I did extensive research on water heaters before I chose the Sears Power Mizer 12. The specifications were quite impressive. It took me 2 hours to drain and disconnect the old water heater and install the Power Mizer. The one thing I noticed immediately was it was cool to the touch even when it's heating... review »

Not As Advertised!

This model was advertised as having TWO large anode rods for protection against corrosion and long life. But when I received the unit, there was only one. It appears the manufacturer eliminated one anode rod as a cost cutting measure, and Sears failed to update the product description. The heater performs... review »

Nothing but issues

This tank has had nothing but issues. 14 months after installation, I had to have the lighting assembly unit replaced. 28 months after installation, the tank now has a water leak that requires replacement. I did not elect to purchase the extended service plan and would highly recommend you purchase the plan.

Perfect, No Problems

I bought this one in Sept. '08 and installed myself. Perfect, No problems since. The best options available on a standard WHeater. Plenty of hot water always, I can't run it out. I paid $424 + tax @ Sears 6 months ago and they wanted the same price on their website, but it looks like the price has gone way up on this since then.

I called some local plumbing companies and they all quoted me between $800-$1000 more than Sears was charging! I couldn't believe it, and none of them would budge on their quote. I went with this water heater after the reviews and talking to the person on the phone. This is a solid water heater that is 2" wider than most (remember this to make sure you have the space!). Sears contracted the install with a reputable plumbing company and I had it installed the next day within 2 hours, all of this cost me under $800 whereas other places were quoting me $1700-$1900. So far very pleased with the product... review »

Extensive research led me to this water heater, specs and 12 year tank warranty are best in class. Installed smoothly, works flawlessly.

I would like to retract my previous review and replace it with a more positive review. I determined that the heater does in fact have two anode rods. One of them is combined with the hot water pipe and is thus not readily apparent. The other rod is plainly visible. mchubbard

A thing of beauty

DEC

I had been going down in the basement every morning to empty the bucket which was catching the drips from my old water heater, so I had to go down this morning to look at my new Sears Power Miser 12 Water Heater. It's a thing of beauty. There's 50 gallons of 140 degree water in that tank and yet when you touch the cobalt blue exterior it feels cool and smooth. I love it. Be careful, it's a bit bigger around than my old standard sized tank - that's the extra insulation but it could be an issue in a closet or tight fitting location. But not in my basement - it's down there right now ready to... review »

Finally Hot Water!

It's wider than most other tanks, so it is a little harder to move into position! It is amazingly cool to the touch and we can do a load of dishes, laundry and still have water for a shower! If we are still in this house when this dies, I will definitely stay with Kenmore!

The new Power Miser 12 50 gal. water heater was installed about 6 weeks ago and I was very pleased with the ease of installation and the precise temperature control. The R 16 insullation will help save $$.

We started our research regarding purchasing an Energy Star Water Heater about one year prior to this purchase, because the one we had was over twelve years old and on its last leg. Wanted a high efficiency Water Heater with a great warranty and company history, since there are only a few companies that make these heaters. It was somewhat interesting to find out which one, we stood with a good company that would stand behind its warranty. Sears did hit that list, second I wanted a respectful and trusted company which I found out made this Water Heater. Actually this was rated as one of the top... review »
