"Kenmore Elite is a Worthy Choice"
I've owned my home for 4 months and my Kenmore Elite Gas Water Heater is a high efficient model that still keeps up with my household needs. We regularly run several showers early in the morning and it does keep up. The construction seems very solid compared to lower end models on the market and it's full sized so there is plenty of water to go around. The unit has been great so far. I would recommend it to a friend because it was a sub thousand dollar unit with the performance of a more expensive unit. The off-white color was very important to my wife, and I will admit it looks nice. The tank capacity is 40 gallons and it has a digital controller. The unit is Energy Star Compliant and it uses natural gas. Once the unit heats up the water it maintains the heat very well compared to previous units I've owned, so it seems to run less often than those units.

"Amazing water heater"
Three months ago I decided to replace my very old water heater for my home because it just wasn't doing a good job at keeping my showers steaming hot in the mornings. I looked around sears and came across this Kenmore water heater and decided to buy it since I could always return it if it turned out to be a bust. Three months later, I do not regret the decision at all. Every day I take at least three showers and they are each at least thirty minutes long. My Kenmore water heater keeps all of these showers at an amazingly high heat level. This particular Kenmore water heater uses natural gas to heat the water so it is ecofriendly and better for the environment. It has a very long warranty so you can put your worries to rest once you purchase it. I would recommend this water heater for anyone who is looking to purchase a new one.

"Kenmore Elite, Worth Every Cent"
I have just recently purchased the Kenmore Elite 40 gallon water heater. I have had it in my home for 6 months now. I have been very satisfied with heater thus far. It has made an amazing difference on my utility bill. The instillation was so easy and took no time at all, The digital controls have made it so easy to go through settings and know exactly what they are. This water heater is super efficient and doesn't seem to run even half the amount of time that my old one did. Though it was a little pricey for me, I'm glad that I made this purchase. It has shown to worth every penny and it's already paying for itself. I would definitely recommend this water heater to my family and friends. I look forward to many years of savings thanks to my new water heater. If I ever need a water heater again, I will be purchasing another Kenmore.

"Kenmore Water Heater is the best water heater that i have owned so far. Definitely would buy another one once this one goes out"
I've owned this Kenmore water heater for about 3 years now. I must say, I have been 100% happy with this water heater so far. I bought it from Sears. I wasn't originally looking for this water heater when I went to Sears, but the worker at the store talked me into it and I'm very glad that he did. My favorite thing about this water heater is that it heats the water so quickly. It's only a matter of seconds before I have hot water flowing from my shower when I turn it on. The only thing that I have had a problem with is how loud it can be. Other than that, every thing about this heater is perfect. I have not had to replace this heater yet, most likely because I have only owned it for 3 years. I would definitely recommend this heater to a friend because it has been nothing but great to me and my family.

"Can't Put a Pricetag on Reliability"
Have owned the water heater for over almost a year now. With multiple people in a rush to use the bathroom in the morning, my family relies on short showers and a trustworthy water heater. There hasn't been a need to repair or replace it, and hopefully there won't be one anytime soon. There was only one incident where it seemed to be broken, but a technician fixed the problem, explaining that it was a piping issue and not the heater itself. As far as things have gone, I would definitely recommend it to a friend, but to be honest I'm not too well-versed when it comes to water heaters. Before we moved to our current location, our old water heater would break constantly. So, when it comes time that the product needs to be replaced or repaired, I am sure Kenmore is going to be the brand I use.

"Kenmore Water Heater works well"
This water heater is satisfactory for a family of four people or less. I lived with just my parents and one sister when we first got it about three years ago, but a few months later two of my sisters moved back in, and it wasn't enough for all of us. It's also not terribly energy efficient. However, if you have a smaller family, it will heat your water well. I would buy it again but I would only recommend it to a friend who isn't sharing it with a lot of people.

"Wonderful water heater!"
When we bought our home we had a hard time getting hot water. We were told we needed a new water heater but we knew nothing about them. We decided to go with a brand we trusted and that is Kenmore. We love this model because it is Energy Star certified and the 40 gallon capacity is great for out family of four. It was $900 at the time of purchase (6 months ago) but I think it is worth every penny! I have had no problems yet. We always have hot water in an instant. I love how easy it is to adjust the temperature to further our energy savings. I will be buying this brand again, however, I am confident this water heater will last for many years. I have recommended this to my brother-in-law because he will be purchasing a new water heater for his home within the next year.

"Why I Love My Kenmore"
We just got the Kenmore 40 gallon gas water heater and it's got to be the best one you can find for the price. Honestly, $300 at Sears, can you beat that? We love how inexpensive it was, and of course how well it works. We did not install it ourselves, but we thought about it because the reviews on the website said how easy it is to install. It seemed pretty simple and took the guy less than 20 minutes. My last water heater was a Kenmore as well and I would absolutely buy this brand again. I have already recommended it to several friends. Sears offered a three year warranty on the tank and parts, so I feel confident we won't have any problems and if we do they will take care of it. It's also pretty slim (compared to our older model) so it fits right in where the old one was in our basement.

"Great water heater!"
I love this water heater. It is very efficient and never gives me problems. I am always satisfied with it. It has been working great for the many years I have owned it. Another great feature about this Kenmore water heater is its easy installation. I have owned this particular water heater for about two years. I would definately recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful water heater that always gets the job done. In fact, I just recommended it to my wife's mother, whose last water heater broke. All in all, I have been very satisfied with this water heater.

"My Water Isnt Good"
My water heater honestly sucks. I've had this water heater since i bought this house and have'nt changed it yet but planning on it in the near future. What i really like about it is at first the water can get REALLY hot. It gets so hot till it actually kind of burns. And it really doesn't make my electric bill go up that much since we have to pay for water from the City of Tallahassee. Then all at once, right after one shower, the water turns ice cold. And i have a big family. We have to wait till the water gets cold again before one person can take a shower. And that takes about a hour each time and then the water doesn't last that long. Only the first shower it last the longest. We have to take 3 minute showers at times and i like long showers. Thats my biggest dislike. Honestly i wouldn't recommend this brand to anyone nor would i buy the same brand again once i replace my water heater.
