“Kenmore 1440 Just right for a family of four”
Our family has been very rough on this machine. While it was not made to wash the olive seeds or other hard nuts the machine has been a work horse. Having said this we needed to call for the repair and the service folks were helpful.
The warranty costs are not worth the need which will usually be...

Kenmore 18" Built-In Dishwasher (1440) Reviews
This was the first dishwasher I ever purchased and it's been 2 years, still happy. We purchased the white version. The plastic at the top has a rougher texture to the surface which does lend itself to picking up grime, but it cleans up quickly. All the controls are analog, which I prefer actually. We set our wash setting the first time and have never touched those selection controls since. The interior is solid, stainless steel, cleans well. Installation was a snap.
It runs quietly. We do have to rinse and scrub a bit at really dense or dried food remnants on the plates or we find...

It started making this horrible noise like and airplane taking off. Well now it is broke! I need to decide whether it is worth fixing or better off replacing. Save your money and buy another brand.
When we moved to this home it already had an older Kenmore dishwasher. It lasted another six years and when it was time to replace it we decided on this one. We installed it ourselves without any trouble. I guess it could be quieter but it is much quieter than our old one. It cleans the dishes well. The cycle does take 2hrs or so. I like the delayed start so it can start after we go to bed. This is a great option for those with limited space or small family. Although, we are a family of four and this has plenty of room.
I purchased this dishwasher a little over a year ago as I have a very small kitchen and needed to save some space. Although it was a costly dishwasher I decided to purchase it as I was tired of doing dishes by hand. Well I must say I should have just kept doing them by hand as that's what I am now doing a little over a year after purchasing. About 6 months after installing this dishwasher I began having trouble with the soap not being rinsed out of the washer. Either it would just be globbed down the door or in the case of using the little packets, it would only be half dissolved. Finally...

I moved into an apartment in May that has this dishwasher installed in all its units. It's horrible. I'm one person and I can't fit more than plates, cereal bowls and glasses in this. One item larger than anything found in a standard place setting will screw the whole wash off and leaves almost everything dirty which means i have to hand wash it all. I could have just done that to begin with. So forget about putting the bowls you prepared dinner in and all your pots and pans in. I would rather have a starndard size dishwasher and less cupboard space. If there's any landlords or designers/developers...
read full review »I purchased the Kenmore 18 in. Built-In Dishwasher w/ Stainless Steel Interior eight months ago. From the moment it was installed, I knew this was a rink-a-dink dishwasher. This morning I found the upper spray arm broken off the top rack. It appears that the "all plastic spray arm" broke off from it's plastic connector during use.
It feels cheap, the racks are flimsy, it's all plastic inside, and nothing about it feels like a sturdy, quality product. If you are someone with a heavy hand, or you have children who might add dishes to the dishwasher, this isn't the product for you.
My other complaint...

Peculiar that the manual doesn't explain anywhere how the time delay works.
