An ordinary Duracled electric water heater produced by A.O. Smith in 1946 has been tested by time and has created an industry myth that has been used for 52 years. Although this is only a very occasional exception, it is also a testament to the high quality of the company's products.
 
A.O. Smith has been involved in the production of water heaters since 1936, and in the same year he obtained a patent for the technology of the Gimpyu coated liner, which is still used in its electric water heater products. Consumer Reports listed A.O. Smith as one of the top five brands to recommend. In 2015, A.O. Smith ranked first in the industry in terms of sales in the Chinese market, and was in an absolute leading position in the mid-to-high-end market.
 
A.O. Smith has many products, and the price is generally more than 2,000 yuan. Typical series include the basic F0, F1, and F2 series, the EVT1 series, which has excellent antibacterial properties, and the highly intelligent EWH-E10 and EWH-H10 series. All products are the most energy-efficient Level 1 energy consumption.
 
A.O. Smith's basic products are very solid, such as the F0 product, which has multi-power rapid heating technology, which can switch between high-power rapid heating and low-power heating. In addition to the anti-corrosion ability of other brands, the unique Jingui liner coating can also play an antibacterial role in the gallbladder. Certified by the China Quality Certification Center, the coating has an antibacterial rate of up to 99.99%. Among the basic products of many brands, the basic model of A.O. Smith has outstanding functions, and the price is about 1900 yuan.
 
The SCE series is a unique series of products from A.O. Smith. For many old houses, demolition houses or township self-built houses, the ground wire is often missing, and in daily life, the circuit is aging, and the water ingress into the line may cause leakage, and there is no ground wire to release the current, which will increase the hidden danger of electric shock. The SCE series adopts the unique patented technology of the groundless safety insulation system, which is specially designed for houses with ground wire failure, and the price is about 2100 yuan, and other brands have not launched similar products.
 
EWH-60H10 is A.O. Smith's flagship product, priced at 8348 yuan, in addition to the basic functions readily available, this product is very small, the body is only 28cm thick. This slim design is due to the product's unique vacuum insulation technology. All other products on the market use polyurethane insulation, which is cheaper to manufacture and requires increasing the thickness of the insulation to reduce heat conduction. The vacuum insulation technology of EWH-60H10 products is similar to the inner tank of a hot water kettle, which is extremely difficult and costly to apply in water heaters.
 
A.O. Smith, as a brand with a high price, although it only has a three-year warranty and after-sales service is not as good as that of Haiermei and other brands, it attaches great importance to research and development.
