Kenmore’s Elite line represents their top-tier home performance, and this 24-inch built-in dishwasher delivers on that promise. It’s engineered for the quiet, high-capacity clean that modern kitchens demand, operating at a library-quiet 42 dBA. The fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish is a practical touch, keeping the facade looking clean with minimal effort.

UltraWash Plus is the core of its cleaning power, using three pressurized spray arms and a dedicated filtration system. In practice, this means it handles baked-on pans and dried-on oatmeal with equal authority. The SmartWash feature automatically adjusts the cycle time and intensity based on soil levels, so you don’t have to guess. After the wash, the TurboDry system uses heated air to ensure plastics and glass come out completely dry, eliminating the need for hand-toweling.

Practicality is a major strength. The TurboFlex third rack adds significant space for utensils and can be folded aside for taller items below, while the adjustable main racks accommodate up to 15 place settings. It’s ENERGY STAR certified for efficiency. The main limitation is the lack of a dedicated sanitize cycle, though the High Temp wash option provides a similar function for most needs.
