Ruud Professional Achiever Power Vent 40-Gallon Natural Gas Water Heater Review
The Ruud Professional Achiever Power Vent 40-Gallon Natural Gas is Rheem's plumber-channel power-vented 40-gallon gas tank. Smaller-capacity sibling of the Achiever Power Vent 50-Gallon.
Specs: 40,000 BTU input, UEF 0.66, 70-gallon FHR, 6-year tank and parts warranty. Side-wall PVC power-vent venting. Electronic ignition.
The 40-gallon power-vent configuration serves smaller households needing power-vent install (no chimney access) at smaller capacity than the 50-gallon. About $799 plumber-channel pricing, $1,650 plumber-installed including venting work.
For DIY purchases through Home Depot, the Rheem Performance Power Vent 40-gal is the equivalent product.
Pros
- Natural gas combustion — faster recovery than electric resistance at comparable tank size
Cons
- 6-year warranty — below the 8–12 year average for premium models in this class
