I've seen people giving good reports of A O Smith units. I understand
that Sears/Kenmore water heaters are made by A O Smith, so any reason to
avoid Kenmore if the price is right? -- and install it myself.

home depot has better prices than sears, kenmore is just a marketing
name. sears says we want a hot water tank, stove fridge with these
features, and the manufacturer says heres the price.

A couple of years ago, we had to replace our 66-gal. electric, and the
cheapest source was Sears., $380, or at least $50 cheaper than Lowe's
and Home Depot, neither which had the product in stock.
