The Kenmore 13002 cuts the frills, keeps the cleaning power
This dishwasher is plain, white and cheap, but it’s what’s inside that counts.
Cheap and effective
The $400 Kenmore 13002 dishwasher keeps the frills to a minimum so you can get performance power for less.
Pick your cycle
The 13002 has a fine mix of standard cycles.
The bottom rack
None of the tines are foldable, but you can still fit plenty of dishes.
The top rack
Our bowls were a little cramped on the upper rack.
Detergent dispenser
Get everything set, and the dishwasher runs a normal cycle in less than two hours.
Primary wash arms
The arms on the bottom of the tub and beneath the upper rack do a good job of getting water into the crevices of dishes.
Performance scores
The 13002 cleans as well as dishwashers that cost two to three times as much.
The Kenmore 13002
You won't get any features to speak of on this entry level model, but the Kenmore 13002 helps you clean up your kitchen on a budget.
