“Kenmore 55 gal Water Heater- So far so good...”
I purchased the tank for a GREAT price: less than $410 WITH tax- being a Sears cardholder helped a bunch! For now it works great. The water stays hot for the entire duration of my showers (sometimes 16 minutes or longer!!). Actually, a few Sunday's ago I washed a couple loads of laundry, ran the dishwasher,...

It was also a Kenmore Power Miser but in 2006 it began leaking and flooded our master closet and garage. We had Sears come out and we were happy to learn that the tank had been under warranty and...

I installed it myself. Very easy to install and works fantastic.
Power Miser 12 Electric Hot Water Heater bought 2/06-could be worse from what I have read but both thermostats replaced yesterday by Sears for $137 Labor-luckily it had the 12 year parts warranty
Awaiting repair since the water heater never worked properly. Gives about 7-10 minutes of hot water then it's warm, then cold. Raised thermostats, but still runs out of hot water. Most likey, the lower element isn't working: tried both 3800 and 5500 watt modes--no difference. The element is actually upside-down, when matching it with the drawing in the instruction manual. Perhaps dip tube is broken or detached, mixing hot and cold water.
Fits in the space of my old, smaller one. Plenty of hot water! Outstanding warranty.
I purchased this the day after Thanksgiving in 2006 because my old one went out the day before. Worked wonderful until about a year ago. Now sometimes it will work great but other times it will not. The pilot keeps going out for a few weeks every few hours. Then it will work fine for a few months. I am extremely tired of taking cold showers. When I call Sears, they say they will send someone out to fix it but it will cost at least $75. What a joke! I have read many other complaints about this same problem with the Power Miser problem. Kenmore or Sears need to fix their ******...
read full review »I purchased this water heater in May 2004. It began leaking in September 2009. I was hoping for at least 10 years of usage with this unit. I'm disappointed and will look for a replacement that will not be a Kenmore. Appears they simply don't make them like they used to.
Update October 2009: I will now eat crow. I did end up replacing my bad water heater with the same Kenmore model (55 gal Power Miser 12).
As my previous post shows I was quite disappointed with the short life of my previous water heater. So, I did look around for other water heaters, I even looked at the new tankless models....

This is about the Sears 55 Water heater. I bought my home in 1980 and the water heater was there then. 30 years is a long time to have a water heater in place. I have enjoy hot water always, even when running more than one appliance( dish washer, washing machine).
i know someday soon i may have to replace this older model with a new one. when that times comes i intend to purchase from Sears another 55 model as it served me for this long i would hope the new one will do as well. Sorry Sears but you made this model i have without putting in the planned obsolesence.
