 Thanks, Pete. Their new line is very shiny and impressive looking. I was in Sears just this morning and I was surprised to see how plain and boring the white-goods department has become at this store, and the other West O store a few weeks ago. Looks like they just lined up the appliances back to back in aisles and walked away. Very few signs or displays to speak of, what there was just said "laundry" or Kenmore and most of the short-wall dividers between the aisles are gone. Perhaps they are readying for a re-do of those fixtures but given the state of the financial reports from Sears and Kmart, maybe they're paring down for the going out of business sale.

Time Display Peter,
Do any of the Kenmore front panel dishwashers display the cycle time? This is not mentioned in the specifications, and I can't tell from the photographs. Thanks. | ||

display cycle time Model #13252, available in Septemberr, MAY have some sort of digital display feedback for cycle length. The comparable Kitchenaid has a series of bars that equal to bout 16 or 24 minutes. Sears did away with cycle countdown in like the 2nd or 3rd generation of tall tubs. Customers supposedly said it was a nuisance or a feature they dind't care about. | ||

Time Display!
It was disappointing to me they did away with the digital display. It was at the end of the 2nd series of TT machines that they removed them like Bob said. But I don't believe it was a consumer preference. I did buy the TT kenmore 10 years ago when I redone my kitchen. It only lasted a year and a half. It had the digital display and the electronic board burnt out twice. I fought with sears to get them to change it for a TT GE that I am happy with. However I am sorry I got rid of my power clean whirlpool. Nothing can outwash that one. All these appliance companies have made so many steps backwards in the last several years. It is really ashame!

Thanks appnut and Peter!
When you have no idea how long the dishwasher has been running, or will be running (as when someone else has started the machine), such a feature is anything but a nuisance. Thanks again for the information. | ||

Dishwasher Run Time!
Yes I agree - it is more like common sense and they use next to none of it when making these appliances. At one time they were looking at the consumer now they don't. The fact that these dishwashers and washers run as long as they do makes them obsolete in my openion. Plus so many of them don't get the dishes clean and these new TL energy efficent washers are rough on the clothes. So I ask everyone how far have we progressed? When I was in sears the other day I was speaking to the sales person and laughed at the 2 plus grand kenlg tol washer and said how many people have bought this? She said next to none. She also said she isn't supposed to say anything bad. Amazing how they just dont get the fact that consumers miss and want simplicity. And of course reasonable prices. Now a days we don't find any of that and they are all trying to pass off garbage.
The only thing I could think of that was worse is when white consolidated destroyed frigidaire and tried to pass off their products as quality products! Peter | ||

LACK OF TIME DISPLAY You got that right Malcolm, I can't think of any other information that I would like my DW to tell me except WHEN WILL IT FINELY END. LOL. They sure aren't going to tell you what it is actually doing any more [ 1st wash , 2nd rinse, heating water, etc ] I think they think the customer is too stupid to understand what goes on inside a DW. I think this is why when our customers call us with a problem they can't begin to tell us what is wrong, because they no longer have any idea what goes on inside the machine in the first place. | ||

Dishwasher manual filter clean every 4-6 months Ew.
I sense mixed messages from this. Either A) you should rinse the filter after every load, and 4-6 months is the super-heavy-scrubbing filter cleaning interval, or B) they really do assume that the amount of crud buildup in the filter that begins to affect wash performance is marginal and only requires addressing at that point.
In which case, double ew.
If there's a filter there, and there isn't some sort of cleaning mechanism, then it's not entirely truthful that the dishwater stays "clean." It may be free of large particles, but if it's pulling all the otherwise pristine-looking water through last month's Pad Thai that is completely immobilized in the filter, then blecch. | ||

I hate the Kenmores because,for some strange reason, they have an issue with clear glass windows.Why would they take the time and energy as well as cost to make the SEE THROUGH glass windows so dark there is no way to clearly see anything???? Just proves there are those customers out there who just buy the appliances for looks,not performance.

me over the years and since 1993 i learn that with my actual dishwasher i must keep the high temp option active and sometime activate when i need it the steam sanitize rinse option of my dishwasher to get optimal cleaning power, and the cycle i use is Smart wash option i use turbo zone high temp wash option and on rare occasion steam sanitize but i use the no heat dry option for drying.
