Got this rack to replace our original that broke. This one has a front face that pivots open. Problem is, the latch that’s supposed to hold the front in place when it’s upright doesn’t work. Anytime we load silverware into it, it will inevitably pop open. I would have given it a single star, but for the fact that it does hold silverware, just very poorly.

silverware basket, September 28, 2011

I purchased this to have additional silverware space when entertaining large groups. Works o.k., but it a little narrow for the lids to work properly. Serves the purpose, but not great.

Bad design, December 18, 2011

Good idea, bad design. We were excited about our new whirlpool gold dishwasher, and the included silverware rack that promises to “open” up additional space in your washer. True, true, the concept is simple but effective, as it moves the traditional silverware basket onto the inside of the door, thus leaving more “rack” space for dishes. However, the stupid latch the holds the basket closed always unlatches during the cycle and/or when you open the door. This equates to all of your silverware falling out and into the dishwasher basin, etc. Very frustrating. I even tried to buy a new one (even though the original one was fine) thinking that maybe I just got a “lemon”. Nope, it also sucks. I have to conclude that it is just poorly designed. Really a bummer since the concept is such a great idea.
