Excellent Water heater choice November 06, 2008
This is my 3rd Sears water heater over the last 26 years. This time I cut down the size from 60 to forty gallons. Sears is an excellent company to deal with even when it comes to warranty issues!! I highlt recommend Sears Water heaters. Even with a smaller 40 gallon tank we never run out of hot water.

Leaky, poorly made, should be taken off the market by Sears April 27, 2010
I have a Kenmore Power Miser 9. Model # 153.32946, if you are looking for a hot water heater, run quickly in the opposite direction if anyone tries to sell you one of these. Sears, shame on you for keeping it in stock. It leaks and will not give hot water. I am very disappointed and will NEVER purchase another water heater from Sears and will not recommend them to friends or enemies.

warranty consciousBeware Your warranty may be useless July 13, 2009
By JDC

I have a Kenmore Power Miser 9. Model # 153.32946 Serial # G04136386. I purchased the original unit in Nov. of 2003. I replaced it due to leaking in Jan 2005. In 2005, Sears was superb in honoring the warranty. Today the unit I have started leaking. I called the retail store I have frequented first and was told I need to call the "water hot line" 1-800-469-4663. I did and got another number to call. I then called the service # 1-800-251-5630. I was told that it will cost me $75 to have someone come out to tell me it is leaking. (MMMM I think I know that due to the water all over the floor) Then they tell me the technician can only come 9 days from now. You tell me if this is an honorable practise of servicing a warranty. I told the individual on the phone that this was unacceptable. I asked to speak with his manager. After several minutes of waiting he came back on and said he tried to get the service tech to do an emergency call. Since the tech had gone home already, I need to call tomorrow and see what can be done. Stay tuned for an update! Until then don't bet on your warranty being worth anything.
