The Kenmore 80 gal. electric water heater has easy installation. February 02, 2011
This water heater was easy to install. I previously had a 40 gal. water heater for a household of 9 people, including 2 teenage girls. Needless to say we needed a larger hot water tank. We found the Kenmore to have a better price and better warranty than the 2 other brands we looked into. I've never installed a water heater and I'm nowhere close to being a plumber or electrician. However, with the owners manual in hand and a bag full of tools I was ready for the task. With a little preparation beforehand, the entire process only took about 1 hour 45 minutes and within 2 hours from that we had hot water. The manual was very helpful and easy to understand, it had everything I needed. The water heater has been in for 2 weeks now and my wife and teenage girls think I'm a ROCKSTAR!!! No more fighting to be first in the shower in order to get the hot water. Now I have a new peace throughout the house. Isn't it amazing what a simple little thing like hot water can do? I only had 1 problem with this experience. The first water heater I received was damaged on the top and I had to take it back to the store. However, I was given a new water heater with no questions asked and an apology for the inconveinience. I guess even the bad experience was a good one in the end.

Problematic- required several service calls and replacement November 14, 2009
We purchased this model in Oct 2004 believing we were getting the best but have been dissappointed by several problems. Five years later, we're now replacing the unit. The first service repair within the first 3 years when the emergency shut off "feature" kept tripping turning off the heater. Sears service replaced the upper thermostat at our expense since none covered in warranty. Last week (Nov 2009) we just happened to notice the tank was leaking rust colored water from the lower access panel, and the wall behind the water heater was moldy and has been wicking the water for who knows how long. Not good! Sears service responded quickly to our home within 24 hours but the serviceman looked at the tank and immediately said it couldn't be repaired. When scheduling the service call, Sears quoted us $70 over the phone for the service call, but when the serviceman was preparing to leave, he asked for $132 (for the 5 minutes he was at our house). When I told him that we were quoted $70, he said okay, I'll take $70. He then called back to Sears to report his diagnosis. It took Sears another full day to "process" the problem. Sears called us and said they would replace the tank. It would cost $329.95 to install the new tank (installation costs for a replacement tank is not covered under warranty).

no where near 80 gals of hot water February 03, 2012
By rvm92
of Hamden, CT
Purchased thinking it was the best available......when hot water ran out after 1 5 minute shower,called for service.......serviceman ststed that the heater could be run at 110vac or 220vac,and that heater was set for 110vac......I later found this to be a lie as it is only able torun at 220vac.........sometimes the hot water lasts for 10 minutes before getting cold,but not very often.will let it sit for 2 hours before it will provide 1 more shower.......very disappointed with Sears/Kenmore.......never again!!!!

1 year in, good so far. January 31, 2012
By pellmellus
of Exton, PA
I installed this water heater myself using crimp style connections on year ago. The old 20 year old heater (still working when I replaced) was soldered, I simply cut the old connections and used the old wiring as well. Overall, an easy install. Heater gives you the option to only connect two of the three electrical connections to save on energy use, but I found that you need to run at full 240V for effective recovery. So far the heater is working fine. Hopefully it will last at least 12 years total.

Not energy efficient and not 80 gallons of hot water December 15, 2011
By PELAW
of Charlottesville, VA
This is without a doubt the worst house utility purchase I have ever made. Our old 50 gallon propane water heater gave up the ghost about 2 years ago. We have an 80 gallon jacuzzi which we could never fill with hot water from the old water heater. For that reason and because propane costs had risen so much, we decided to add 230V electrical wiring and buy this water heater from Sears. We had the electrician put in the jumper that permits fast hot water recovery. First, my guess is that the energy efficiency rating for this water heater probably comes only when set at the lowest 120 degree setting which is barely luke warm. Second, we get nowhere near a full jacuzzi tub full of hot water even after turning the two thermostats in this thing to 150 degrees and waiting an hour to make sure it is heating properly. The initial investment in the electrical and cost of this hot water heater is the only reason that we haven't thrown it away. When it breaks, it's gone and we go back to propane - maybe with a Rennai heater altho that requires a larger diameter gas line (buyer beware). I would never recommend this water heater

Same day service is a lie! Horrible service! December 02, 2011
By AngryAkronCustomer
of Doylestown, OH
We had our water tank fail one evening and found this model and line and our local strore had it in stock! We ordered it the nex morning and paid for the heater and install in full by credit card at 9:30 am and we were told we would be installed sometime that afternoon and that we would get a phone call by 12 noon. By 1:30 pm we still hadn't heard from Sears and my wife called to inquire. We were told that the incompetent customer service rep NEVER processed our order and further more, even though our tank was in stock and paid in full, we wouldnt be installed for another 5 days as they were "busy"! We were obviously outraged and called numerous times to get this resolved, including a call to the Sears corporate office to let them know we were mishandled and misled. Their own website states "Same day install if ordered by noon". Furthermore, we didnt call on a weekend or a holiday, we called on Wed. Nov. 30th.! The "best" answer my wife was given was that they were sorry we felt upset and were giving us a refund on our credit card to cancel the order. They obviously dont care about their reputation or lack of customer service. So, do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere to avid this Sears headache!
