Pros
- Comes with a leak sensor and automatic shut-off valve
- Delivers 95 gallons of hot water in the first hour, a lot for its size
- Built-in Wi-Fi: set schedules and vacation mode from the A. O. Smith (iCOMM) app
Cons
- Switches to the backup element when the room drops below 37 °F, so it saves little in a freezing garage
