I've had one since 2022. If your alternative is a regular resistance electric heater, there's no downside to getting this. Best case it uses 1/4 of the electricity as a heat pump. Worst case, it uses resistive heating and is the exact same as a regular electric water heater.
They are louder, as it requires a fan to move the air and transfer heat. It cools and dehumidifies the surrounding area, but I use it in a northern climate and it's great (super beneficial in humid summer, but not too bad during dry winter). It's about 3-5 degrees colder in the 15x8 utility room if the door is shut. Maybe 1-2 degrees colder if the door is left open.
Setup requires a condensate drain line, but otherwise it uses the same hookups (30A 240V) as a regular electric water heater so it's super easy to install

Installed this model DIY in May 2022 and it has been great on energy savings versus regular electric heater.
I have had to replace the thermistors 2x at this point though and all savings would have been lost if I was not able to do this work myself. All parts are free from Rheem for 10 years and their troubleshooting support is great so if you have a digital multimeter and are willing to watch some youtube videos this unit should be a good choice.
You can also just opt to not use the heat pump if anything goes wrong with that part of the heater.

I am getting one. Our gas heater is great but the cost just for service is $37.00 month - $444 a year not including the gas cost. In 2 year pays for itself. Electrical install not included - in my case right next to breaker box and ac drain.
Im curious...what service does the gas heater require? Is that municipal code that requires it.

Bought one 4 years ago, I have exceptionally hard water, I'm on my third unit as a result, but hopefully with a new water softener it'll last this time. Pros: They have excellent tech support/warranty, use a fraction of electricity of a regular coil water heater. Versus a regular water heater, at this price, it'll pay for itself in the first year or two. Cons: Slow recovery time on heat pump mode, they don't tell you, but replacing the anode rod is paramount to reliability, and it's kind of a pain. You also need to be willing to be a little handy and replace things like anode rods, or an occasional thermistor that dies and needs to be replaced (it's like a $10 sensor), calling out a plumber for that stuff would cost a fortune.
Sounds like more trouble than it's worth

Same question. I have had gas heater for year and only paid for gas.

On a related note. I pay about $30/month just for this (I don't use furnace nor fireplace). Does this electric one uses $30/month. Vague question I know, as it depends on usage and electric cost, but I'm just trying to justify the switch.

Your math isn't mathing. What does this run on, hopes and dreams? Have to factor in the electricity costs. Is electricity cheap where you are? If it isn't, this may not ever pay for itself. 🤷

Service??? You only need to flush it once a yr. What else are they doing to it? You are being ripped off.

Interesting. Do you just take the top cover off and get to it that way? I've had one a little over a year and just kind of assumed it wasn't possible to change the anode rod on these.

You want fhe one without the leak detector as it will falsely shut down the unit.. I'm surprised menards gets these as they were a home depot carried brand. Menards normally carriers seconds or out of production stuff. Im sure the Menards lovers will come in bashing its the truth, take it or leave it.
Menards usually carries the Richmond brand, which is just rebranded Rheem.

Have a Bradford White model for +3 years and these heat pump water heaters are so loud, just waiting/hoping for mine to die so I can go back to a gas water heater.

Had one for 2.5 years, no problems at all. Family of 3. Love being able to change settings and modes on the app. Purchased from Home Depot.

I know they're not silent, and it will make the room colder as well. This could be an issue in the winter for any shared/nearby spaces.

Review of an older model and mentions some noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybED3-Tz8Nk

Mine is in the garage and we do not hear it inside the house. It does keep the garage cooler in the summer, but a bit cold in the winter. It's noise level when running is like a small fan on medium.

Great tip (avoid leak detector model) and this is a great price; too bad I am not in Menard's area.
I have had the leak detector one for 2.5 years. It went off 2x in the beginning and I noticed there was some water on the floor of the garage, so it was working. Turned out the pressure relief valve was leaking, so I replaced it. No problem since.
