Kenmore Elite Dishwasher Review Summary

Opinions on the Kenmore Elite Dishwasher are mixed, although the majority do enjoy this unit. Aesthetically, it doesn't show any fingerprints, and with a total push button system there are "no knobs to worry about breaking." Most reviewers report that this Kenmore dishwasher "cleans the dishes without rinsing first." In comparison, reviewers enjoy this dishwasher more more than the GE brand. They find the Kenmore is "quiet, hardworking, easy to use." However, there have been issues with the dishes not getting very clean even after repeated calls to customer service. If you want a dishwasher that is more reliable for everyone, try the Whirlpool Dishwasher.

For years, my old dishwasher sounded like a hurricane that would reverberate in the kitchen, the family room, and even the basement.  After recently remodeling my home, we installed the Kenmore Elite dishwasher.  And the difference is enormous.  This dishwasher is so quiet; I can watch television...

The first time the repairman cam out and told me it wasn't cleaning the dishes because there were chicken bones, I thought no way... and then told my family to be careful. The second time he came and told me there were chicken bones in the drain, it looked very suspiciously like the same string of bones....

My daughter first bought this Kenmore Elite dishwasher and when she was so impressed, I bought the same one. It is daunting to look at hundreds of dishwashers and not know which is best. This Turbo wash feature even cleans dried on rice, left for days. I love the stainless steel tub also.

I thought all dishwashers were alike. But once I got my Kenmore Elite, I will never do anything different. I can take a dirty pot with stuff caked on it and it will come out clean! I used to clean my dishes to put them in the dishwasher, now I just take them straight from the table (minus large chunks of food) and put them in the dishwasher.

I really like my Kenmore Elite dishwasher.  I can't recommend it enough.  It's stainless stell front is even nice to look at.

It was purchased as a replacement for a GE dishwasher that was installed by our builder.  The old dishwasher failed and flooded our kitchen last summer.  Our old dishwasher, like every other GE product we've ever purchased, didn't really work correctly.

We had to choose a new dishwasher quickly, and we were ready to pay for a quality quiet operating product.  Our old dishwasher was so noisy that we could hear it running anywhere in the house, even with the doors closed. ...

We have had our Sears Kenmore Elit dishwasher for a little over 1 year---it was bought last year.  I had to call for service twice already because of problems with it.  The last time the serviceman came out, the dishwasher just stopped working and a green light on the door keeps flashing.  He diagnosed that the main pump went out.   He had to order a new one with entire housing assembly and it will take anywhere between 3 to 7 days.  Meanwhile we're expected to wash our dishes by hand.   Why have a dishwasher?

 

To have the main pump go out in only about a year of service, I call that...

i love my kenmore elite dishwasher. it is a under the counter dishwasher that is black. it does not show any fingermarks. kenmore makes this dishwasher so energy efficent that i do not even here it when it is running. i have no knobs to worry about breaking. the whole system is push button.it has two drawers that wash on the bottom and the top of the dishwasher. capacity is big enough that you can wash pots and pans in it and the heating element inside just knocks the dried up food rite off.one of the great factors is that i can set it to come on at a certain time. load it and forget about it love...
