    Kenmore 50 gal. Gas water heater puts out plenty of hot water. February 08, 2012

    This water heater really does the job.  The internal thermostat does seem very sensitive and turns on the burner after only a gallon of use, but then my old one was very slow to respond so this may not be an accurate opinion.  However, the burner does fire up for the appropriate amount of water used and doesn't seem to take long to bring the tank back to normal temps.  I installed it myself after balking at the $309 charge for Sears to do it.  In my case, it went in with no problems.  Overall, this is a good water heater that is manufactured by A. O. Smith - a dependable name in the water heater industry.

    Kenmore 50 Gal. Gas Water Heater April 18, 2012

    Called to check on prices and installation, thought about the pricing and called back, bought the unit after going the the same questions and answers, Sears asked for where the heater was located. I told them it was on the second floor in a closet. Installer showed up late the next day did not have the unit and wanted $500 more for Installation. Sears is scamming on install and training employees in deceitful sales tactics. Sears says they are going to give a full refund.

    Hot Water! April 09, 2012

    I just go this new water heater this past Thursday. It works great so far, the water is extremely hot and family are happy. I should have paid attention to the diameter dimension though it was really close to the gas tube almost touching. The installer was great.
