No, there is not, and will not be, at least through 2013. We don't have enough traffic for such a thread to have a reliable sample of responses. Also many of the people who do want to post reviews are venting because they are angry about various failures, some of which are their own fault. Until I can figure out how to have such a thread exist AND provide reasonably reliable info, there will not be any here.

I can tell you that I, and others, have had good experiences with the most recent versions of Hayward's heater. That's not saying they are better; only that they have worked well for us.
