Home DepotDeal Details
I just purchased this water heater, normally $1299, for $799 + tax + $75 shipping.
https://www.homedepot.c
Steps to get deal:
1) Go to above link
2) Change store to zip code 15010(Edit: use Zip 97322 for $699 instead of $799)
3) Select Ship to Home (unless you happen to live close to this store), add to cart.
4) Check out.
Additional notes:
1) Federal tax credit of $300. State tax credits vary, in my home state we get an additional $400 (bringing this heater down to $99 + $75 shipping + tax).
2) For many/most, the $75 shipping is worth it even if you can get this price locally as these heaters are quite heavy and supposedly must be transported vertically.
3) Do your homework on these hybrid heaters before purchasing. You need 220V to operate. Installation expense is generally much higher with hybrid electric vs standard electric resistance heaters and gas heaters. Hot water recovery is very slow (but you can switch to standard electric mode for rapid recovery when you know your usage will be high, e.g. having company over). They can apparently be loud, so if this will be located close to a bedroom, important to think about. There are important climate and installation location factors to consider--just google.
4) The newest generation of this series from Rheem, called "Proterra" can be had for $1269, a slight discount compared to full price (15% for my location). After carefully examining specs, photos, etc - it seems that the only difference with the Proterra series is built-in leak detection with auto-shutoff. FYI if that feature is important to you, you can add it for $219:

5) This is for 50 gallon. Looks like if you need 65 gal or 80 gal, the Proterra is actually on sale (whereas the Performance Platinum is full price), making the Proterra cheaper.

Quote from ragt0p :
Just an FYI, if you have the space, then do not replace your HW heater, instead place the new heater in-line with your existing HW heater. So street water goes to your old tank, and your new HW heater is fed from your old tank. This way your existing HW heater works as a water tank using room temperature to heat street water. Street water from your pipes is about 50 degrees (in Northeast) & old tank then heats it to about room temperature. Thus your new heater will be heating up room temperature water instead of heating 50 degree water. This works best if you can also remove the insulation from your old heater

Also based on how this works I probably won't need my dehumidifier in the basement anymore. I can't wait to see how much I save on my electric bill.
I checked out if any are left this morning it's all gone no shipping option again but at least I got mine.
I got mine at the Phoenix,Oregon store I suggest you guys keep checking throughout the day and in the middle of the night to see if any shipping is available check all of Oregon stores

For those who self-installed, just curious...
1. How did you move this thing around onto the drip pan? Brute force or had a buddy or made a ramp with some 2x4's?
2. How did you dispose of the old one? Own a pickup truck and took it to the dump or 1800GOTJUNK?
