Kenmore 55 gal. Tall Electric Water Heater (32154) —

I Have had this water heater installed for over three years now. I have found it to be a great unit for my 2k sq ft home with three baths. Recently it shined in our time of need. Where I live just suffered a tornado and our power has been off for three days. I am writing this review from work after I looked up the manual to find out Watt/Amp it needs so I can hook it into my generator. After three days with no power average outside temp around 65F. I had to take a shower and was dreading it for the fact it would be super cold. It was still so hot that I had to turn it down during my conservative shower. I am very pleased that it could hold the heat in that well and be there when I needed it most. ~Jeff
