I have this basket now been estimated at more than one year in use. Its predecessor (also a basket of other replacement style) has not kept very long. This one still performs his duties without prejudice. The essential weakness I see the something large openings on the sides. When quick drop-in cutlery it happens all the time that a handle to the sides slipping out. A fork or a spoon can quickly block the lower propeller, if you are not careful. But lift before pitching again the basket shortly and look, no longer happens. A mini Minus there is that the basket is a little wobbly in our dishwasher. A planerer cage floor would have been better off.
