My new CR arrived with DW tests. Bosch and Kenmore swept the top honors, and deservedly so. I'm a little mystified by the text comments about the Frigidaire 3450. On my machine (3460), the Turbo Boost setting is an option you can choose, not a cycle in itself. They noted their tough load didn't get cleaned well using the Turbo Boost cycle, which "cut almost an hour off the usual cycle time". (It's a 50-minute cycle) On my machine, the short cycle is called Speed Clean. It automatically chooses the Turbo Boost option. I've used the Speed Clean cycle with a full load of very dirty dishes with great results. However, unlike CR, I didn't let the load sit overnight. I also have soft water, which may make a difference. The overall rating for the machine is still almost excellent, even though it came in 18th in the ratings. | ||

Was the Kenmore a Bosch or Whirlpool made model? | ||

I believe the top 2 or 3 Kenmore models were Whirlpool-made and the $1,250 Kenmore Elite appeared to be a Bosch model, as it didn't have a self-cleaning filter. A whole slough of the top 12 models were either Whirlpool or Bosch-derived. Also of interest, Whirlpools had the best frequency-of-repair ratings, while KitchenAid (which I believe is made by Whirlpool, right?) had the worst repair rate among domestic models. | ||
