Kenmore 50 gal. Water Heater — 

Purchased the Kenmore hydrosense water heater to replace a 15 year old "10 Series", which they don't make anymore. We just had it installed a few days ago, so I can't comment on the longevity of the water heater. I was concerned about the installation because of the many comments on this site, but it went smoothly and quickly. Bought the water heater at the Sears at Landmark Mall in Northern Virginia. Sales people were very helpful and answered my questions. The installers were very helpful and polite--no extra charges (I was a bit concerned because the salesperson gave me a 'look' that if there were any major issues in the installation that I could expect some charges.) Ours was a straight remove and install, as the old and new water heater are very close in size. I think because of the area, contractors covet a steady supply of work from Sears and do their best. We had a washer/dryer serviced with great success. We bought our dishwasher, dryer, washing machine, and now water heater from Sears with no problems from either the products or installation. Water heater works great-lots of hot water. This is at a 125 degree setting. (The installers initially set the thermostat to a 120 degrees but my son likes HOT showers). As a test, we filled a bathtub, ran the dishwasher, and my son was ten minutes into his shower before running out of hot water, so I would say a pretty good job of keeping up all things considered. As a comparison, the previous 50 gallon water heater you could only take a bath or shower, not both at the same time--let alone throwing in the dishwasher on top of it. Will update if we run into any problems. Again, we've only had the water heater for a few days now but are very happy with the purchase. Install was roughly $250, with a $35 rebate. So after taxes, etc, around $800 total. I would recommend the product and service.
