Marathon MR85238
The MR85238 features 3800w elements and a tank capacity of 85 gallons. This model is perfect for a family of 6 to 7 with normal hot water demands.
The lower wattage elements of the MR85238 make it a perfect fit for older homes with smaller electrical panels. The lower wattage elements do NOT affect the efficiency of the heater. Recovery times are just a little slower then its 4500w siblings.
If you have a newer home with larger electrical capacity you may want to look at the MR85245
