 gallons beyond the 45 gallons in its tank. In the first hour, 23 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 the test, 8% of its energy does not reach the hot water (UEF 0.92). Its test ran at the medium level of daily hot water use. Of 297 electric storage models with the same draw pattern, 81 have a higher UEF and 2 a lower one. Its UEF is the median for its type and draw pattern. Of the energy spent to reheat water, 98% goes into it (its recovery efficiency).

Its 3 model numbers are EE6-50-DURT 1**, EEA8-50-DFRT 1**, and EEX-50-DURT 1**. All of its test figures are shared by 4 other basic models. Each of them is listed under a different brand. For the full group, see the A. O. Smith HETF-50 1** page.
