Product review (1 stars): Don't Bother.
So based on the comments that everyone is making, the basket disintegrates due to the heating element affecting the plastic, making it brittle. Seems to me that the solution is to forget the basket all together and wash your silverware by hand. Plates and other objects are the real reason we wanted a dishwasher anyhow. Why use the basket if it's only going to fall apart every 3 to 4 years and potentially wreck the garbage disposal unit or motor or pump? Waste of money. We like our KitchenAid dishwasher but we're washing the silverware by hand from now on.
