One can readily purchase after market flatware baskets for
dishwashers, typically better designed than the originals. However
I'm completely satisfied with my Maytag... whichever you choose be
sure to get a dishwasher with a stainless steel liner... plastic
liners stain, they absorb odors and schtink.


I think I agree with what you said. I had 2 maytags and liked them both but
because of information from a sale person I decided that Maytag was not as
good as it had been in the past, so I bought a Whirlpool. Maybe it is just
because I was more used to the Maytags but I don't think it is as good. The
plastic stuff on the inside, tabs, adjusters and such just seem
unsubstantial. It does have all sorts of setting and cleans really well if
you do the soak and scour setting, which takes 4 hours plus. But for just
normal settings, the Maytags were the best. The price is about the same
too.

I don't really put my Maytag through it's paces; I use it about once a
week, it's rarely very full, no pots n' pans, I tend to do a lot of
hand washing. But for me it does what it's supposed to do, always
cleans spotlessly and everything dry when I open the door. It's
called a dishwasher, not a pot washer, and many of my pots are too
big to fit. I don't remember ever using the Pot Scrubber cycle. And
many times if the hot water is up at the sink becaue I'm washing stuff
anyway and I'm in the mood I will take things out of the dishwasher
and wash them by hand... did that this evening, hand washed all the
glassware and dinner plates, only took ten minutes and means I can go
another week before I have to run it. I know, I'm weird. I don't
mind doing any kind of house work, but I absolutely refuse to clean up
after slobs.

I see nothing wrong with it, that's how the flatware holder is
supposed be... each piece held separate and apart so they can be
cleaned and don't rub together. Maybe some of yoose should consider
plastic eating utensils, throw aways.

That is one thing I wanted with my dishwasher. I have a G.E. BTW. I wanted
the silverware holders on the bottom and not flat on the top like some are.
There is a slight problem with mine in that the top rack is close enough to
the bottom that I can not put my larger pieces in the silverware
compartment. Things like pancake turners, mixing spoons, etc. Not so much
a problem though because I can lay them across the top rack. I usually just
put them in the middle. The rack is such that they do not fall through.
With some of my other dishwashers, the rack was such that those things or
plasticware did fall through and melt on the bottom. Not good!

Now that's bad! Why would you even need the covers? I can see maybe if you
were washing baby bottle parts or little things like cake decorating tips.
But I usually don't even put those in the dishwasher.

They have slotted lids, and one is supposed to put the place
settings in each slot. The spoons kind-of hang there. There is
relatively little space to put anything in!

It's much worse than in the picture. You can basically put ONE
thing into each of the slots. Later when I am at the other house,
I will look again to see if there is any way to take that horrid
top off. I think I looked before, but maybe I was too interested
in being careful. I have a couple of other pieces I took out of
the DW, and I'll look at those too.

Oh, I should add... This DW has been used perhaps THREE times.
There is a TINY scratch on the SS door, and it has a bit of rust
on it. I think the SS must be extremely thin and very poor
quality. I am seriously thinking of ripping the Bosch out of the
current house and putting the new GE into it. The Bosch's
interior looks BRAND NEW after many years of use. (Note: Bosch
DWs have their own issues--maybe fixed by now. And check out the
repair situation for any appliance before you commit yourself to it.)

As I said, the GE's flatware holder is worse than that. One can
put almost NO utensils in it, and many of them are suspended and
thus potentially don't get cleaned well.
