Our verdict

A small point-of-use electric heater that supplies hot water at a distant sink or boosts a long pipe run. It stores only a little hot water, so it suits one fixture and not a whole home.

Overview

A stainless steel heating element warms a small stored volume of water in this GE tank heater, which has a simple knob to set temperature. It mounts on a wall or stands on the floor, and standard NPT fittings simplify the plumbing.

Hot water arrives quickly at a faraway tap, and it can also work in line with a main heater to shorten waits on long runs. Capacity is small, so continuous showers or multiple taps will outrun it, and the listing says little about recovery time.

Who it's for

A cabin, RV bay, garage or kitchen island gains a local hot water source without long waits. Households that want to run a shower or fill a tub from it should look at a larger tank or tankless unit.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Compact point-of-use design
  • Wall or floor placement
  • Standard threaded connections
  • Stainless steel element and anode rod
Cons
  • Small stored volume
  • Recovery time not listed
  • Amp draw unspecified

Performance notes

A small tank heats quickly but empties fast, so the useful output is the stored volume plus whatever the element can add while water flows. The thermostat holds the water near the chosen temperature, and the sacrificial anode rod protects the tank from corrosion. Placing it close to the fixture cuts the wait that comes from long pipe runs.
