Bought this one because I needed to use my Sears card & it was the only electric water heater they had in stock....

Sue1 says "Leaky, poorly made, should be taken off the market by Sears" about Kenmore 40 gal. Tall Electric Water Heater (32946)

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.

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...

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....

I have well water with a water purifier and the tank is leaking after 6 yrs after the first one was replaced due to the same reason, two tanks leaking after 6 years. Maybe they should call it power miser 6. They did replace the first one and only charged me for the labor which was as much as the heater being I can put it in myself I didn't save any money just my time....

VooVoo says "nice but low temps" about Kenmore 40 gal. Tall Electric Water Heater (32946)

We just purchased our new Sears waster heater and the installation was pretty straight forward. The only complaint I have is the temp of the water doesn't seem to be all that hot. I can keep my hand under the water without discomfort. It is hot but no where near as hot as the previous water heater. I can find nothing on the output temps so I am curious if this is rated as an energy saving water heater by turning the temp down....
