If I'm not mistaken, the new Kenmores no longer use the Ultra Wash name and they certainly do not use the power clean or point voyager(tall tub with chopper)design anymore as they have gone with the triple filtration and longer cycle wash system. Jury is still out on how well they clean. If you want something that is a modern equivalant of the Ultra Wash, I would look at a Maytag. They are made by Whirlpool(as was the Ultra wash) and they still use the soft food chopper and disposal system that served us so well all these years.
