I agree....I've had good luck with AO Smith and State....I have had an Indirect water heater (made by Dunkirk) since 2009....no problems and more efficient....it may take 20 or 30 seconds longer for hot water in summer (because the heat isn't 'ON'...it's quick in winter). I like it.
PS: I can't get over how much 'water heaters' have gone up in the last decade or more....
