Product review (4 stars): Design fine, material defective
The actual basket is fine, lifts out easily, etc.  My one complaint is that Whirlpool should not have used defective plastic in the first place.  The bottom grid melted away, due to heat I'm sure.  And not water heat but the actual machine's heat. The silverware fell through the big holes and this began when the machine was only 18 months old.  This basket should have been replaced free of charge, in my opinion.
