The Kenmore 1358 dishwasher produces 60dBA of noise thanks to its QuietGuard insulation. This is a good dishwasher for those who want something relatively inexpensive and quiet. It is an ENERGY STAR qualified device which means it uses less water and less electricity than normal washers, making it a buy for those who want to lower their utility bills. The manufacturer claims that it costs only $26-$34 dollars a year. The Kenmore 1358 includes the Tall Tub design which allows it to accommodate larger dishware, such as pots, tall platters, over-sized dinner plates and other hard to wash items. It uses a SmartWash Cycle to customize the energy, time and water for each individual load.
