Kenmore 13743 built-in dishwasher

Date Published: 3/31/08

Kenmore's 13743 built-in dishwasher packs a powerful punch at a moderate price. With an attractive appearance and impressive cleaning capabilities, this model is among the top-rated in the industry.

The 13743 utilizes Kenmore's TurboZone technology. A special zone in the bottom rear of the dishwasher is reserved for the most heavily soiled or baked-on dishes. Rotating jets in this area literally blast the dirt away, removing even the most stubborn stains. With the TurboZone feature, there's no need to pre-soak or scrub dishes. Furthermore, dishes not in the special zone can be washed simultaneously, in a regular wash cycle.

Equipped with Kenmore's SmartWash sensor, the 13743 monitors its wash load and automatically adjusts the length and water usage of the cycle accordingly. This results in significant water and energy savings, especially for lighter loads. This unit not only washes dishes well, but also washes them in quantity. The giant tub can accommodate more than 14 place settings. With an adjustable top rack and fold-down tines in the bottom, this model is versatile as well as spacious.

An attractive model, the 13743 comes in stainless steel, but also is offered in black, white or bisque. This wide selection of options ensures that the dishwasher will complement any kitchen. While the control panel is not fully integrated into the door, it does have a striking, high-tech appearance.

Featuring Kenmore's QuietGuard Deluxe technology this dishwasher is seen and just barely heard, operating at a very tolerable 58dB. An extremely effective, energy-efficient model, this dishwater is also considered attractive by most buyers. Kenmore's 13743 makes a good choice for just about any budget and kitchen.


Pros: Extra large capacity, TurboZone technology, quiet, attractive, moderate price, energy efficient, sensor, adjustable top rack
Cons: Plastic tub, non-removable top rack
