Are the "big names" necessarily the best anyway? When I lived in
Brisbane, Australia, we had a locally made water heater with a 25-year
warranty (and I don't think it cost much more than a Rheem). One time I
was walking though a shopping mall and was accosted by a salesman at a
Rheem display, who asked me if I owned a home and how old the water
heater was. I told him how old the water heater was (probably 8 years or
more at the time), and he said, "Oh, then you'll be needing a new one
soon." When I told him that it was a Uscinski, he said, "Oh, well you
won't need a new one for a long time yet."

Weather King is Rheem's form of low end of equipment to compete with Goodman and other low end manufactors. Rheem and Ruud is better
equipment than Weather King , but all is made by the same manufactor.
