Whirlpool Whirlpool EE3Z50RD055V Energy Smart Electric Water Heater Review Summary

Hot water is essential and the Whirlpool Energy Smart Electric Water Heater is a very good hot water heater that many have found to their liking. Reviewers like the large, fifty gallon capacity of this water heater and they also like the control panel and the fast recovery. Whirlpool Energy Smart Electric Water Heater is rated well by some, but not by others, as evidenced by comments that range from “Worth the Extra Cost”, to “Whirlpool EE3Z50RD055V Only Lasted Five Years, Lower Element Dead in Two Years”. The requirement of a 30- amp circuit and the problems with the heating element are listed among the reasons to not like this hot water heater. So, with all things considered, the Whirlpool Energy Smart Electric Water Heater ranks as an average Plumbing/ Appliance with a balance between good and bad points.

The upper element burned out in 2008. It popped my breaker constantly. The breaker ended up getting ruined. ... review »

The whirlpool 9 year guaranty 50 gallon electric water heater is great. This unit remembers how and when you use hot water. With this knowledge it does not heat until just before you usually use hot water. This is a real cost in electricity saver. It expells very little heat outside of unit. It was very easy to install. Whirlpool is a very trusted band, and very pleased that I decided to choose the Whirpool water heater. We uses a lot of hot water, and we never run out of hot water. When we first installed it , the water heated up very fast.
