Out, dam*ed GE!! Kenmore's comin' home!

by pick2 , Feb 10 '03
Pros: Styling, features, cleaning effectiveness, oversize stainless tub, touch pad controls.
Cons: Door gasket.
Blabber

Very often, good products are rare as hen's teeth. For you non-agrarian types, hens have fewer teeth than horses have toes. But that's not to say there aren't a few diamonds in the coal bucket . . . you just sometimes...

Pros: Stylish, good rack system
Cons: Leaking!
I have had my Kenmore Elite Dishwasher for about 5 years now. I was so excited to get it as it was my first major appliance in my new home.

I picked this model because I liked all the features it has.

Elite is Aptly Named

by shatz , May 15 '02
Pros: Large capacity, versatile loading, and very quiet.
Cons: Too many wash cycles
My review is on the current Elite Model 665 with the controls on the top edge of the door. This model is made by Bosch,or so I was told, one of the top rated dishwashers by CR. It is similar in construction and features to the Elite model with controls...

Kenmore Elite 16939

by stimpyjo , Mar 16 '02
Pros: Quiet, large capacity, loading flexibility, visible timer, programmable delay
Cons: Silverware basket in annoying location
Having spent six years using an incredibly loud Hotpoint dishwasher with little more than an on/off switch, I was an easy sell when the Sears guy recommended the Kenmore Elite. My first priority was quiet operation, but I didn't want to pay the $1000+ ...

Pros: Noise, Appearance, Ease of Use, Loading Flexibility

Recently, my wife and I bought our first house. We searched high and low, and finally found one that not only had all of the major repairs done in the last 5 years (new roof, hot water heater, furnace, central air, etc.) but it came with all of the...

Excellent Elite: High End Built-in Dishwasher from Kenmore

by jsquarejj Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 08 '01
Pros: Cleans very well, more energy efficient than previous generation, looks good.
Cons: Can't handle tall stemware
Last October (2000), we replaced our 15-year old KitchenAid with a Sears Kenmore Elite built-in dishwasher (model number 15989). It wasn't our first choice, but it's what we ended up with after a minor hassle I'll relate later to those who are...

Cons: Could use a better disposal.
Sears Kenmore Quiet Supreme Dishwasher

When we lost our dishwasher(s) 8 years ago due to school, social activities and jobs, we decided we had to get a new one or mom and dad would be doing the dishes. We didn't have time either. (This may be...

UPDATE: (after 1 1/2 years) Where is the service/ support?

by dkarmol , Apr 13 '00
Pros: Lots of options- can do anything
Cons: Must read the manual to figure it all out; Don't lose it!!
We bought the mid-range Kenmore Dishwasher- No. 665-15812990. In layman's terms, that is Sears five cycle unit, that retails for around 469, and was on sale for 399. We also bought the $99 installation, and wanted white, which is $20 extra. The total...

by laura_denton , Dec 12 '99
Pros: quiet, , well worth the money spent
Cons: there is not one that i could find
Kenmore Model number is 16665, and would recommend it to anyone. It is one of the most reliable dishwashers to be found. I use to sell them to make my living through Sears, but did not take there word as they push Kenmore. I wanted to find out for...

Horrible Dishwashers, but good customer service :-\

by dr_michael , Apr 02 '02
Pros: Quiet, reasonably well built, good styling.
Cons: MANY! Doesn't clean or dry for starters!
I really wonder about Consumer Reports. This isn't the first occasion I've bought a top-rated product, only to be horribly disappointed.

Just to clarify, the dishwasher I bought was the Kenmore 71919. As best as I can tell, this is...

Poor reliability

by ginnyf2 , Nov 21 '02
Pros: Relatively quiet. Cleans well. Connects to the garbage disposal.
Cons: Long cycle. Mugs don't fit well in it. Breaks down.
We bought our Kenmore Elite dishwasher, model 665 15939 December 29th, 2000. The following August, thankfully while still under warranty, the control panel stopped working. This required two trips by the repairman: One to diagnose, the other to fix...

Good dishwasher but not worth the money

by lindacasey , Apr 14 '02
Pros: Delayed Wash Feature, Hard Food Disposal, top rack is removable
Cons: Poor Quality - repairs required with light use
We purchased our Kenmore dishwasher (model#665.15919001) because of a great review on Consumer Reports and some really neat features. It's a good dishwasher - the hard food disposal is great, so is the delayed wash feature. But was it worth the extra...

by Mawsqaw , Feb 08 '01
Pros: Four cycles and three water levels get my dishes really clean
Cons: None
The Kenmore Elite is my third Kenmore dishwasher and by far the best yet. It cost a little more than the rest of them, but it is well worth the money.
This dishwasher has four wash cycles and three heat options. It also has three levels of water,...

by dwest2314 , Jul 17 '01
Pros: Loads of great features, ease of use, stainless interior.
Cons: A little on the pricey side.
My wife and I purchased the Kenmore Elite model 16912 a month ago and I wanted to let those considering this model know how it stacks up. Coming from a GE "contractor grade" model, we have a lot to be pleased with in the new machine.

Talk about quiet! I never knew a dishwasher could be so quiet. This is the best dishwasher I have ever owned. The last one I owned was in the house when we bought it in December, and I knew right away it had to GO. So, after shopping around and comparing...

Sears gave us this for the warranty on the one we bought.

by kesac , May 19 '02
Pros: Quiet
Cons: It doesn't clean. The door seal comes loose about once a week, and leaks.
We bought a dishwasher from Sears a few years back, that had a plastic tub, that was guaranteed to never leak. it cleaned great, was quiet, and did everything we wanted it to.
Then one day, the heating element melted a hole in the tub.

by scootles , Oct 11 '06
Pros: Looks and works great for 6 months
Cons: After that it falls apart
We purchased this dishwasher 5 years ago. It certainly worked well for the first 9 months. Since then, a fuse in the panel blew out, which was $75, the gasket is coming off so the dishwasher leaks, the heating coil no longer works so it doesn't dry the ...

I love my washer. It is a good washer. It looks good when it is clean. It looks bad when it is not.
It holds a good size load. It cleans very well. It scrubs my little pots and it cleans residue free my little glasses.

quiet? very. frustrating? very.
by portlandmom ,Nov 04 '06
Pros: Quiet
Cons: Faulty gasket design
We liked the large stainless tub and the food grinder, but the tub gasket has been a problem from the beginning. It comes loose regularly and then the door won't close. It comes out on the top and catches on the top shelf when it is slid out, sometimes coming off completely. I have repeatedly cleaned it (a nasty job) and reinstalled, but the problem persists causing occasional leaks and maintenance before every load. Argh!
