What it delivers
The Rheem PROE2 1 RH MT 2.5-Gallon Mini-Tank Water Heater is a mini-tank heater holding 2.5 gallons, rated at 1.4 kW on 120 volts.
Small tanks like this serve one sink or a wet bar: hot water on demand from storage, reheated between uses.
At 120 volts it plugs into or wires to an ordinary household circuit, which is why mini tanks are a common retrofit.
Also on the listing: material: Steel, Glass; model: PROE2 1 RH MT.
The listing gives a weight of 17.6 lb and t&p valve; wall bracket in the box.
