“Our existing water heater was down to one element (broken one at bottom was rusted into place) after 14 years of service. Read about the new GE Hybrid technology on 11/17 (never knew that it was even in the works until now) and being in the Cincinnati area; was in a limited availability area and able to get this installed today 11/20. It took 3 guys around 3 hours to install (this is new for...” --trevorc45102
“When we built our new home we opted for the Rinnai option that the builder offered. It was about a $2,000 option and we didn't install it ourselves, so that's why I left off the price since it can probably be had for less if you contract straight to the vendor. The system has been great with no complaints. Our gas bill is about $8 in the summer when we are only using the Rinnai (no...” --pgallett
“ I have four Schuco solar thermal panels which have been installed for less than one year. After less than nine months one of the panels developed fogged glass over about one-half of its inside surface. The appearance is of a failed coating. As the fogged glass will reduce thermal collection efficiency, I asked my installer to examine and contact Schuco for warranty...” --kay1
“I own one and now looking to replace because it's a piece of junk. I was a Maytag repairman from 1979-87 and can tell you I would have no other washer/dryer than a Maytag. Now I own Maytags through out my house, stove, microwave, washer, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator. Not anymore, soon as I start having issues they are being replaced with something OTHER than Maytag. First the washer is a...” --gomentmuel
“ Amana does not stand behind their products. You get the circular treatment, they pass you off to the dealer who passes you off to the warranty, who passes you back to the dealer and you have the circular path of no one takes any responsibility for the product. This product has major design flaws as did an earlier Amana washer and Amana knows this as I have a letter where they talk about the...” --shots
“ We have had this dishwasher for several years. We bought a Maytag because we had heard how reliable they are! We have had to have it serviced more than 5 times, the heating element had to be replaced because it could start a fire. I didn't receive a notification about this I just happened to find it on the internet. The bottom water spinner got off balance & had to be replaced. The door...” --JennB
“I am very pleased with this water heater. Waiting 30 seconds for water to warm is not a problem when you consider the waste of a conventional water heater reheating water constantly. My old house was three stories with a conventional water heater in the basement and it took at least the same amount of time for the hot water to reach the third floor. I now live in a one bedroom apartment loft...” --cecilia11
“We bought this machine in 2001at hhgregg for $633.56. The salesman said this machine has proven to be a real workhorse. Maybe for his commission portfolio - lol. It does a decent and efficient job of cleaning clothes and is quiet running. But it has been problematic. Fortunately we got the 5 year warranty at an additional $99.99. Normally I don't go for these extended warranties. The...” --TimB
“ I have installed several of these systems and have one on my own home. It has proven to be amazingly effective even in ambient temperatures as low as -25 Celsius I have had +30 Celsius temperatures in my storage tank by early afternoon and I'm in a northern latitude. With some of my installed systems there have been component problems that were resolved immediately...” --SLREGL
“My A.O. Smith heater is only 5 years old. In that short span of time I have had to have the pilot assembly replaces, serviced twice, pulled off its base and serviced, it has cost me fee to have the dryer vent cleaned as well as the fluke. This has all been down at various times in a 3 year period. I have been told that each item is required to keep the pilot light on. I now live life...” --kim01
