Kenmore Power Miser 12, 75 gallon Natural Gas Water Heater —
This water heater is a great buy and value. With this unit, I have never run out of hot water. You can have 2 showers going at once and even run the washing machine on a hot cycle and not run out.
Although it is a bigger unit, it takes less space than having two 40 or 50 gallon units in your basement. It also costs less to purchase, install, & operate than having 2 units. It has great recovery time. It also has a nice appearance. It does require 4" venting instead of the standard 3" to accomodate the 55,000 BTU burner. A standard burner is only 40,000 BTUs. If you like having plenty of hot water handy but don't want your bills to get out of hand this is the water heater for you. As a kid I hated growing up in house that was often out of hot water especially when it was my turn to take a shower. Life Is Good Now...
