I'm nowhere near as cold as MN, but my heat pump does a great job until around 20 degrees. But I also have a wood stove which I use on those cold days. Plus it's also an air conditioner.

One advantage of heat pump water heaters I haven't seen is that they chill the room their in pretty considerably. This is great for storing wine and root vegetables.
