Worst was when Rheem approved exchange but Home Depot wouldn't honor exchange, that's after brought defective water heater back to customer service counter. Spend hours in a deadlock with Home Depot manager and Rheem on the phone with each other….
Now I got a dumb water heater
Leak sensor faulty-had to bypass to get unit to open valve and operate
Replaced heat pump temp sensor and still reports heat pump failures
Had do disconnect wifi , due to constant alarms
When heat pump ran-it was very loud
Overall junk and no rheem support
Certainly didn't save any on utility bills
When comparing ProTerra heat pump water heaters in 120V and 240V, the 120V models offer a simpler, plug-in installation, making them ideal for replacing gas units or upgrading to high efficiency without needing a 240V electrical upgrade. 240V models offer faster heating and potentially better performance in colder climates but require a more complex installation.
Here's a more detailed comparison:
120V ProTerra Plug-in Heat Pump Water Heaters:
Installation: Simpler, plug-in design; no need for 240V electrical work.
Ideal for: Drop-in gas unit replacement, high-efficiency upgrades without electrical panel upgrades.
Efficiency: Still highly efficient, offering up to 5x the efficiency of a standard gas water heater.
Models: Available in dedicated and shared circuit models.
Example: Rheem ProTerra Plug-in Heat Pump Water Heater with HydroBoost plugs into any standard 120V outlet.
240V ProTerra Heat Pump Water Heaters:
Installation: Requires 240V electrical service and potentially more complex installation.
Ideal for: Larger homes with high hot water demand, potentially better performance in colder climates.
Efficiency: Still highly efficient, but may require more electrical infrastructure.
Faster Heating: 240V resistive elements heat water faster than 120V.
Example: 240V models often have larger tank sizes and faster recovery times.

Winter not so much
I recently upgraded to an 80 gallon AO Smith hybrid unit and so far the elements have only kicked on when my son completely filled the 100+ gallon bathtub.
So far, I am pleased. My next step is to vent cold air below and draw in hot air from above. Waiting on the last bezel. Then I'll have to drain, turn, and possibly redo all the wiring and water connections to make room.

Different families have different water use habits. Some people take 5 minutes showers and others take 25 minute showers. If you are taking 25 minute shower multiplied by four family members, you may not have enough hot water from a unit this size. We take 5-10 minute showers and have seen zero problems.
When I had a resistive water heater it would run for maybe an hour a day. This unit runs for 4-5 hours BUT it uses so much less energy while running that it comes out ahead. It is in our basement and it certainly makes noise. We haven't had the failure issues that others have cited. Unclear if we got lucky or they just got unlucky. As i mentioned in another comment, it has already saved the price of the unit in energy here in central MA. If it broke tomorrow and I got no warranty, I would still be ahead. Obviously such an example is dependent on price of energy.
Biggest thing to be sure of when installing is that you have a proper condensate drain. It will make multiple gallons a day in the heat of the summer if your air is humid. We actually collect the condensate and water the fruit trees with it. Not really a tangible money savings there but it feels better than just dumping it.
