I totally agree. The GE smartwater 50 gas WH (made by Rheem) that Home Depot sells is a piece of crap. I recently installed one for a friend
and it didn't work. Had to remove it drive back to HD and get another one. Installed the second one and a month and a half later it stopped working. Removed it and went to Lowe's and purchased a Whirlpool. So far so good.
Also had very bad luck with A O Smith 50 gal. electric water heaters in my home. The first one leaked after 4 years 3 months. The second one lasted 3 years 2 months. The third one lasted 2 years 2 months and the forth one lasted exactly 1 year. All 4 of them leaked water. Junk!!!! The only reason I kept using AO Smith is because they were under warranty. When the forth one went bad the 9 year warranty had expired so I went to Lowe's and purchased a Whirlpool. A O Smith told me it was because I have a water softener.
