    Kenmore 55 gal Water Heater- So far so good... February 25, 2011

    I purchased the tank for a GREAT price: less than $410 WITH tax- being a Sears cardholder helped a bunch! For now it works great. The water stays hot for the entire duration of my showers (sometimes 16 minutes or longer!!). Actually, a few Sunday's ago I washed a couple loads of laundry, ran the dishwasher, and took and shower in about a 3 to 4 hour span. Guess what? There was steam coming from all the faucets!! That would have never occured with my old tank!

    The salesperson informed me that the Kenmore tank has a perpetual spiraling apparatus that eliminates any sediment from building up, which can decrease the tank's productivity and increase its power usage. I opted for the 12 year warranty because I want this to be the first and last tank I purchase for my home. So check back in 2023 to see how it worked out ;-)!!

    Power Miser 12 55 gal. Hot water heater is a disappointment. June 18, 2010

    We bought our home in 2002, the previous owners had purchased a new water heater from Sears in 1999.  It was also a Kenmore Power Miser but in 2006 it began leaking and flooded our master closet and garage.  We had Sears come out and we were happy to learn that the tank had been under warranty and it cost us $300.00 to have a new one installed.  At that time we thought we had gotten off rather reasonably.  However three and a half years later, another leaking tank and this time it cost us $375.00.  New they are on sale for $430.00 with the same warranty.  It makes me think Sears/Kenmore have figured it out that by selling them for under $500.00 they will make more than that in the 12 years they warranty the unit.  Seems to me there is a problem with the tanks and they don't seem to want to investigate how to improve it.  We need a new softner but I have decided not to take the chance with Sears.

    Kenmore 55 Gal. Water Heater January 19, 2012
    By rho01021944 of South Easton, MA
    Pros:
    Excellent,A HOTTIE

    I purchased this unit 6 years ago and have always been happy with the amount of hot water it delivers. Recently the hot water decreased and I called Sears to report the problem since it was still under warranty (12 Years Limited Parts and Labor). Sears gave me an appointment within 3 days, and the technician came (at the end of the appointment time). He diagnosed the problem and made the repairs. The thermostats needed to be replaced. It cost me less than $150.00 (Parts and Labor) and I now have volumes of hot water again. I recommend this water heater.

    Do Not Buy December 28, 2011
    By bucksmom of Nelsonville, OH

    Purchased this water heater in April 2005.  Have had nothing but problems.  Yesterday woke up to find it leaking all over master closet and bedroon floor. Of course Sears hot line was not open because it was the day after Christmas. When we contacted them today, we were told it would be several days before a tech could come out to check the tank at a cost to us of $75.  If they determine that it is indeed the tank leaking (duh!!) they will order a replacement for us but it could take a couple of weeks to get.  The 12 year warranty isn't worth the paper it is written on.  Don't waste your money on this heater.

    The best part of any hot water heater is that it works as it is supposed to once installed. This Kenmore 55 gal. Tall Electric Hot Water Heater (32154) did just that. Not more hot water shortages here anymore.

    Our hotwater heater works wonderfully. May 13, 2011
    By boonekids of Boone, NC
    Pros:
    works when new,Excellent

    We've had the 55 gallon hot water heater for 3 weeks now and have had no trouble. Our furnace system for heating water was blocked, so we were getting no hot water pressure. I am pleased with the water pressure all over the house. Even in the furthest bathroom from the heater, hot water comes in a matter of seconds.

    I'm also pleased with the consistency of the temperature of the water. The temperature remains constant. Previously we had spikes of super hot water. These spikes were not good for my preschool children. I am very satisfied with our purchase.
