Kenmore 55 gal. Tall Electric Water Heater (32656) Reviews
I purchased this water heater to replace the 50 Gal. version of it I had for over 10 years, I only got it because I was replacing the floor under it and figured for such a great price, I might as well get it.
I got the bigger version because of kids using the hot water in the morning, now I can take a hot shower too.
I also had great service when I made the call about a question I had.
Exceptional value for the price. We didn't have a lot of cash but needed a large capacity heater. This has fit the bill nicely. Plently of hot water! Seems to be very well constructed. Too early to tell on durability as it is brand new, but my initial reaction is that this is a fantastic buy. Very happy.
I feel I got a great deal on this water heater, and after running the numbers, couldn't justify a more expensive model. Spending substantially more up front didn't pay off until 7-8 years down the road at best. Higher priced models gave longer warranties...probably more of an advantage than the slight energy savings I could determine. We have had this for about 2 months now, and have left it at the 3800 watt factory setting without any lack of hot water.(this heater can be converted to 5200 watts)

I bought this water heater and installed it on 3-27-2010. Not very hard to install if you are a do it you self kind of person. Very impressed with the performance so far. Very quiet and reheats the water in a short period of time. After complete installation and letting the water be heated, I drained out the water heater after letting the tank run down to 87 degrees out of the faucet in 24 minutes at 2gallon per minute. The temperature started at 115 degrees for starters. The water heater returned the water out of the faucet to 104 degrees in 10 minutes and 110 degrees after 15...

This unit has and continues to deliver. We are very pleased with it. Great quality for a great price! I definitely recommend!
Totally a piece of ****. First day installed and it never worked. Sears failed to respond right away and Kenmore Inc. refused to send anyone to fix it. Now dealing with corporate office. Very irate.
Installed the water heater and it did not work. Tried every thing possible to figure out if I installed it wrong before calling Sears to send out a service tech. Well they sent out a tech and he discovered that both of the elements were bad. BRAND NEW WATER HEATER!! Go figure. Needless to say, they did not charge us for the call!! :) It's been working great ever since!!
my father recently purchased a walk in tub. His previous 40 gal, 5 yr old, electric water heater, could not keep up. He picked out this 55 gal Kenmore and let's just say, size does matter. He can now fill the tub to within 2 inches from the very top with hot water and be able to enjoy the tub's jets. Sears seriously messed up with the delivery and installation process, but that's a whole other issue.
I have purchased the kenmore water heater since December 1994 and never had any problem until today Oct 21, 2011 the Unit started to leak from the top. I am looking foward to buy another one today.I hope that Sears give a great discount for another one.

Do not know why I did not buy this water heater before. It's ease of installation and excellent reference should have made me buy this heater last year. It only took me 25 minutes to completely install and has performed flawlessly. thank you Sears. p.s. in store pick up took two minutes. great
