This product is a replacement for the original cutlery basket, which broke.
Unfortunately the new basket is as flimsy as the old one, so I do not expect it will last very long.
In any event there is no choice really, as the basket needs to fit in the dishwasher, so it needs to be of the correct size and shape.
I like it because:-
1. There is no risk of cutlery being unwashed due to close proximity.
2. There is no risk of cutlery slipping through holes in the bottomof the basket.
3. This method of mounting cutlery ensures that basket will have a longer life.
