Kenmore 13742

by Jemmer Pablo
(Santa Clara, CA, USA)

We’d had Kenmore 13742 Built-In Dishwasher in 2 years now and it has worked perfectly. Its 24 inch tall and white color. It perfectly fits the motif of our kitchen which is all white, representing cleanliness.

This ENERGY STAR qualified appliance and TurboZone with Rotating Spray Jets cleans dirty, baked-on dishes. Just shoved all those dirty and hard to clean plates and even bottles and voila! Your day is done.

The exclusive technology virtually eliminates the need to soak and scrub hard-to-clean dishes. It has also Ultra Wash and SmartWash for exceptional cleaning results.

The Giant Tub capacity unlike our previous one creates more wash space and a True Hold door provides easier loading and unloading. The Delay Wash cycle starts the wash at convenient intervals and the nylon racks protect against rusting.

It also has NSF Certified Sani Rinse option eliminates 99.99% of bacteria something our old one did not have.

The QuietGuard Deluxe sound insulation system maintains peace and quiet in the kitchen makes me forget to check if its already finish working!.

This is better than the last one we had as it was so noisy and sometimes, there remains some hard to remove dirts that were stucked in deep edges of bottle caps.

An efficient well rounded machine
by: Anonymous

Pros
- Cheap
- Efficient

Cons
- Not as many features as other models
- Has a plastic tub

I finally got tired of washing all of my dishes by hand. However, I am not the richest person on earth so I wanted to find a dishwasher that was cheap and efficient. (A rare feat) I began my search at my local Sears store.

While strolling down the aisles, the price tag of the Kenmore 13742 caught my eye. Most of the washing machines cost between $800.00 - $2000.00 dollars. However, the Kenmore only cost $600.00 dollars. The Kenmore wasn’t flashy looking but looked to be on the same level as some of the more expensive brands in terms of its cleaning abilities.

I couldn’t help but wonder why this seemingly well-rounded washing machine was only $600.00. I decided to buy this bargain right then and there. When I got it up and running at home it ran great. My dishes came out looking pristine and it was relatively quiet for a washing machine. (You still hear the noise but it’s not a distraction at all) For the money the Kenmore 13742 is a great deal.

However, after a few weeks I discovered why the machine was sold at such an amazing price. The tub of the dishwasher is made out of plastic instead of stainless steel. Over time it can become an eyesore. Nonetheless, I did not buy my Kenmore so it could look pretty I bought it to efficiently wash my dishes; and it does that job wonderfully.

Although it may not win any awards for looks it sure as heck should win some for its great price and efficiency!

major rack problems
by: Anonymous

The bottom rack has adjustable tines in the very back. The piece of plastic that holds the tines in place catches on the wall of the dishwasher making it pop off every time you pull it out. Very annoying and renders those tines useless. I will be returning it. It washes good though once you get it in there. I have read two other reviews that have had the same problem.
