The Kenmore 02214705 is an 18-inch built-in dishwasher with a stainless steel tub, aimed at small kitchens, apartments and tight cabinet openings where a full 24-inch unit won't fit. Its SmartWash cycle senses how dirty the water is and adjusts temperature, water volume and run time, and UltraWash Plus uses three spray arms with continuous filtration. It runs at 45 dBA and is Energy Star certified. Against rival 18-inch models it stands out on noise and the leak-detection system, but it holds less than a standard-width machine and lacks the third rack and bottle-wash jets many larger dishwashers now offer.

Owners rate it well overall, with quiet operation and cleaning performance the most common praise. Complaints center on capacity and drying of plastic items.
The Kenmore 18" built-in dishwasher has a stainless steel tub and finish. The tub resists food stains and retains heat to help with drying.
The SmartWash Cycle detects how much soil is in the water and automatically adjusts the temperature, amount of water and wash duration. The UltraWash Plus system uses 3 spray arms and constantly filters the wash water throughout the cycle. The TurboDry system uses hot water to promote condensation of moisture in the tub, so dishes are dry at the end of the cycle.
The AccelaWash Option shortens the cycle time without reducing cleaning power. The Leak Detect System measures and monitors water flow at various points in the cycle. The dishwasher runs at 45 dBA and is Energy Star Certified.
