When run in heat pump mode, these are incredibly efficient. Just make sure you have enough open space around the water heater for it to operate as intended.
A really nice side benefit is that it dehumidifies the air. Mine is in a garage which used to get pretty hot in the summer. The cool air it produces and dehumidification made a world of difference to the garage environment. Will work wonders for a basement.
Mine is a 220 model but I know the mfr has introduced 110 volt versions now.
If you're at all hesitant, don't be. Just buy it. BTW, it has WiFi which allows you to maximize efficiency in accordance with your lifestyle.
If you have a family, you might want to do what I did last year. A 65 gallon model only costs about $100 more. After everyone's baths, etc. in the evening, the water heater can run in heat pump mode while everyone is asleep. By the time they wake up, there'll be a full tank of cheaply created hot water again. More efficient than using up 50 gallons and then have to run in conventional mode (typical heating rods) for the extra water.
Lest you have concerns about cold weather, be aware that ours ran in heat pump mode when temperatures outside were near zero.
Sadly, the water heater (gas) at my regular home just went out a few weeks ago and we had to get a replacement asap. We had to resort to a direct replacement because it was in stock. I'm kicking myself now. Paid $1550. No 30% tax savings. Nowhere near the efficiency (0.64 vs over 3.50).
Thanks for the heads-up!

I went with the 80 gallon to replace my traditional 50 gallon with a family of 5. With my emporia showing 20% of my electricity going to heat water this should pay for itself quickly.

To answer your question, think of recoupment in two timing aspects: near term and over time.
For the former, many electric utility companies offer rebates for the heat pump water heaters. My local utility provides about $300 or more in rebates. There's also a federal tax credit of 30% up to $2000. So you can get about $300 in a matter of a few weeks plus another $600 within the next 8-12 months. This almost wipes out the $1,000 difference.
However, the second aspect is even bigger. Hot water is the second biggest user of energy in homes (HVAC is #1). You will save a ton of money from day one until it's death if you run it in heat pump mode. It'll pay for itself in less than two years.
