    Kenmore 55 gal electic water heater January 27, 2012
    By 106Swee of Cibolo, TX

    Installed the water heater and it did not work.  Tried every thing possible to figure out if I installed it wrong before calling Sears to send out a service tech.  Well they sent out a tech and he discovered that both of the elements were bad.  BRAND NEW WATER HEATER!!  Go figure.  Needless to say, they did not charge us for the call!!  :)  It's been working great ever since!!

    Kenmore 55 gal tall electric water heater - is efficient December 02, 2011
    By stormsreturn of Summerville, SC
    Pros:
    efficient
    Cons:
    none

    my father recently purchased a walk in tub.  His previous 40 gal, 5 yr old, electric water heater, could not keep up.  He picked out this 55 gal Kenmore and let's just say, size does matter.  He can now fill the tub to within 2 inches from the very top with hot water and be able to enjoy  the tub's jets.  Sears seriously messed up with the delivery and installation process, but that's a whole other issue.

    By drader1 of Natural Bridge Station, VA
    Pros:
    Works very well and quiet
    Cons:
    none

    Do not know why I did not buy this water heater before.  It's ease of installation and excellent reference should have made me buy this heater last year.  It only took me 25 minutes to completely install and has performed flawlessly.  thank you Sears.  p.s. in store pick up took two minutes.  great
