We purchased a Kenmore dishwasher about five years ago. Do not buy a Kenmore dishwasher. Parts fail and they leak. Our kitchen floor (new) was ruined. My husband fixed the first leak. This was a small part that cost $5 online. Of course the warranty had just run out??? Two years later and something else is leaking. I guess he is going to have to try and fix it again. Cheap crap, manufactured without adequate quality control (yes I work in shipping/logistics so am aware of the shortcuts). You pay enough for these things but they do not last. My advice is to stay away. There is a reason that Sears is failing and disappearing. Maybe this is why.

My overall experience with it was okay, but after a little over a year, it started leaking water everywhere. Thankfully it was still under warranty then, but still would not expect something to go wrong with it for just a year’s worth of use. It was big enough to fit all of our needs just fine, and we have a family of four. Never had an issue with the space with it at all. Overall, the outside of the unit is very nice, because I got the stainless steel one to match all of my other appliances in the house. Inside, it looks like any other dishwasher. The value was alright, not a real big deal and not a real big price either. But overall, I would say that it was okay for what I had to pay for it.

My last dishwasher broke down so it had to be replaced. My new Kenmore dishwasher looks better and cleans much better. I am happy with it. The one thing Ilike best is that I can put large - tall objects in it.

Im satisfied with the appearance of this dishwasher although this dishwasher looks like your standard dishwasher. The color and finish are acceptable. The dial does not stand out in a bad way. This dishwasher has plenty of room for all types of dishes, from plates and bowls to mixing bowls to pots and pans to silverware to cups and mugs. I dont have a problem fitting in all my dishes. It does exactly what a dishwasher should: cleans dishes without pre-washing. Its efficient, not too loud, and easy to use. This specific dishwasher is a good value when compared to all dishwashers. It isnt ridiculously expensive, but its also not cheap or poorly made. I would recommend this dishwasher and If youre in the market for a dishwasher, this is a good value for your money.

My dishwasher performs great when it needs to wash my dishes, but sometimes it wont leave a good shine on glasses or damage something with a printed pattern. It really hurts me when one of my favorite glasses gets ruined. I usually dont have many dishes to wash, so a small, compact size like the one my dishwasher has meets my needs rather well. It also doesnt take up much space in my house, since I dont have a very big kitchen that I can do things in. Its appearance blends in rather well with the rest of my kitchen because everything in it is the same color, from the refrigerator to the counter tops. It doesnt really matter to me what it looks like though, just that it gets the job done. I paid a pretty good price for my dishwasher when I got it and it hasnt let me down yet. Its been running like new for years and hasnt needed any major repairs for as long as Ive had it. I like to think that is a pretty good value for my money.

Dishes did not come out clean. The parts in the dishwasher were cheap and broke easily. Our dishwasher broke just outside of the warranty period. The size was fine. It could use a sturdier rack system. This is one part of the dishwasher with which I am not completely frustrated. It fits into the allotted space in my kitchen. It is a decent size to clean dishes from several meals. The dishwasher is aesthetically pleasing. I do prefer the stainless steel that I upgraded to after this dishwasher broke. The control panel looks nice. This dishwasher was flimsy, poorly made, and inefficient. I plan to never purchase a Whirlpool or Kenmore appliance ever again. Cheap. Cheap. Cheap.

This is a great dishwasher. It gets all my dishes and glasses really clean and theres never any residue and soap left on dishes. Its very quiet and doesnt use a lot of water. This dishwasher is a great size for anyone. It has plenty of room for all my dishes plus glasses and pans. There are enough baskets for all my utensils. This dishwasher has a great traditional design that would fit in with every style kitchen. It is also very easy to clean the door of the unit. I think this dishwasher is a great value. It does a great job of cleaning all the dishes. It uses a small amount of water and electricity to run and it didnt cost a lot of money.

The Kenmore we had was in our townhouse when we purchased it. It was a few years old and didnt have the features we wanted in a dishwasher. It was not a very efficient machine but did the job...for a while. Thats the only good thing about it, but we didnt dislike anything it did. It was an entry model, no bells or whistles. It did not have special racks that moved, it didnt have fold down racks and two washing wands, it only had one small utensil holder and no place for larger items. We soon replaced it and now have a Bosch dishwasher and are very pleased. I am sure Kenmore has better models now, but we wanted a Bosch.

It is okay. Pressure is good. The food filter is difficult to clean which is frustrating. Was super easy to replace and hook back up to the disposal. Strongly dislike the silverware tray. Wish there was something to hold down the dishes. Theyre fly everywhere and end up full of dirty water often and need rewashing. Cannot fit enough dishes inside, and definitely cannot fit larger pots and some pans with a standard load. A family of 4 (2 of which are 6 and under and do not use standard size plates is more than its capacity and we have to do 2 plus loads for dinner alone most days. It looks fine. It matches our other appliances. The handle opener thingies at the top makes it hard to clean around/under and I dont like that at all. I dont think it portrays value like the Bosch design where you know people spent way more for it but its worth it because its a Bosch. This is one you get on sale at Walmart & Target and are just glad it works.

Have had this brand dishwasher for years, always been extremely reliable, sturdy and lasting. Honestly I dont think that I would ever choose a different name brand item for my familys needs. Works wonderfully. When we moved into our new home, there was a place in the kitchen already cut out for the dishwasher, it fit perfectly with no problems, its not too bulky at all. Love the flow. Has a beautiful finish. It was way more than I expected.

It does its job but I hardly ever use it because I always seem like I am cleaning the dishes and other cookware again when the dishwasher is done. It’s a standard size for the dishwasher. I, however, would measure the space that you want the dishwasher to go in. It matches all of my other black appliances. Maybe someday different colors will be available in a special order. I did some research on this. I got a good deal but I wish it cleaned my dishes a little better. If you want something more economical this is good.

I purchased a Kenmore elite refrigerator less than 3 years ago. Within the first year - 2 of the drawers had the front break off. Sears did replace these. About 14 months after purchase 2 more had broken and they would no longer replace them - I could purchase new ones for $130 each. Over the next year the ice maker quit working and 2 of the other drawers broke too. A few night ago - my wife was cleaning the fridge and the door fell off. We had purchased a Kenmore elite dishwasher at the same time. That quit working in less than 2 years. I had the service tech out for $85. He told me that he would have to replace the main board and the pump for $350 and that still might not fix it. I dont think I would buy a Kenmore product again.

The Kenmore dishwasher cleans well and consistently. The cycles are efficient, and the best boost and sanitizing rinse cycles offer extra cleaning. It has a sleek exterior, and the selection buttons are well marked and designed. The outside surface is easy to clean, and the interior has fewer crevices and crannies to clean than others. The dishwashers space is flexible, with the top rack adjustable for height, and dividers on both tracks fold to accommodate large bowls or odd sized items. It’s flexible to fit a variety of large or tall pans, bowls, pots, platters, etc. and the baskets secure small items. This was a mid-line dishwasher -- not too expensive but not the no-frills model. It has plenty of features and is efficient at cleaning but didnt cost a fortune.

Very functional and easy to use. The best dishwasher I ever had. Noiseless and fast cleaned. This dishwasher is cheap in price but good in quality for a small family. Works very well. Ill update when it breaks down to let others know how long it lasts with regular use and care. Very good size. Can place pots, dishes and almost all your dishes for a family of four. Love this dishwasher. It is quiet and gets the dishes clean. Plenty of room to put larger items. A welcome addition to my home. I would recommend this. Simple dishwasher with basic controls but it works very well. Includes the basics to start washing such as soap packets and jet dry. Simple is good in my book since there is less to go wrong. Its working strong so far. Great price, great performance. I always trust Kenmore brand. Good buy. Does what it is suppose to do. I would recommend it to someone. Price was excellent too.

This dishwasher cleans really caked on dishes, pots, and pans without rinsing them first. It saves on water, but it has a sprayer nozzle that really does the job the first time! It has a bottom and a top rack that seem rather wider than my replaced one. Also, each rack is long enough for you to place dishes for up to 6 people. On the bottom there is ample space for pots and pans and a big silverware tray. I chose the stainless steel look because I love the shine of it when I clean the front. It fit perfectly in the space that we had our old dishwasher without any problems. Once I used it the first time I knew we had chose the best dishwasher, because it is very energy-efficient and does not use a whole lot of unnecessary water. The spray nozzle is the benefit of using less water because it is so powerful and it cleans everything spotless.

Yes this is the best one out there in the market. I recommend this to everyone who is looking for a nice dish washing machine. I recommend 10/10. Best size, too better than other machine. This is a great size and fits perfectly, you wont be disappointed. The appearance is a amazing. It looks really good and I like the way it looks in the kitchen, very professional looking, great buy. The value of this dishwasher is really great value, bang for your buck and works amazing. This should sell for more based on the quality. Its really amazing.

It is a brand I trust and have owned before. It was recommended to me by friends and by family who have used it for years and have had no complaints. We have a very large family that cooks a lot and appreciate not having to wash dishes after preparing such a large meal for our families. Easy to use and gets everything clean which is very important. In my family we have a lot of parties and use the dishwasher a lot for these large special occasions that are very important to my future. We bake BBQ fry so much cooking. I have found this to be the best dishwasher I and my family has ever used. A little hard to load larger pieces in the machine. The one thing that would be better would be if I could fit larger pieces in the dishwasher with more ease. I cook a lot and need room for large dishes.

Good everyday basic dishwasher. The short wash cycle cleans just as well as the long - saves time and energy. It has the push bubbles for controls which is easier to clean than the old-fashioned manual knobs and probably has longer life knobs. On the other hand, heated dry takes a long time. It is noisier than other models because it does not have good thick insulation surrounding the tub or any sound dampening in the motor area on surrounding the tub. Its a Whirlpool in disguise at a better price. It does a good job. Kenmore (Sears private label brand) does not do their own manufacturing but farm out to other makers to create the appliances for them.

Kenmore is the best brand of appliances you could ever have. I love the dishwasher and the Control panel on this dishwasher. It is easy to use. All of the buttons are easy access. Its not hard to press and they light up and respond immediately when touched. I do not like the Sprayer Arms all the time. Sometimes they do not move and sometimes they also fall off. I hate having to put the sprayer arms back on the appliance. This is the best dishwasher I have ever had. The customer service is excellent. I love Kenmore appliances.

My dishwasher is easy to use, & great cleaning & is very quiet. I use mine at least 5 times a week. This is a great dishwasher. I love everything about it. Kenmore has far exceeded my expectations. I would have to think long and hard before I would replace this dishwasher. I love everything about this dishwasher. I would highly recommend this to everyone who is looking for a dishwasher. I love it so much.

Could never rely on this dishwasher to do the job. It was constantly needing several repairs to eventually break down again. I had to call maintenance repair to my house several times for them to look at the problem. This dishwasher was great in size. I could pack a lot of dishes in and never had an issue with nothing fitting. The size of the dishwasher was one of the main reasons why I purchased it. The dishwashers appearance is beautiful. I got several comments on it whenever I would have company come over to my house. Several people would ask me what model it was. For what I paid for this dishwasher, I wasnt satisfied. It needed way too many repairs and half the time, the maintenance people didnt even know what to do and said I should most likely invest in a new dishwasher.

It was inexpensive but worked for a long time. It got the dishes clean without having to scrap and hand wash first. It wasnt super loud which was nice. I didnt have any problems with it. We just moved and didnt need it at the new house. It was large enough for a growing family of five including disinfecting bottles and sippy cups. We even washed pots and pans sometimes in it. It was nice and clean, very neutral. It went well with the small kitchen. And the inside stayed clean, I have had some rust out on the inside, but this one held up. I thought it was a really good buy for the price. It was one of the less expensive models but seemed to last a really long time. I would buy one again.

The dishwasher is very good. The only thing is I found dishes need to be rinsed off quite well before being washed. But using a strong cleaner helped. The dishwasher is a perfect size for a small family. Even cooking larger meals the dishwasher can hold everything just fine. No complaints about the size. Although not a fan of black appliances, this dishwasher can look appealing in most any kitchen. Easy to clean and looks classy. Stainless would be better however. For how well the dishwasher works and cleans, it is priced well. Could be a little less but since it is pretty powerful, its priced at a good value.

Works well and has a good sound when cleaning. I like the quietness of the product and length it takes to run the dishwashing cycle. I dont have to rinse dishes before I put them in the dishwasher. Nice, efficient size for any kitchen. I can fit any dish, pot, or pan into the machine and it will be clean. I dont have to separate the silverware exactly. Price was good and I got what I paid for. Didnt have to purchase an expensive product to get the cleaning power that I needed to get my dishes clean.

It was capable of holding all of my dishes, including all of my utensils. It was able to clean everything quite well, and it worked very quietly. It was easy to load, and unload. Nothing complicated. Near the end of its run, it began to have a hard time cleaning all of the dishes. It also did not always clean EVERY dish, and had trouble reaching all of the utensils, sometimes. Kenmore has met my expectations. I chose it because it was easily recognizable and relatively cheap. It also worked very well. Overall, I was quite happy with the product.

Definitely reliable and sturdy. Lasts a long time if treated well. Also cleans really well with spotless dishes. Personally I loved my dishwasher. The dishwasher was kind of small on the top task. Could definitely use more space for pots and pans and larger than normal cookie sheets. Not the most attractive dishwasher. If you want performance, go for this one but if you want appearance then something else would be for you. Definitely a great value. Great performance for a great price. Very good investment to make for a new family on a budget. Lasts for a really long time so makes the buy even better.

The dishwasher washes well provides there are no stuck on or crusted food items. I wish it dried better, but I can simply leave the door open when it is done running and allow the dishes to air dry. The dishwasher fits most dishes and utensils, but I do have issues with some larger pots, pans, and baking sheets. I usually need to run two full loads after a large family dinner, but I think this is common with most dishwashers. The appearance is smooth and sleek, with no protruding handles, which I like. It cleans easily, and the black color is a nice compromise between the cheaper-looking white and the high-end stainless steel models. The dishwasher was a good value for the price point, and it seems average in water usage. I have not noticed a change in our water bill, so the water usage must be fairly normal since the machine is not high efficiency.

In 5 years of having refrigerator I never once had any issues with not cooling or breaking of any kind. I had plenty of storage space. I could put anything I needed to inside. It has movable shelves for bigger dishes. I love the fact the gallons of milk would fit in the door. It was a beautiful unit that cleaned easily especially on the handles where the most dirt would be. Mine was in white to match my kitchen perfectly. I got 5 years out of the unit and might still have if it would have fit in my smaller kitchen. I thought I got a bargain for what I paid.

Works great! Gets all the food and grease off the dishes. Leaves the dishes spotless. High water pressure. Affordable for families with low incomes! It is a nice size. We live in a smaller 2 bedroom apartment and it is the perfect size for our small kitchen. It fits a lot of dishes in there too. Love the stylish appearance. Clean with a stainless steel cleaner and you can see yourself in it. Love everything about the look. I wish it was a little cheaper. But for the price it is an amazing appliance! It has worked perfectly for me so far. I did not get a discount or get it on sale.

Its large and turntable works wonderfully. It hold my large 9x12 baking dishes. The power setting for reduced power does not work well! Difficulty getting 50% power intermittently ineffective. Other than that it is a good microwave.

Wonderful. I love this dishwasher to be amazing. The kids are in charge of washing the dishes. They do not pre-wash etc. They just shove the dishes in the washer and turn it on and poof the dishes comes out spotless. The size is just right. Again the kids are in charge of the dishes and they shove everything into the dishwasher - pots, pans, spoon, forks, cheese cutter, cutting board. And there is room for everything. It is just the right size. I choose Chrome and black cause I am not sure of what kind of refrigerator I am going to get so black and Chrome works. Worth every dime I spent of the dishwasher and times are hard so it was money well spent. I like the fact that it does not use a lot of water and it is not so loud that it keeps the baby up or disturb the dogs.

I always had a bunch of dishes to do and this dishwasher never let me down. It worked great and got the dishes spotless every time. Not one time did it ever break down on me. It held a lot of dishes and had enough space for breakfast lunch and dinner dishes from a family of 5. But it wasnt so big that it was bulky. The color was beautiful too. Shiny without being too shiny and was very easy to clean. It also wasnt too bright or too dull. It was just right. The biggest thing I was worried about was the price. With two toddlers to take care of I didnt have a lot of money but I was scared if I didnt spend a lot of money I would get something that didnt work good. With this I got something fairly priced that works great.

We enjoy the electronic touch qualities of the Kenmore Elite and the stainless interior. The upper shelf is made with plastic parts that continue to break and cause it to come off track. Also, we arent sure if it was how the Sears installer installed it initially, but the water house fell off and flooded the kitchen and under the cabinet only 1 year after it was installed. The very expensive repairman says he sees the clamps fail frequently. It came with lots of useless thing-a-ma-jigs, that fall off and are not needed anyway. Touchscreen, stainless interior, streamline placement of controls, easy clean stainless exterior, quiet, sleek look shows smudges. Could be better design of dish placement. Its always nice to have more room. Modern, no knobs to have to clean around. Sears no longer has a team or repair services like the old days. Calls for help were not helpful. Try to upsell you instead of fixing flaws of dishwasher.

Compared to my previous dishwasher it runs much more quietly, it leaves less streaks in my glasses and silverware and dries out the dishes much better. Ultimately I cant make a bigger comparison here as its roughly the same size of my previous washer, but I can say that even with pretty full loads I have had no trouble loading up to capacity and felt I didn’t have enough space. I am a one who tends to appreciate minimalist design so I like uniform colors and the sleek metal look tends to match the décor of my kitchen very well. It was a fairly priced washer, I mean it didnt seem to be any more expensive or cheap than most of the comparable models when we purchased it.

Runs smoothly, not super loud, always cleans everything. The dishwasher has been running great. I never have had any issues with the dishwasher. The size fits my area in the kitchen great. I love that the size is not too big but yet it fits really well. I have enjoyed the washer machine. The metal has fit well together with my whole kitchen. I would like the buttons on the front though. That is the only problem I have had. The washer seemed a little expensive for my budget and thought it works well but yet the price definitely works for how they uses. I just think for the middle class it might be much.

My mother has always owned Kenmore appliances and has very good luck with them. That is why I buy Kenmore and I have always been satisfied with their appliances including the dishwasher. It was a large capacity and lots of room for all my dishes and even my largest pots and pans. No need to prewash dishes and everything including pots and pans came out clean. Very easy to load and I liked where the silverware rack was located.

Works very well. Very quiet and uses less water while cleaning the dishes effectively. One of the best dishwashers on the market. Perfect size and fits nicely under the counter. Definitely worth every penny and would definitely recommend purchasing. Great product backed up by great service. Sleek clean design that is both functional and modern. Will fit in any kitchen decor and make your kitchen look modern.

We bought a Kenmore Dishwasher in October at Sears because we believed at the time there was no consumer retailer with a more trusted name that a consumer could rely upon. NEVER AGAIN. We will NEVER SHOP AT SEARS AGAIN FOR ANYTHING AND WOULD LIKE TO WARN ALL CONSUMERS TO STAY AWAY AS WELL. Our brand new Kenmore worked middling well for the first few weeks, then we began to notice our dishes were not getting clean. We carefully went over the manual and adjusted several things: added more Jet-Dry so the dispenser was full, adjusted the knob for the Jet-Dry to maximum; moved the silverware holder so the soap dispenser would have no interference. But even with that, the dishes were not washing properly. A repairman came to the house on December 28th. He made a few adjustments, and left. We tried again, and once again, our dishes did not clean. The soap dispenser ejected the soap, but the soap landed at the very top of the dishwasher and sat there like a lump of coal. It did not dissolve. So I called again. Now, I had to wait until January 10th. Today. Thirteen days for a repairman. I asked to speak with a manager and was told there was nothing anyone could do. Sears is apparently short on repairmen. So today I received a call from Sears. My repair had been injured on the job. My appointment was cancelled. Next available date-- JANUARY 22ND. My brand new dishwasher that had NEVER worked properly was going to have to wait now ANOTHER TWELVE DAYS. AND THERE WAS NOTHING NO ONE COULD DO!!! I spoke to at least FIVE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE. And you are speaking to day players here. No one in a position of power. Customer no-service. No with a STAKE in SEARS. No one who gives a damn about you, or the company. The last woman I spoke with told me to stop yelling. I wasnt yelling, I told her. I was adamant. And so, welcome to Corporate America. This is what happens when companies get too big TO CARE. I cant even give the thing back b/c their return policy is 30 days. NOTHING BREAKS DOWN IN THE FIRST 30 DAYS! So we are stuck. Even if this damn thing gets fixed, it is a vastly inferior machine than we had before. So, stay away. Just stay away from sears altogether.Updated on 02/05/2018: Whatever you do, do not buy from Sears. We are on repairman THREE. As soon as he arrived, he got on the phone. Repair via telecommuting. Dishwasher bought in late October worked for 2 weeks. It is now February. The motor stopped working in two weeks. First repairman who was condescending diddled with the computer and did not discover the broken motor. Repairman two did, but parts had to be ordered. Repairman Three is here now, telecommuting. Any bets on if I get a working dishwasher? Customer service is ineffectual and rude. I went to Sears because Sears used to a name that could be trusted. No more. Stay away.

Very good. I can use the time as this does the job, because I simply request to leave the dishes there, and this does it all. I like the shape of your design, elegant and casual time, but the way that your system is structured is a bit unusual compared to other models. It should perhaps include a function that allows more easily remove stubborn stains. The previous model used, a little faster drying my dishes, but just do not feel bad with this purchase. It is very efficient and I like its design. Its size is very good, just the place for a house like mine, just as I do not care much whether it is large or small, because the ideal is bigger to wash more. I really like its size.It is appropriate color, it combines with my kitchen, and is efficient for its so great as not hinder me at all. Its design is what seems to me the best, maybe main reason for purchase. It is a great design that is very nice, and just perfect for color in general is sleek and modern. I like that and more. Its great for the product cost. I think this is very good, not a bad buy and overall, the benefits outweigh the bad things, has the perfect price. Even did not bother to buy it if it were a bit more expensive.

The Kenmore dishwasher has been great and it works fantastic. Most dishwashers have your dishes come out with spots on it but not this one. It is a 24 inch built in dishwasher and it fits quite a bit of dishes about 12-15 plates and plenty of glasses. It has two racks and a utensil holder. It is stainless steel with black. The buttons are all digital and it has a black handle underneath. The buttons light up and it plays music or whatever you set it to to go off when its done. Its of great value. It costs about 300.00 and I believe that is a reasonable price for the quality of this product. This product is also much better than others not only because of the style, quality and efficiency but the cost as well. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that is in the market for a dishwasher.

Efficient Dishwasher--cleans well. Rack is appropriate for a variety of sizes. Could be quieter. Exterior is easy to maintain. Nice, sleek appearance. Can easily manage a variety of sizes and is ample enough to hold a couple of days worth for a family of three. Utensils Basket is adequate. Some larger mugs are difficult to place. Style is appropriate for variety of kitchen styles. Works perfectly in our small country kitchen but would also fit beautifully in a more modern decor. Average, affordable price. Easily comparable to higher end machines. I find this dishwasher to be a good value for the money based on the overall style and function. Weve had no problem with the machine.

It came with the apartment that I rented and it matches the rest of the appliances. It is a basic dishwasher though and not like the fancier brands and models. This dishwasher has certain limitations, it doesnt do too much and sometimes it floods. Its good for washing dishes but I wish it would fit more dishes and wasnt so loud. However, I like that it has hot and cold and it has a rinse cycle feature.

High-quality dishwasher. Provides optimal results even when dishes have baked on grime. Worth the extra spend if youre tired of spending 15 minutes scrubbing plates. Personally, it is a little too large for the kitchen Im currently in. But I wouldnt have a problem with the size if I was in a larger kitchen. It holds more than normal. The appearance was what sold me. It has a clean front with controls on the inside. Its the most incognito dishwasher around. Id recommend over other styles. Value is superb. As is the case with all other household appliances, you get what you pay for, and this one is a high-quality dishwasher that delivers the results youd expect.

Performed very well. It always took care of the dishes and only had a few problems with it. The heating element would get caked with water deposits and the soap dispenser door brook. Had dishwasher for 15 years and only needed service 3 times for problems. The size fit my family as there were only 2 of us. However it handled a large load when company came for dinner. Size was appropriate and easy to load all the dishes. Dishwasher was nice color that kept its shape with no peeling or rust anywhere. Inside stayed nice if taken care of depending on your water hardness. We had ours for 15 years and I would have to say the value was exceptional for the amount of time we had the dishwasher. I would definitely recommend for starting families.

Kenmore is one of the best dishwashers I have ever used. It gets my dishes nice and clean without the extra scrub. Love the size and the appearance of the dishwasher. Very high tech. Its built into my wall and fits perfectly. Very easy to maneuver around and use. And I love the new look of it. Very new and different. Fits perfectly with the color of my kitchen. A great product for the value of your money. Very worth the money spent. I would definitely recommend purchasing one of these dishwashers. It works great and I love it.

The Kenmore dishwasher was in my house when I bought it. It is just a plain dishwasher with a couple of buttons. Its nothing fancy. It has a little tray for your silverware and has a rinse cycle wash. Its OK but you have to rinse off the dishes really good so I wash them by hand. Not even an exter wash. It holds most of my dishes but it doesnt hold my big frying pans and pots. It will hold my cookie sheets if I can slide it in between the dishes. I would like to get a newer model sometime in the future.

I chose Kenmore Dishwashers because have a good reputation when it comes to their appliances. They deliver and install and I was able to find a good price. The reviews that I read during my research process were mostly positive. Also, I had a Kenmore dishwasher in an old apartment and I was satisfied with it. I like that it has different cycles for specific needs for dishes. The heat dry and the antibacterial option were great for sterilizing baby bottles, etc. I appreciated the non-drip tray for the dish liquid. I did not like how long it took to wash the dishes on the majority of the cycle options. Most of the time I couldnt hear the Done beep that is provided. Id rather it be louder or a music type of tune to be played so I can hear when its ready.

This product has a good performance. Quiet and sophisticated system. Make my dishwasher time unique experience in my house. Good performance is a goal and a reality in my house. Standard size make very easy move the appliance. The kitchen look very good and have space to all my dishes and never cause any damage. Good performance for this appliance. The modern appearance makes easy to recommend the dishwasher to other people. Good performance and appearance. I love the finished gloss of the dishwasher. Look beautiful. The appliance value is low. The appliance cost varying, but is low price when compared with other brands and appliance. I am very satisfy with the cost.

We have a maintenance contract with Kenmore to repair our dishwasher. The dishwasher died. We called to have it repaired. No repairman appeared on the assigned date. A call to the repair number succeeded only to set up another date a month out. (Previously we had a Kenmore water heater die. We had a maintenance contract on it too. A visit to the Sears store for help just got us a call a plumber answer.) We just ordered a replacement (another brand) from Home Depot.

Works great. Have had no real issues. Would recommend. Cleaned everything really well. Had buttons. I like buttons. Would be better if there was a TV in it. Its an average dishwasher size. It looks like a nice dishwasher. Its shiny. It had a door. I didnt buy it. It was in the house when I bought it.

Works very well compared to other dishwashers I have used in the past. Have not had any problems at all. The dishes come out very shiny and clean without much rinsing before putting them in the dishwasher. Would highly recommend! It is just the right size for my families needs. Can get everything in there I need to without any problems. Not too large as to wash a load of dishes and have a lot of extra space left. I like the appearance very much. I like the black exterior as it does not show dirt at all so I just clean it once a week whether it looks like it needs it or not. The dishwasher is a great value. Not too expensive as to the average homeowner not being able to afford it. The quality is excellent for the money.

Sometimes it doesnt seem to get the dishes done or clean. Doesnt get them dry. Sometimes I have to redo them even with using the products that it recommends. Its just two of us in the house, it takes a couple of days to get enough to wash. Its small enough for my very small kitchen, it fits in a small space and it is easy to hook up to the garage disposal. Its white and plain. I didnt want anything with too many buttons or too hard to clean. It cleans off without too much effort and I like that. I can just use a cloth to clean the front off. It wasnt high priced so it was easy to purchase. It was very heavy to carry in the house. I liked it cause of its low price since that is how I shop.

It cleans dishes better than any dishwasher Ive ever known. The smart technology does its job in very little time. I love this device. Its comparable to the size of any general dishwasher. Not too big or too small. And all of my dishes fit in one wash. The look of the machine completes the look of my entire kitchen. My kitchen is mostly stainless steel ware. Its sleek and easy to clean. I recommend this dishwasher to all of those with a modernized kitchen. This machine is worth its weight in gold. It was not cheap, but you get your dollars worth. It comes with a great warranty and I believe this dishwasher will last longer than any other on the market.

My Kenmore dishwasher was in the house when we purchased it. It is the best of its kind versus the price. The dishwasher has plenty of room for all of my dirty dishware and silverware to fit. Also, the items came out extremely clean within one washing. It also doesnt require as much dish soap to clean. The dishwasher did produce hot dishes immediately after the cycle would finish. There was no cool down feature. But thats not a major issue.

This Kenmore Elite dishwasher has a nice sleek appearance and does a good job in getting the dishes clean but it has a lot of plastic parts. After 2.5 years of use, the plastic wheels broke, the upper basket plastic parts began to deteriorate and had to be replaced. I felt for the price I paid, I should not have had to repair and replace parts so soon after initial purchase.

I am very pleased with the Kenmore Dishwasher that I purchased some time ago. It is easy to load. Plenty of room for 4 serving size of dinner plates, glasses and all other things used at a family meal. Pots and pans are not a problem. They always come clean. No pre-rinsing is required before loading to have all come out spotless. It is a built in Dishwasher and is the regular size of built-in dishwashers. I dont know the exact dimensions. It is large capacity interior, which will take care of a large amount of dishes, silverware, glasses and pots and pans. The door is easy to open and controls are in a handy location. My Kenmore Dishwasher has a white exterior with silver trim around the top. It matches other kitchen appliances that I have. Everything is well-coordinated which gives good decor. I dont remember just how much I paid for the Kenmore Dishwasher but it was priced right. I purchased at Sears and got financing which made it nice.

It does a good job of cleaning the dishes. It leaves little to no spots on glasses. You need to scrape the dishes real good as to not leave a lot on them. It has enough room to hold all the dishes I use on a typical day. Cannot always fit all dishes in it if I have a lot of company over and use a lot of pots. The color fits in to the decor of my kitchen. Easy to see all controls but small enough not to be overpowering. The overall set up is easy to use. At the time of purchase it was the best value for the money I was willing to spend. Came in a variety of colors and does a good job for the price.

Water heats well... Dishes are not just cleaned but sterilized. Glasses look great as do utensils. Its reliable, easy to use. Convenient. I can get pots and large dishes (like platters) in without problems. Tall glasses fit better on the bottom shelf and I place large serving and cooking spoons, knives and forks flat in the shelf. Nice, clean lines, lights are easy to see and the dials are easy to read. Like the way it compliments my other appliances. Husband likes it well, also as he often loads it. Does a good job w/ economical time and limited water usage. It quickly pays for itself w/ the economical usage and quickness in cleaning.

We are a household of 2 adults, no children. We are probably easier on this appliance (Kenmore Elite Dishwasher) than most busy families, and yet the upper rack rollers break at least once a year. We’ve had it for 5 years and I’ve spent > $125 on replacement parts. The rack rollers are brittle plastic and break easily. When they break, the dishwasher is useless as the tach will no longer align with the ports in the back of the unit. The manufacturer needs to offer a recall or permanent fix with quality materials. The dishwasher is quiet, and cleans well, but is poorly designed as far as the plastic parts are concerned. Ive had cheaper dishwashers last longer without this maintenance problem. This will be my last Kenmore... EVER!

Cleans everything as it should, quiet, saves water. My old dishwasher only used powder so its nice to be able to use more modern and superior cleaners. Makes washing a snap, very happy with it. We have a built in area of the counter that the dishwasher has to fit into and this fits perfectly. It is large enough to keep us from having to do the dishes every day which is nice. Just look at it, a thing of beauty. It looks great in our kitchen, but so did our last dishwasher. I guess most of them all look alike! We feel weve gotten great value with this dishwasher. It does everything weve ever wanted it to do.

Effectively and quickly cleans my dishes even if Ive let them pile up. Its gotten a bit worse over time as it sometimes leaves specks of filth behind, but that could be due to switching detergents. Overall, Im satisfied. It fits under the counter next to the sink, so it doesnt take up too much space. It doesnt stand out and its white color matches my kitchen quite nicely. Ive gotten into a habit of washing dishes by hand to save water, but if Ive been lazy, then it helps me easily catch up, which, when considering that it has lasted a while, makes it a worthwhile investment.

I have a very busy schedule and I am not able to physically wash dishes so I needed something that would ultimately help me in doing so. I decide to look online and see what was the best deal and dishwasher brand for me. I wanted something that was reliable and worked well so I would have no problem doing what I needed to do as a baby sitter. The Kenmore is really great. The features that I like about the dishwasher is that it actually cleans thoroughly.Other dishwashers leave residue on the dishes but this one does not. However, I dont like that it does not hold more dishes that I want it to. Although, all in all, it works well. The reason why I chose Kenmore is because I heard a lot of good things about it from family members and the reviews were great as well. I also thought the pricing was a good value for it. I also love the stainless steel color that they had. I love my Kenmore dishwasher because it is reliable, works fast and does a great job. This dishwasher totally met my expectations!

The dishwasher is a fantastic one. We replaced an older whirlpool with this one and have never been happier. For the price it really will clean almost anything you throw at it.

Cleans dishes thoroughly. Easy to use. With the right dishwashing soap it can remove baked on and stubborn spots. It is very low in the noise department. Not silent but very low. The size of this particular dishwasher is very suitable for my needs. I have to do dishes maybe 3 times a week. I can get all my pans and silverware to fit and even my big plates. I like the stainless steel look. It gives it a more professional feel in my opinion and helps my kitchen look better and makes me feel better about the appearance of it. While this is not the cheapest dishwasher out there it is very good. And remember that old saying you get what you pay for, well thats true in this case.

This dishwasher is quiet and thorough, and you can choose settings based on how dirty your dishes are and whether you want to use less water. Its a great machine. We can get all of our everyday use dishes into the dishwasher. We run it abut every two days when its just our three-person family. We cook and eat almost every meal at home, so it is pretty efficient. Its basic white. The buttons for the settings are easy to read. It fits in with the other white appliances in our kitchen. We like the white, because we painted our kitchen to match our tastes. It was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive dishwasher we looked at. It has done a good job for several years. We like that it has options for using less water and for a turbo zone where you can place items that need an extra blast of water for additional cleaning.

I chose to purchase my Kenmore Dishwasher because, at the time, I was pregnant with my first child, had just gotten our first house, and I was really trying to save money at every chance I could. The Kenmore was a great buy. It was a lower end price point when I bought it, but it worked like a charm. Fantastic dishwasher for a fantastic price. I enjoyed the Kenmore Dishwasher I had because it was very compact, wasnt very loud while being used, and lasted a very long time even with being used everyday, and even sometimes twice a day.

Cleans dishes pretty good but still need Jet Dry as an added helper. The silverware rack can be moved but I do not feel like the silverware gets cleaned as good as it should same with the glasses on the top rack. Dishwasher is average size for a portable. It is a solid black polish with the butcher block top. The top piece that spins to wash the upper dishes needs some better improvements to clean the dishes better and the silverware rack also needs some improving since it seems like the silverware always has a couple pieces that get missed in the wash cycle.

The dishwasher work fine with minimal hardware issues, but the power arm broke one time. We got rid of it when we redid the kitchen and upgrade to a stainless steel version. It look good and held up really well through heavy use in a busy kitchen. I didnt really like the opener but it work well and never leaked. However, it wasnt quite big enough to hold a full day worth of dishes for a family of 5. The glass rack was especially small and the plate rack didnt accommodate enough small plates. Its well worth the price especially on sale and I recommend the extended maintenance agreement. Not worrying about the unit breaking is priceless when you have a pile of kid.

Kenmore appliances are fantastic. Great quality that always work and clean my dishes to perfection. Would recommend to anyone. The way that my dishes come out after being washed is like diamonds. Kenmore are just an overall great brand.

I like the design of both the interior and exterior. The interior is roomy; the exterior is easy to clean. However, I do not feel this dishwasher cleans dishes well as it should, and it has had problems draining completely from the beginning.

Kenmore is recommended to me by someone that bought the brand and was very satisfied by it and I decided to try the brand. The capacity of the dishwasher is of a good quantity and very practical for many plates and cups. It is very convenient and the thoroughness of the washing. It is much better than other brands. But it does not rinse out correctly when the dishwasher is too full and the spacing between the units is cramped up. The stains remain on the glasses and it does cause an inconvenience at times.

At the time we were purchasing a new dishwasher many of the brands were considered. Kenmore had the best pricing and the basic features that we were looking for. The features I love about this Kenmore Dishwashers are that it has really helpful and innovative cleaning cycles that really helps you gets the best kind of clean that you want. I wish that there were more time friendly settings when you want to do a quick load. I think that would be very useful to a lot of people.

The unit does a reasonable job with the daily dishwashing needs. The unit does not perform as well with heavier greased up pots and pans. The unit also falls short if it is filled to its normal capacity.

A Kenmore is a good name brand and product and I feel every house should have a Kenmore dishwasher. You will love it from the First day you use it... Its just like getting a brand new toy. It work well from the first day I brought it until now. I love my new Kenmore and I had it for one year now. Its a good machine and it meets all yours needs and all of its expectations. It get your dishes nice and clean. It dry your dishes very well and you dont have to worry about wet dishes. Just use the right amount of dish detergent, and always use Jet-Dry dish detergent to keep your dishes nice, clean and dry.

This dishwasher looks great and matches the rest of your appliances. The buttons on the front also look very nice and compliment its design. It cleans very well and runs very quietly. It also holds a lot of dishes and it has very nice features. Its easy to load and to unload, and I like that it has buttons on the front that are easy to use. It is a rather high capacity dishwasher. I have a family of six, and I feel like I can easy fill the washer with all of my dishes without trouble. I feel like you are getting a lot of value for the price that you pay.

In ten years weve never had a issue. We bought our Sears Kenmore dishwasher about 10 years ago and we also purchased and have maintained the extended warranty. We take advantage of the annual maintenance visit from Sears and to this day, weve never had a single complaint or issue with the machine. It still works like new. Its why Sears is the first place we go and Kenmore brand are what I look for whenever I need a new appliance.

Service on the dishwasher was good, they came out the next day and fixed the door and it has been working great ever since. I would recommend it to anyone. The serviceman knew his job. Like I said it was fixed in about 15 minutes. Thank You and God Bless Us- all...

We purchased a Kenmore Elite dishwasher serial number FO2117032 in June 2010. Within the year warranty period, some of the labels on the control panel fell off. Sears replaced the panel at no charge. Then about 3 weeks ago, one of the labels fell off. I called Sears repair and spoke to 2 different representatives and they both told me that I would have to pay $129 for labor and diagnosis and the part would be extra. I told them that since this was the 2nd time that this had happened, it must be a defective part. They told me to call another number to see if there was a recall of that part. My husband called and there was no recall. He also was told we would have to pay for service and the part. I feel this is Sears responsibility because some of the other labels are loose also. We feel that the front panel design is defective and will continue to happen.

It saves me time and money and is great for all families especially big families. I love the fact that I can make anything and at the end of the day, I dont have to clean dishes. The size is almost perfect. My family size is big so I love the fact that I can put many dishes into my dishwasher. I can cook lots of things because my dishwasher can handle lots of dishes. It is amazing! The appearance isnt really a big deal to me just as long as it gets the job done. I love the fact that my dishwasher is silver so it blends in with anything. My dishwasher value is perfect. I love its incredible cleaning skills. I love the color. I love the size. Id totally go recommend it to anyone. Its great.

Purchased all new Kenmore Elite Appliances for my new home 5 years ago. Within 3 months our dishwasher just stopped working. Repairman came out and had to order parts. Still didnt work after parts were installed. I was told by Sears if I purchased an extended warranty they would replace it. During this time there was a recall on our Kenmore elite washing machine. Repairman came and replaced recalled part. Washer doesnt clean as well since part has been replaced. Now 3 days before Thanksgiving the Kenmore Elite Refrigerator has just quit cooling. Everything in freezer and refrigerator ruined. Cannot get a repairman until the day after Thanksgiving.

Its horrible. No one will answer. No one will fix anything to you. My kids toys are stronger than this. The fridge and dish washer - they get easily broken.

Worst dishwasher I ever owned. Doesn’t clean, always have to clean spray wand jets out. The detergent door gasket slid out within the first week. Being that I’m a professional plumber, I would not buy Kenmore anymore and further would not call to have any repairs attempted being it’s not worth the time, aggravation on listing to a “ tech” explain to me that things are not warrantied or listen to opinions that make no sense. Garbage brand.

Would gave a 4.5 instead of 4, but you dont have it, and 5 means its perfect, there always room for improvement in my view. Had the dishwasher for 18+ yrs and during that time only had to replace a clogged spray arm at the bottom. A $20.00 parts. DIY. Therefore it does not owes me anything and was money well spent, especially in these days where most mechanical & electronic usually requires a 5 or 10 years warranty extension on something which should last 20 years plus. Thus manufacturer are not really doing a good QC of their products.

We have had this for quite some time and have NEVER had any issues with it. Great qualities, amazing performance, etc. If you need a daily used dishwasher Id recommend this one. We now have a family of seven. It will fit all plates, cups, silverware, pans or pots used to cook dinner plus any extra dishes from lunch or breakfast. Black, shiny, doesnt stand out too much but just enough to look good with any kitchen color. The color has never faded and the buttons still look great. Its value was so worth what we paid. The appearance, size, continence all makes up for the amount we paid. Also the delay start adds a plus to it.

Kenmore is a brand that I know and trust from my youth into my adult age. With that and my understanding and research of other brands, I decided to move forward with the brand I trusted most. All of the features of the dishwasher appeal to me as I had a dumb basic dishwasher previously that could barely operate, so just the basic fact that this operated was a huge improvement over my previous dishwasher. It is cheap and simple but it could improve to work more towards automation and clean smart washing of dishes to allow for varying loads which use the most efficient water based on load. And on smart cleaning, if it could sense and focus on items which it may see as the most dirty for more cleaning than the other dishes.

It does not always clean as well as I would like it to as sometimes it leaves hard water on the dishes and makes them look like they arent clean. It is a fine size and fits just like our old one did in the cabinet. I believe it is a standard size and it fits our familys needs. It is not too small or too big. We have a stainless front dishwasher and I like the appearance of it, although I would also like it if it wasnt stainless because all of my other appliances are black. I think it was a great value and worth the money we spent. We got it for a discount because it was damaged. If it had been full price, I would likely be disappointed because it doesnt always clean as well as it should.

Cleans the dishes as good as the high dollar washer without the price. I bought Home Cheapo dishwasher that lasted about a week after its warranty. I have always bought Kenmore before and will buy another if needed. This one is only 4 years old now.

We bought this dishwasher (Sears Kenmore Dishwasher Model 66513409N410) 11/2014 & are extremely disappointed. We paid 549.99 sale price & thinking that it was smarter to pay a bit more for a better product. NOT SMART AT ALL!!! It doesnt clean very well and the motor stopped working after only 1 year and 2 months... We cant afford a new one so we hard to order a new motor for $68 to replace it. We do not recommend it... This is the 2nd Sears dishwasher in 4 years. 1st was cheaper and didnt last long either. NEVER AGAIN BUYING AT SEARS... They could not do anything to help me with this situation. UGHHH Lesson Learned!!

It stacks easy, everything has a lot of space. You can put extra if need the extra room. If you give an dinner party you need not to worry, maybe just 2 loads will clean everything. Large room for every dish, glass and even a few pans. It is easy to load. Everything will be clean. No need to prewash. Just rinse off and load. The great part is your plates will sparkle just like your glassware, pots and pan are clean. Sleek, up to date goes well with any decor style you have. It fits very well with new updated modern, it goes well with any color you have, glass, wood, marble, tiles. Or just painted walls. It fits well with everything you can think of. The way that this work horse work, its worth a lot more than the asking price. If you just look at the style, the amount you can load into it, the job it do, the beauty of it. And it use less water.

I found a really good price on the pair. Although it doesnt sing and dance like some of the expensive models, it works just fine. I have had the pair for about 5 years with no problems. I like the chemical dispenser which is in the right place and easy to pop out and stick in the dishwasher.

This dishwasher handled the families washing loads without breaking. It cleaned the dishes and was not overly noisy. It functioned as well as any dishwasher I have owned. This dishwasher was a 24 inch built in and it handled the dishwashing needs of a family of four. We ran it several times a week and it functioned well. I never noticed the appearance so I guess that means it blended in well with the other appliances and cabinetry. I believe the panel was a stainless steel or a dark finish. The perceived value of the Kenmore dishwasher that we had was that we were satisfied with it. It functioned adequately. It cleaned the dishes and glasses and utensils. We never had it breakdown while we owned it.

It was easy to figure out and use. I had no problems with the quality of cleaning and I would recommend the dishwasher to someone buying one. The size was adequate and I was able to wash my large pans and casserole dishes in it. Fitting oversized objects usually requires strategy, but my experience with this model did not present that problem. It coordinated easily with my kitchen and was visually pleasing . The control panel was legible and easy to use and understand. Other models were available, but I was satisfied with my selection. Comparable brands did not offer the value that I have found with the Kenmore brand. The quality of the product offers is consistently above standard and has always maintained its value.

Ive had this dishwasher for a while and I love it. My dishes never break and they always come out clean. I dont have to rewash them because of leftover food residue. Its very reliable and easy to use. Even my children love it. My dishwasher perfectly suits my households needs. I normally run it in the morning after breakfast and in the evening after dinner. The only time I have to run it more than once night is when I have holiday or dinner parties. Other than that all my dishware and cooking ware usually fits in one setting. As far as my dishwashers appearance goes, I think it is very nice looking. It blends in with my kitchen and it is very easy to clean. I actually think it makes my kitchen look nicer. I think its a great buy for its value. It wasnt ridiculously expensive as I thought it would be to purchase a dishwasher. It works great and has all the feature I was hoping for. Also Kenmore is a very well known and great brand.

This dishwasher is a medium price appliance which performs like a more expensive model. It is quiet and is thorough in cleaning. I have had it for nine years.

This appliance was easy to install. It doesnt use a lot of water. There is plenty of room to stock up all of my dishes. I think I got a great dishwasher. Thank you. There is room for all or most of my entire collection of plates, bowls, utensils, cups, etc. It does the job every time, in a quick amount of time, every time. This was a good buy. Snazzy design. Simple, compact, easy to use. I purchased the black model. Its modern look, fits well with todays kitchen trend. Whoever created the blueprints for this is a genius! Affordable. You get what you pay for. But with this, I got much more than I bargained for.

The Kenmore dishwasher uses a reasonable amount of energy and water. The dishes come out clean after one wash. I never have to run it more than once a day. Plus, there is enough room to hold several days worth of dishes. It fits well in my kitchen without taking up too much cabinet space. Its sleek and looks classy. The clean look goes well any time of the year with any aesthetic changes I make based on upcoming holidays, events, etc. It is worth the money for the quality. The features help pay for itself over the years. If bought again, I would make the same purchase.

It was a marvelous dishwasher. Very fast and efficient and left everything sparkling clean. The best dishwasher Ive ever owned. Would definitely recommend. It was very spacious and I never had an issue with loading it with my many dishes. It had large space and I could put several pots in it without an issue. I loved how sleek and modern it looked. It fit in well with the overall design of my home. I dont like old looking appliances and this one met my standards. The reliability and efficiency of this dishwasher is very well worth the price you pay! It pays for itself in mere months. This model was very valuable to to me.

This is a very basic looking dishwasher. It is not top of the line stainless steel but it gets the job done. The reason for purchasing this model was the price point. It is a good value and gets the job done. The size of this dishwasher fit nicely in my already small kitchen without taking up too much extra space. It was not too bulky or wide. While the run was rather long, the dishwasher itself worked OK. I did not have to do a lot of prewashing before loading into dishwasher.

I re-piped the home in 2006 so I bought the best hot water heater available, a Kenmore 55 gal 12-year warranty. Sometime during 2010 the tank had a small leak. Sears Technician came out and said I could go pickup another tank at the local store in Ft. Myers, Florida. No problem. Trip to Lowes for a few parts then to Sears for a new tank then bam, it is installed.Sometime towards the end of February 2013 my wife said the tank was leaking on the floor. No big deal, I made 5 phone calls to 800-877-6420 just to setup the 1st tech appointment. A week later the Service-Technician came & said I had a cracked anode-rod, so he order another and rescheduled install appointment for 3/12/14, approximately 2-weeks later. Again no big deal, its a slowww leak somewhere on the top of the tank. But, on Saturday 3/8/14 the tank ruptured sometime in the night. I was awoke around 7:30 am by my neighbor telling me that water was flowing out of my garage and down the street. I shut off the main water valve and started calling the 800-877-6420 number again. Each time I called I was transferred to someone that could not help me. On the 3rd call someone recommended I called back 8:30-9:00 am, maybe the department was not open yet. At this point, I have been waiting for ~ 3 weeks for a hot-water-heater to be repaired. Where is the service? I wanted a Technician visit today but was given an appointment for Monday. I have a wife and 2 kids (6 y.o and 10 month) and it is winter in Florida. Yes its warm during the day. While the wife and I could survive without hot water the kids would not be so happy. Remember, I turned off the main-water-valve to stop the flood, so there is no water to flush toilets, dishes or laundry. The house was built in 1985. I have added valves now so we will be able to isolate the hot water heater in the future. Where is the service? With no water I went to Sears and bought another heater and installed it this Saturday.Service-Technician (very nice) came Monday 3/10/14 and confirmed ruptured tank and changed my $80. The Technician said I may have a faulty ground-wire so since I was paying him I asked him to check it. The wire turned out normal. Why do I need to pay? Whatever, paying $80 is worth getting my $500 back that I paid for the replacement on Saturday. Today is Tues 3/11/14 and I have not been contacted for my tank replacement. Where is the service? If I had not replaced the tank over the weekend we would still be without water (hot or cold). From what I can tell the service issues start with 1) the employees that answer the phones (it really takes more than 1 phone call for service?). 2) The lack of urgency to correct the problem (It takes weeks). 3) The lack of follow through on service. Im told this is season and this is the reason Sears is behind. I would suggest triage service calls.As a side note that is semi funny: When I bought the new hot-water-heater this Saturday I was asked if I wanted a Service protection plan. I declined stating that it takes Sears to long to fix such an important machine. We had to turn off the main-water-valve to the entire house. Where is the service. Think of it this way. Would you like to pay an extra $150.00 on top of the cost of the hot-water-heater and wait 3 plus weeks for service?

I would not get another water heater from Sears. My hot water heater is seven years old and started leaking with two years left on the warranty. I had no hot water and had water all over the basement floor and called a local plumber to replace the tank so we can shower, wash dishes etc. When I called the warranty department, the service rep. notified me that because I had the tank changed with a new one, the warranty for the existing tank is void, even though I have the pictures of standing water in the basement and the defective water tank is still in the basement. Please, what should I have done? Have the water tank leak and do more damage to my basement and have no hot water for a week until your tech gets there? This is a joke of a hot water heater warranty. Go buy your next hot water tank from Lowes or Home Depot, you are much better off.
