Bradford White Aero-Therm Lowboy 40-Gallon Electric Water Heater Review
The Bradford White Aero-Therm Lowboy 40-Gallon Electric is the lowboy form-factor variant of Bradford White's electric tanks. Designed for clearance-restricted installs where standard tank height doesn't fit.
Specs: 40 gallons stored, two 4500W heating elements, UEF 0.93, 52-gallon FHR, 6-year tank and parts warranty. Glass-lined steel tank with Vitraglas lining. Approximately 35" tall × 24" diameter.
The lowboy form factor fits: under-counter installs, basement crawlspaces, mobile home water heater compartments, low-ceiling utility rooms. Trade-off: wider footprint requires more horizontal floor space.
About $1,500 plumber-installed. Warranty requires professional installation. Right buyer: install scenario where standard 40-gallon electric tank dimensions don't fit, particularly mobile home or basement crawlspace applications wanting Bradford White's Vitraglas-lining advantage.
