So you could resist the temptation of cheaper price?
Don't think we get Kenmore stuff up here.
We had a spike in our electricity bill in the last 1/4, which I am
contributing as being the dishwashers fault, cycle seems to take longer
than it used to.
Current quality dishwashers use less power and water than they did, some
even internally recycle water. I think it works by saving the water from
the final rinse cycle and using that in the next load.

I think I must have read the same CR report, and purchased the same
dishwasher. Wife is VERY happy with it. Our experience mirrors Gregs.

We just replaced an old whirlpool a few months back. I went with a
higher-end Kenmore because it was listed as the best (of those tested) as
well as a best buy by Consumer Reports. I am actually surprised by how
good
it is!
Consumer reports says that a SS tub is a waste of money; the plastic tub
will outlast all other elements of the machine. Based on my experience, I
agree.
The Kenmore has a lot more room than our previous washer, and the racks are
well thought out and very adjustable. It even has provision for stemware!
Their instructions say not to pre-rinse (only scrape) as it is not
necessary
and a waste of water. To my surprise this is accurate! My cousin has a
commercial grade $2K machine, one of a batch he bought at auction. He is
very proud of this machine, which is nearly silent and completes its cycle
in just a few minutes. He has to pre-rinse though, and his dishes do not
always come out as clean as mine!
I actually have seen a substantial reduction in our utility bills since
installing this item. I wonder if this can be coincidence.
I am not any sort of fan of Sears, just a very satisfied user of this
appliance!

Subject: [MBZ] OT Good, better, Bosch dishwashers
Our Whirlpoo dishwasher is making some expensive noises and I might have
to get another one, or wash the dishes by hand, which takes me half a day.
I am going to look at a S/H Bosch machine on Saturday, as it seems Bosch
are the best ones unless you want to spend a squillion.
Any experience with Bosch dishwashers? Some people say that the quality
of the Bosch washers is going downhill as they try to cut costs by
manufacturing low end machines in Turkey.
I pulled the bottom of our current dishwasher and tested the pump, all
seems to be working.
