Kenmore, the largest dishwasher brand in this country, is known for its reliability and dependability and has three lines: Kenmore, Kenmore Elite, and Kenmore Pro. Prices range from approximately $250 for a basic Kenmore model to $1,600 for the double-drawer dishwasher in stainless steel ($1,400 in white). Major features such as the TurboZone power-scrubbing mode tend to be shared among the higher-priced Kenmore models ($650 and up) and the Elite models.

Comment:
This is a review on the Kenmore 665-1348 Ultra. I bought it in June 2010 and wrote a review on it in July 2010 (in this forum under the nickname SkepTic)) giving it 4 stars. I am now rescinding 3 of those stars - thus giving this 1 star.<br /><br />18 months after we bought it the control panel went out. The problem symptom was that when you pressed the start button, nothing would happen. I had an appliance repair shop fix it - it took 8 days to get the part in and cost me 1/3 of what I originally paid for the whole DW. Then 14 months later the same symptom started appearing periodically. It seems that the control panel was again going out.<br /><br />The Kenmore headquarters was of no help. The CSR at Kenmore's 1-800 number told me someone would call me back to work something out, but of course nobody called me back. I went to both a home improvement warehouse retailer and my local Kenmore store in search of a new DW and a deal because I was not going to stick another $260 into this less than 3 year old Kenmore.<br /><br />The home improvement warehouse store didn't have much of a selection and a sales rep was nowhere to be found. The Kenmore retailer had a good selection (of OTHER makes) and was willing to give me an extra 10% off a replacement because of my Kenmore experience. So this time I bought a Kitchenaid (based on friends' experiences and recommendations).<br /><br />The control panel in the Kenmores is located next to a heat/steam vent. I suspect when the steam/heat vents during the drying cycle it leaks into and condenses onto the control panel and corrodes the contacts.<br /><br />So my Kenmore DW didn't even make it to the 3 year mark. This was an expensive mistake. I didn't buy the extended warranty because the sales people push them too hard and I resent having to pay protection money for a durable good that should be durable.<br /><br />This time I VERY reluctantly and resentfully bought the service agreement.

Comment:
We bought a model 1392[9] new in November 2010. We use this dishwasher 3-4 times per week on average. It cleans well, is quiet, and efficient.<br />That said, the front control panel for the model is defective. The original control panel buttons started not responding and the indicator lights would remain lit after cleaning cycle completion. Unplugging and replugging the unit would reset the panel and it would work for a day or so, but eventually quit working.<br />We have had the control panel replaced 2 times for the same recurring problem and have the service repairman coming again for the same problem. The word from the repairmen we've seen, This is a frequent problem for this model.<br />Bottom line - defective design. Don't buy it unless you like visiting with the repairman every couple months.
