Kenmore Elite is no longer the best brand on the market and I highly doubt that this is actually stainless steel. So now as you can see in the attached pictures, the appliances are coming up with bad rust, are not working correctly and are less than a year old. ![]() ![]() Not to mention that fridge magnets do not stay on the fridge or freezer (shouldn’t magnets stick to stainless?). Within 2 months, small rust spots started to appear. They came out of the box to be installed the week of labor day and looked brand new as they should. The appliances were delivered and sat in storage in a garage for 6 months without rust. Kenmore Elite was for a full size refrigerator, full size freezer, electric convection double oven, dish washer and microwave. So we decided to remodel our house and add all new appliances. Kenmore Elite appliances are supposed to be the best appliances you can buy. We have been Sears customers for 30+ years. ![]() In April of 2012, we purchased all new Kenmore Elite appliances. Mostly, though, it’s the rust that bothers them. Not that they would begin to rust after only a few months and not do their jobs properly. They believed that Kenmore Elite appliances were, well, elite. Like many Americans, the Arglex family have been loyal Sears customers for decades. Reader Arglex recently remodeled their home and replaced all of the appliances. Minus the control panel, this Elite's usability is impressive.11.5.12 8:53 AM EDT By Laura Northrup appliances kenmore stainless steel rust kenmore elite We could fit 11 standard place settings and a serving setting inside the 14743, and the highly flexible interior makes it easy to fit some non-standard stuff. Say what you will about the lackluster exterior, but the 14743’s innards are all business. This means a splittable, three-piece cutlery basket, a height adjustment mechanism on the upper rack, a motorized wash arm, and the powerful TurboZone high-intensity spray jets resting in the back. Whirlpool has dishwashers with similar controls that handle better, which is a bit of a surprise since Whirlpool makes most of Kenmore's dishwashers.īut if you can get past the cheapened exterior, you’ll find that the 14743’s interior is exactly the same as the 14753. This, plus the lack of a countdown timer, makes it hard to guess when your wash is going to be finished. Also, while the right side of the control panel has lights to indicate a cycle’s progress, they don't distinguish between washing and drying stages. The touch-sensitive buttons don’t always respond, and they only work when the door is closed-eliminating one of the main benefits of a front-control model. We don’t like how the controls handle, either. It might look like it blends in photos, but in person that plastic control panel really jumps out. The colors might match, but contrast between the two materials (one shiny, the other flat) makes it difficult to blend in with a sleek stainless kitchen. Gray plastic on top of stainless steel isn’t fooling anyone. You'll have a hard time convincing onlookers that your new Elite costs over $1,000 MSRP-though, to be fair, we’ve spotted sale prices of around $699. ![]()
