We've had one for almost a year now, and it is great. It cleans well and is SUPER quiet. I don't remember the model #, but I can check if you want.

Thanks chowgirl! If you don't mind, can you pls let me know your DW's model #?

Every Kenmore is simply a re-badged model from another mfg. LG, Whirlpool and Bosch supply DWs to Sears. You can check by the serial # on the machine, there's a code that will tell you which mfg supplied it. A very helpful person posted this to GW several years ago so I bookmarked the website.

Here is a link that might be useful: Sears: who makes what for them

As jkom51 mentions, other manufacturers produce the models for Sears/Kenmore. I thought Bosch made Kenmore's higher end dishwashers.

Some are made by Electrolux (Frigidaire parent company) too.

It's usually fairly easy to determine who makes a Kenmore appliance by comparing the interior to other brands of the same appliance on the Sears showroom floor - in the case of dishwashers, look at the tub, the position of the detergent dispenser, the venting and heating element (on machines where they're exposed) and see which brand looks nearly identical to the Kenmore. The same approach works with refrigerators, ovens, washing machines, and dryers too. The insides are usually more similar than the outsides, since they make more of an effort to make the outside appear different by changing the shape and layout of the buttons and knobs.
