Five years is more than enough for it, it was installed in 2012, and in 8 years it developed a hole and I have to add water up to the waterline, until it bursts.

I bought it in 2008 and it broke in 2021-2022. At the beginning, it was leaking a lot. I serviced it every year, changed the anode and gasket, and replaced the heating element 3 times. I believe it didn't justify its cost

It broke after 9 years even though I had it serviced every 2 years. I regret the money I spent, my company told me that their lifespan is 10-15 years, so it's normal, they said, and that I am at the lowest end of the normal range

I had bought a 200-liter and a 160-liter one. The 200-liter one leaked after 5 years and the 160-liter one leaked after 9 years. Never again
