Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Excellent Performance

JasonE1977 9/19/2025

The performance of this water heater is extraordinary compared to our old (different brand) water heater. The GE has plenty of hot water storage and maintains hot water during periods of high demand. Highly recommend this GE water heater for anyone that uses hot water in great demand.

Leaking from factory element

Dont buy from Nebraska FM 8/14/2025

Hot water was delivered at 8 am by Nebraska Furniture Mart. I had a plumber install it at 2 pm only to discover it was leaking at the factory element. I called NFM only to be told to call GE.

No horn to toot for the GE GE50T10BAM water heater

MJOutdoors 3/20/2024

Installed this water heater in early Feb 2024. My water heater service provider just started selling and installing this electric GE 50 gal water heater so they had no customer feedback on its reliability, performance, etc. I decided to take a chance on it because of the 10 year warranty and so far I am not impressed.. I have the temperature now set at 130F--started at 120F, then 125F-- and it still doesn't provide real hot water. I am going to bump it up to 135F and see if there's an improvement. It also seems to take longer to get hot water at the faucets compared to our old one. Also, going to call my water heater provider and give him feedback that it is a so-so water heater.

Great No Nonsense Water Heater

jem512 3/19/2024

After reading reviews for other brands we decided to go with a simple Hot Water Heater without the Bluetooth bells and whistles. We installed the Water Heater about 2 weeks ago, so far it is working perfectly, no issues. We are a household of 7 and this Water Heater has no problem accommodating the amount of showers daily.

CacyeH 2/19/2024

Very nice how GE included all of the external fittings and electrical connectors required for installing this Hot water tank. Planning for and installation was so much easier. Very simple, easily read instructions with illustrations. Just installed today but we had hot water in no time and hopefully we're as pleased with this purchase as we have been with several other GE appliances as we upgrade.

Terrible Product

Wedowee Dam 1/18/2023

Constant issues with consistent water temperatures. Once adjusted, I have to have the elements adjusted to a higher temp that seems unsafe, but the water is at a decent temp.

GE makes the BEST!

Tvon5432 10/31/2021

My 15 year old GE water tank randomly broke 2 weeks ago thanks to my old pipes in my historic house. I searched to purchase a new one online but reviews were horrible for the ones at the big department stores. Disappointingly, Home Depot, nor Lowes no longer carries GE electric water tanks, so I came across this 50 gallon GE electric tank on the Total Home Supply Store website for roughly $600. And the best part of it was that I was able to use the service "Affirm" and am paying monthly payments for it until it's paid off. Being a single mother whose financially struggling to keep up, this was literally a god send! My tank was delivered in one week and I had a friend set it up for me. The hardest part was just draining out the old tank, which wasn't hard at all, just time consuming. This new GE tank is actually bigger then my old one too, the connections are so simple that anyone can figure them out. I'm hoping to get a good 10-15 years out of this one. We shall see! Best part of it all though, I finally have HOT water again! Haha. A BIG Thanks to GE for all the reliable appliances you've provided my family throughout the years. Being born and raised in Boston, Mass I can say that GE is a company I feel proud to stand behind and will never purchase a different brand of appliances!
