Review: Works great, no problems installing. - Our home was built in 2004, the water heater hasn't been replaced since then, a few months ago it stopped keeping the water as hot, so my husband had me research and order a replacement for him to install. He had no issues with the install, believe he watched an instructional video. Water heater is back to working great again.
Review: Worth it's weight in gold - Exact size and easy to install. Thank goodness it was just the element
