Rheem ProTerra 15 A 65 Gal
#15 in 65 GallonFull review
The ProTerra for a home that only has a 15 A, 240 V circuit, such as one left by a small electric tank: it avoids rewiring but gives up some efficiency and first-hour delivery.
The Rheem ProTerra 15 A 65 Gal rates 2.9 among 65 gallon heat pump water heaters; the Rheem ProTerra Plug-in 50 Gal rates 2.5 among 40–50 gallon ones.
Rheem ProTerra Plug-in 50 Gal
#21 in 40–50 GallonFull review
A plug-in for replacing a gas tank in a mild-climate garage or basement without new wiring. Buy a size up, since it has no element to fall back on.
