    • My First Water Softener
Color: Gray Size: Softener / 40,000 Grain
Review Image by N Garner
Review Image by N Garner
Initial opinion of the water softener is 5 stars. Will update if this changes later. The product arrived in good condition and was very pleased with the deluxe delivery with the crew taking away the boxes and plastic after taking it into my basement. Setup was intuitive and easy if you have a basic understanding of plumbing. I'm not a plumber and it took 60-ish minutes to redo my three filter and UV setup to route into and out of the unit. I followed a video that was part of the QR code that doubled as your set of instructions for water and salt adding and the initial regeneration cycle. That regen cycle took 90 minutes and have me time to clean up. Unit is silent when in use. I guess that's normal. My first water softener so I don't really know. The regen cycle is louder, but it's not overpowering. The water has been softened by a large margin. I feel that slippery feel of soft water when showering or washing hands. Was not like that previously. Again, my first one do I think it's working right. Make sure you can drain the system properly based upon local codes. I had to install a P trap to existing plumbing (with air gap) to send water out to septic during regeneration. This is more advanced in terms of plumbing but it worked out very well in the end. The drain hose was about half the length needed so I had to buy more. Not a deal breaker, but annoying. What I liked: Looks good. Works well. Easy as can be installation for DIYers. Easy setup and use of control panel. No salty taste from fridge water. What I didn't care for: Needing QR code instead of a booklet for instructions. Very short drain line. Video showing installing the unit may not be your unit that was purchased. ... show more

    • Do not recommend
Color: Gray Size: Softener / 40,000 Grain
Just had a professional install and it’s a dud!!! Power to the unit is fine but clearly a bad circuit board!!! My mistake thinking it would be an easy flip. The unit I was replacing was 25 years old which is why I chose to go with another Kenmore. Was hopeful that this would be an easy replacement but that would be too much to ask! Now I am left with mutable bills with a repair….would not recommend! ... show more

    • Kenmore 420 is better than Kenmore Elite Water Softener
Color: Gray Size: Softener / 40,000 Grain
We had a Kenmore Elite Water Softener for about 15 years (from 2010 to 2025) and it worked great, but finally decided to upgrade to the Kenmore 420P (we don't know that the "P" stands for) in November 2025. So, after installation, which was very easy (although not all the fittings for the Kenmore 420P matched the Kenmore Elite), our water was down from about 35 GPG to 5 GPG in a matter of just a few hours. What we really like about this "upgrade" to the Kenmore 420P is that water pressure is much better and more consistent than it was with the Kenmore Elite. The Kenmore 420P is a bit more expensive (about $850) but well worth the investment. Yay! ... show more

    • Plug and play with my old Kenmore softener
Color: Gray Size: Softener / 40,000 Grain
My water has never been this soft! I have a test kit to measure water softness. My old Kenmore water softener needed to be replaced, and before doing so my water measured 17 gpg for hardness (0–3 gpg is considered soft). With the new Kenmore softener, it now measures just 1 gpg. Installation was very easy—I didn’t even need to shut off the water. It connected directly to my old Kenmore adapter with the bypass in place. ... show more

    • I like the 420, but this one leaked on install
Color: Gray Size: Softener / 40,000 Grain
This is our third Kenmore 420. Each of the previous models lasted about 10-11 years before needing to be replaced. I like the unit. It does a good job and is fairly easy to install. I was a bit uneasy buying this through Amazon, but with no local Sears store anymore I had no choice. It arrived quickly and the Amazon driver kindly placed it near our cellar door. I unpacked it and immediately noticed that the build quality was not like the older units. It feels lighter and a bit flimsy. The brine well was also filled with a lot of miscellaneous scrap plastic bits probably left over from the manufacturing process. Quality control must have been on break on the day this unit was made. I vacuumed them out and wiped the well clean. I had it installed and ready to go in an hour or so. I turned it on .... and it leaked. Specifically it leaked between the resin tank and the main housing. I disassembled it and reassembled it and it still leaked. Did it again this time using pipe dope of the gaskets. Still leaking. I called Kenmore tech support, who by the way was FANTASTIC. They determined that I was in fact missing a gasket and they would send one out under warranty. In the mean time, I took the old 420 apart and used a gasket from that machine to get this new one working. It seems fine now and the Kenmore tech folks were great, but any issue with a new piece of equipment is frustrating. ... show more
