Product review (5 stars): I like that the lid fits snugly because then I know ...
As some reviewers have mentioned it is slightly difficult to get the basket open, however and at least for me, this is not an issue that has affected the performance of the product. I like that the lid fits snugly because then I know for certain it isn't going to pop open and my items aren't going to flying all over the inside of the dishwasher.
