My 6 gallone water heater My GE 6 gallon, 2000 watt, 120 volt, water heater I bought in 2010 off CL for $42.
It has worked all this time with the same element. I have it connected with washing machine hoses and the heavy cord from an old large copy machine. I like the portability of it so it's easy enough to empty, lift, and shake the sediment particles out that most water heaters tend to accumulate. Keeping the bottom clean from build up is one key to long life.
I have it plugged into a timer controlled 20 amp outlet. I turn on the switch about 10-15 minutes before I know I'll need a large volume of warm or hot water such as for a shower or doing laundry. It's never disappointed. And so efficient.
These days the day time temp is 80-100 degrees and I can usually go a couple of days now with out turning it on at all. No money wasted on excess water heating OR the Air conditioner running longer because of that excess water heater created heat. | ||

I was reading recently that I can take the dump load from a solar panel charge controller and connect it to the element and have the equivalent of 200 watts of free heat for it.

I was running some garbage down the disposal today and my instant read thermometer was handy so I checked the temp of the water. It was a bit warmer than I expected at 66 degrees, felt colder than that. | ||
