Kenmore 80 gal. Tall Electric Water Heater (32184) —

This model was installed as a warranty item on 12/7/04 and is now leaking and needs replacement. I am very unhappy with this performance since the model has a 12 year warranty and lasted only 4.5 years. As it was a replacement for an earlier Sears HW heater, the original warranty has expired, thus we need to buy a new heater and pay for installation again. I would not recommend this model to anyone.
