I work for Sears.I sell these all day.The higher end Kenmores are the best for the money.The kenmore are always in the top 10 in consmer reports.I always tell my customers to get the 3 year warranty.If you dont use it in the 1st year you can can.and get all your money back.Make sure you tell the salesperson everything you want the dishwasher to do.if you have questions I might be able to answer just let me know.Good luck.:)
