I wasn’t satisfied with the performance either. Checked sparkplug and will be replacing for peak efficiency:

That's a good thing about that dinosaur technology in that, easy to work on! How many miles you got on her now?
Well.. wfh today thanks to the snow. About 1”-2” on the ground. Went down to my office to work and there is water streaming from the bottom of the hot water heater. It’s 3 months outside of the 5 yr warranty of course. So drained it and starting to disconnect it. I could do this install myself but I Called a couple plumbers too see the cost because I’m not in the mood for this shit and I’m already working on the laundry room.
Also just realized this fucker will be a pain to get out of the basement. Uuugh. my dad is too damn old to help move this thing and my most everyone is over an hour away. BIL is like 20 mins away and dude works out but is too neat freak prissy to get dirty and don’t want to deal with his ass.

Mchenry..
wife called HD to get a quote and it was $2600. ? I called a couple local plumbers to see the cost. Really Leary of HD installers because they will require BS upgrades and safety shit extreme. Local guys will not give a fuck.
Gotta be someone out that way to toss you a hand if you do it yourself.
Yeah it’s been draining with the pressure valve open. We have a scrapper guy that I’ll have to talk to. He will probably take it out of the basement. I got a bunch of shit for him.
Fuck that gravity helps get a new one down into the basement and I'd just leave the old one there until I could get help getting it out.
Wife is insisting on having HD do it because she will open a man HD card with the 0% interest on this. Just when I can see the light at the end of the tunnel from the sewer pipe collapse we get into this. Ohh well. We shall see how many safety upgrades will be required for this shit.
There are some old asbestos tiles on the ceiling about 5ft away I need to get rid of. Guessing they will shit bricks immediately and refuse install but I’ll make sure they bring the new one downstairs before they leave.

Isn't $2600 super expensive for a hot water heater? I thought most 55 gal ones are $800ish
Normal ones are, but if you have a power vent setup, they're pricey as fuck.
Also this has the power vent thing too. There is no good way to exhaust it any way else because of the location..

I know modern appliances suck but god damn, total failure after 5 years is a hard pill to swallow
Stay away from Rheem
Pewter-Camaro apparently anything made by them in the last 7-8 years is absolute trash.

On a 40fr shallow well. just a sediment filter then into a softener so it’s hard water. I checked all the original install documents the old lady had and there is no anode or anything in this so not surprised it went to shit. The “plumber” she used believed rubber connectors on everything was quality work… lol
