These dishwashers are designed to cater to a variety of household needs, making them ideal for families or individuals who prioritize cleanliness and convenience in their kitchen routines.

One of the standout features of the Kenmore 587 models is their SmartWash technology. This innovative system uses dual clean sensors to detect the level of soil on the dishes, adjusting the cycle duration and intensity accordingly. This not only ensures optimal cleaning performance but also conserves water and energy, making it a more eco-friendly choice.

Another notable characteristic is the Ultra Wash system, which provides exceptional cleaning power through its multi-level spray arms.

Noise levels are a significant concern for many homeowners, and the Kenmore 587 series addresses this with its quiet operation. The models boast a sound rating of around 48 dBA, which is quieter than a typical conversation. This reduced noise level allows for a more pleasant kitchen environment, even when the dishwasher is running.
