Product review (5 stars): Needed a new one...
A little venting and then on to review. So I had to buy a new silverware basket due to the fact that my dishwasher from a housing purchase did not come with one. I still can't get over the fact that the previous homeowner took the stupid silverware basket. Anyways, I tried to find the basket specific to my dishwasher model from Whirlpool, but was having a problem. Apparently finding part numbers is made out to be some huge process that you have to call a "parts distributor" to get any help. So I went through all that only to find out that the specific silverware basket for my dishwasher was going to cost something like 70 bucks. 70 freaking dollars! For a plastic basket! So I head over to Amazon and type in "whirlpool silverware basket" and to my surprise this lovely page pops up.

REVIEW:

For less than 10 bucks I got a rather large basket that splits into two separate smaller baskets, I assume to fit almost any dishwasher model. Each smaller basket has a top that has cutouts for individual pieces of silverware. Yours may or may not fit into the pre-cutout spots. But have no fear! If something is too big to fit, then you can remove the tops and have access to just the basket itself.

Also, each basket has a handle on it like the picture shows. They both fit rather well into the front of the lower basin basket and allow for easy removal of the basket and the silverware they hold.

I'd have to say I was quite relieved and surprised to find these on Amazon for as cheap as they are. They work wonderfully and when split in half would most likely work in any dishwasher I've ever used.

Kudos to the seller as well. While the "delivery date" on my original order was an 18 day window [Sept 2-20], when I got the email from Amazon that it was fulfilled on August 30 it arrived on Sept 1. That was a good bonus as well!
