water heater
Water heats efficiently and quickly. It holds plenty of water for a 2-3 person household. You will still need to flush the water heater every year. I had to replace the bottom element due to sediment 2 years after purchase.

Energy efficient, easy to store, and no problems.

I purchased this Kenmore electric hot water heater 4 years ago and I've never had a problem with it to date.  The water is nice and hot when on demand and never fails to work.  Very energy efficient and I wrap insulation around it for our bitter cold North Dakota winters.  Kenmore is a trusted brand and I intend on purchasing a Kenmore propane hot water heater for our travel trailer.  Won't ever hesitate to  purchase the Kenmore brand.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Excellent Product

We had a Bosch on demand hot water heater which we loved, until it stopped working.......couldn't not get a a repair who knew anything about it and the Bosch tech support wasn't great. So off to Sear we went. This 40 gallon unit works well for our family of five.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

The Kenmore hot water heater (32144) is well worth the price.

This is my second water heater of this model. I live in an area with very hard water and water heaters typically only last about 5 years due to corrosion of the tank. The first water heater failed to heat the water after about 5 years due to my own error... One of the plumbing fittings above the heater leaked and messed up the thermostatic controls. I bought another to replace it since I figured the tank was probably about used up anyway. Out of curiosity, I cut up the old water heater tank for inspection. It was perfect, no deterioration at all. I expect the new water heater to last much longer if I can manage to keep my plumbing from leaking.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

kenmore 40 gal tall electic hot water heater is good

this is sears gone crazy giving a chance to WIN just click to spin but first you have to write a REVIEW of a product? What is our country coming to? How much does sears charge for delivery in your area? It cost me $100 for delivery of a $300 water heater, not to mention if they have to haul it away for you.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Not worth your money!!

This water heater seemed to work excellent for almost 3 years. (August 07 - July 2010) It started to leak from the top inlet fitting and needed to be replaced. Rather then buy a quality brand, I called Sears because I have 9 years remaining on the warranty. They are charging me $75 to have someone come to my home and tell me that it can't be repaired (that's why I called them). Now they want to charge to install a new one and extra to haul the junk one away. If I did this to my customers my business would be out-of-business.

Lasted 4 years and offerd $80 to replace

I purchased a Power Miser 12 in February of 2004 and in May of 2008 it started to leak from under the top cover. I am being told by Sears in Nashua NH that I have to pay for a sersvice person to condemn the unit and that they would cover $80 to purchase a new unit and for a person to install a new unit.

The more money, the more disappointment.

It lasted thirteen months. Came home to find water everywhere; water pouring out through the top. Should have bought cheaper, wouldn't have been quite so disappointed.
