Kenmore Elite Dishwasher

If you want the best dishwasher and you have kids you have to get this one! When we moved it was part of the agreement of sale that the dishwasher stayed! I'm so sorry now that we didn't take it with us. The controls are perfect, especially with little kids who like to touch all the buttons. But the... read full review »

Nightmare Dishwasher

Thank heaven I bought the extended warranty. The exhaust vent from the drying cycle is just too close to the control panel. I am on my third control panel. The heat and steam seem to distroy the components. I am also on my second motor and pump! Sears finally decided that it was a good idea to replace... read full review »

Would buy it again

I wanted a quiet dishwasher, and this Kenmore Elite model really is SO quiet.   We're going on our third year now, and it's as good as when we purchased it.  I love the variety of cycles (along the lines of fast, energy saver, super dirty, delayed start), but the control panel was easy to use from Day 1.  It wasn't the cheapest on the block, but in this case I feel that we got a superior product for our money.  I would highly recommend this to someone who is looking for a model that will really be as quiet as advertised, and who wants a quality product.

Kenmore Elite Dishwasher with Turbozone with rotating spray Jets, purchased from SearsExcellent dishwasher. 

The Kenmore Elite does the job everytime, no prewashing, comes out sparkling clean & dry.  This dishwasher is so quiet I do not even know it is running when sitting next to it.  It's also Energy Star.  I also find this dishwasher very easy to load & unload.  Although I never timed the cycle, it doesn't seem that your always waiting for the dishwasher to be done, like the other 2 dishwashers I am writing about below.

We have had 3 dishwashers in less than 3yrs, 1st an LG that began...

Have had our Kenmore Elite dishwasher for 6 months now and we love it.  It just does a great job.  Quiet and efficient.  The Sears sales person and installer both suggested three important items to get the most from the unit.  1) Use the detergent cubes such as Electro Sol, not liquid.  2)  Keep the rising agent dispenser filled.  3) Always run the kitchen hot water faucet until it runs hot before you start the dishwasher.  We only run the unit every 6 days, as it's just the two of us, and we do not pre-rinse anything.  It has yet to fail in getting the dishes sparkling clean. ...

I went to Sears looking for an air conditioner and ened up with a new dishwasher. Nothing wrong with my old Whirlpool, but a new energy efficent washer seemed good and it had a "good rating" and a great sale price. I purchased Kenmore Elite 24 in. Built-In Dishwasher with TurboZone with Rotating Spray Jets.

So far, it has not produced one truly clean wash cycle.

Highly Recommend

Have had the machine for approximately 7 months and it cleans very well. Unit is very quiet and you hardly know when it is running. Turbo zone actually does work-cleans some very tough looking pots/dishes after cooking in the oven. Con-Stainless interior especially the inside of the door seems to stain easily from simple things such as left over milk from a glass. Have not been able to remove the stains to date using various types of cleaners. Did not expect stainless to ever stain!

A very good dishwasher

I did a lot of research before replacing my old KitchenAid dishwasher. I have often found I do not like my new appliances as much as my old ones--they just seem less well made. This is not the case with my new Kenmore (we've had it about 5 months now). I chose this for its features and the Sears service. In my research I heard and read nightmares about service from other companies. I also wanted the food grinder which Bosch and Miele do not have. The big interior of this dishwasher was also a factor in my choice. This dishwasher is quiet and gets my dishes really clean--noticeably cleaner... read full review »

Super dishwasher!

Our family has had this dishwasher for about 2 months. We do about 2 FULL loads a day (so we really put a dishwasher to the test). We had looked at more expensive brands but liked this one when we saw it in person and after reading consumer reports and online reviews. The dishes come out so clean. We love the stainless interior, and the turbo jets get out really tough messes on pots and pans. The exterior appearance is really upscale and sleek. This dishwasher is so extremely quiet we barely even hear it when it is operating! We LOVE this dishwasher!

Very Pleased

We have had our dishwasher about 4 months and are very pleased with the performance and style. Very quiet and dishes are clean. Love the sleek outside design.

So far, so good

I've only used it a couple times so far, but already I can tell that it gets utensils cleaner than any other diswasher I've ever owned. The drying cycle works great too! The turbo cleaning action gets dishes clean that I never would have tried to put in a dishwasher before. Everything was dry and clean as a whistle. Overall I'm very please with my purchase.

Kenmore Elite

I love it!!!!! After installing it my husband and I loaded it and ran it through the cycle. I was sitting on the couch watching TV and yelled to my husband in the other room........Hear that? He said hear what, all I hear is the TV. I screamed, yea, that is what I mean. You can hear the TV. I have to check the dishwasher to see if it is really on.

Pretty good

Looks great out of the box, it is very quite cleans dishes and pots very well. Have only had repair tech out one time to replace wheels on top rack. I think this is a pretty good machine I agree front of dishwasher stains easily and does not ever look total clean once you use it.
