Kenmore 50 gal. Water Heater —
I bought this water heater to replace my 40 gallon heater. It came with the heat traps and includes a the water pipe insulation for the pipes that are coming out of the heater. The lighting of this heater was easy too. I like that this has a sealed burner chamber too. The air intake screen/filter is a lot easier than I thought as well. There is a plastic screen that clips to the front part underneath. It covers the air intake for the burner. It screens out lint and hair to keep the burner areas clean.
One thing to watch though is that the diameter of this unit is not correct on the website. It states it is 20" and it is actually 22" They have not updated the specs with the new dimensions. Energy requirements are stricter now and require thicker insualtion and make the tank fatter. The display in the store actually says to check the diameter as they have changed.
A very nice water heater. Pricey, but I try to buy the best of things if I can afford it and makes sense. This heater should last a long time.
