I replaced it with a hybrid 50 gallon; it's much lighter.

The 50 gallon is only 63 pounds lighter than the 80 (281 vs 218 for Rheem). Still a two person job with stairs.

Nice!! How many years did your 80 last? The 50 I helped install is about 6 years old now and problem free so far.

About 11 years. It has two fault codes: one for low coolant pressure and another one for failed upper element (which i could not budge).
