The only hiccup was the noticeable amount of burnt cheese that was left behind while we were testing the Pots & Pans cycle, but that is a test very few dishwashers can ace. Most of the dishes came out clean and dry, and there were virtually no instances of redeposit, indicating a competent and thorough filtration process. The drawback to this feature is longer cycle times-We found a Normal Wash can take more than three hours and Pots & Pans can take up to four hours if on default settings. Kenmore says it adjusts drying times based on internal moisture sensors. Most of the 14793’s cycles engage the Smart Dry option by default. Performance Long cycle times leave you high and dry-and that’s not a bad thing. It needs to be deliberately held for 3 seconds in order to activate, so it’s pretty hard to trigger by accident. Finally, a Cancel button provides an easy way to stop a cycle. There’s also TurboZone, Hi Temp Wash, and Sani Rinse to further customize how a cycle washes, and Control Lock and Sound Off options. Top Rack Only and Bottom Rack Only lets you wash half a load without using as many resources, and a Delay that can be set for up to 24 hours will start the machine during off-peak hours, potentially cutting electricity costs. Our tests found that the 14793 uses an average amount of power and water under its default settings, but this dishwasher actually offers many ways to squeeze a bit more efficiency out of it.
#Sears stainless steel dishwasher full
This dishwasher also has the flexible, soil sensor-based Smart Wash cycle, China Gentle to for delicate dishes, and Quick Rinse to spray and refresh old dishes or keep a load from smelling bad before you’re ready to run a full cycle. On the 14793, Normal Wash, Pots & Pans, and Express Wash cover the three most common dishwashing needs. Thankfully, they can be folded out of the way. However, both of these extras feel cheaper and flimsier than the rest of the rack, and you’re not likely to get much use out of them without sacrificing space for mugs and glasses. The upper rack glides out smoothly and has a pair of stemware holders and a fold-down cup shelf. We found room for 11 standard place settings and a single serving setting inside the 14793. Chances are when this Kenmore inevitably goes on sale, you’ll be getting your money’s worth. However, the three-piece cutlery basket offers maximum flexibility when it comes to loading silverware, and the upper rack has a height adjustment mechanism.
There’s no third rack, for instance, and there aren’t too many collapsible tines to be found. A staunch minimalist might take issue with the blatant Kenmore Elite emblem on the front, but it won’t be a problem for buyers who already have other Elite appliances in their kitchen.įor its MSRP, this Elite feels a bit lacking when it comes to loading features.
The rest of the body, inside and out, is stainless steel. Those who want a clean exterior are in luck, because this Kenmore’s control panel is hidden on top of the door. They all combine to make sure every dish gets a healthy dose of water. And the TurboZone high-intensity spray jets at the back of the tub blast stains off serving dishes, pots, and pans. The row of jets lining the walls are aimed at glassware on the top rack. The 360° PowerWash spray arm dominating the bottom of the tub can spin both clockwise and counterclockwise for optimal coverage. If you could crawl inside the 14793, it would be like stepping into a water park. Design & Usability Water jets everywhere. However, we've seen it on sale for as low as $1,169, so keep an eye out for sharp discounts. It doesn’t offer quite as many interior perks as other high-end dishwashers, such as a third rack or interior lights.
Dishes came out very clean, superior filtration washed away food scraps, and water and power usage were at average levels. Our lab tests found that the waterworks aren't just for show, either. The new TurboZone Reach high-intensity sprayers and wall-mounted jets combine with the unique 360° PowerWash spray arm to provide total, complete water coverage. With its race car red accents, this dishwasher’s interior aesthetics give a sense of ambition, competence, and power.
