Kenmore 22-14585 Built-In Dishwasher Review: Can UltraWash and SmartDry Handle Your Family's Dishes in 2026?

A capable mid-range dishwasher with 14-place capacity and sensor wash, but 57 dBA noise and no smart features make it hard to justify at $499.99.

How this product scores for different use cases

Family Household
91/100

14 place settings and a Half Load option handle both large family loads and smaller daily washes. Sensor-based SmartWash and Sani Rinse add reliable daily cleaning for families.

Budget Buyer
63/100

At $499.99, this model is above the typical budget threshold of $400. It offers ENERGY STAR and sensor wash, but budget buyers can find basic models with fewer features at lower prices.

Premium Kitchen
50/100

The 57 dBA noise level and absence of a third rack, steam cleaning, interior lighting, and WiFi place this well below premium tier. Premium dishwashers typically run at or below 44 dBA with full smart integration.

Small Kitchen / Apartment
47/100

This is a standard 24-inch built-in model at 23.55 inches wide and 33.88 inches tall. It requires full cabinet installation and is not suited for apartments or compact kitchens.

Quiet Home
41/100

At 57 dBA, this model exceeds the 50 dBA threshold considered average for quiet operation. It will be audible in open-concept kitchens and during nighttime cycles.

Smart Connected
35/100

This dishwasher has no WiFi, no app control, and no Alexa or Google integration. Touch controls are the only digital interface offered.

Our Verdict

This dishwasher holds 14 place settings and uses sensor technology to adjust water pressure and temperature based on how dirty your dishes are. The stainless steel tub and Sani Rinse option cover the basics of thorough cleaning.

The 57 dBA noise level is a clear weak point. Most dishwashers in this price range run at 50 dBA or quieter. You will hear this one running from nearby rooms.

At $499.99, you get ENERGY STAR certification, leak detection, and a solid capacity. But you give up smart features, a third rack, and steam cleaning that competitors offer at the same price. It works well for daily family use in a closed kitchen.

What We Like

  • Fits 14 place settings, matching the top threshold for a good-rated capacity.
  • ENERGY STAR certified, meaning it meets federal energy and water efficiency standards.
  • Stainless steel tub improves drying by pulling condensation away from dishes.
  • UL-certified Sani Rinse heats water to sanitize dishes and reduce bacteria.
  • Built-in leak detection monitors for water damage before it spreads.

What Could Be Better

  • 57 dBA noise level exceeds the 50 dBA average for mid-range dishwashers.
  • No third rack, a feature now standard on many competing models in the $450 to $550 range.
  • No WiFi or app control, which competing models at $499 increasingly include.
  • No interior lighting, a convenience feature available on many similarly priced dishwashers.
  • No steam cleaning cycle, which competitors use to loosen baked-on food without pre-rinsing.

Standout Features

14 Place Settings
Matches the top end of the good-rated capacity range and equals the excellent threshold, above the 10-place average for standard built-in models.
Stainless Steel Tub
More effective at condensation drying than plastic tubs, which remain common in dishwashers priced under $500.
Built-In Leak Detection
Not universally offered at this price point; adds a layer of protection that many competing models in the $400 to $500 range omit.
