Side by Side Comparison of: GE vs Better Houseware

It's a dishwasher basket so not much to say except it does exactly what it should do and I can say it does it well. Nice size it's just what we needed. Using in a commercial kitchen and it's holding up well

Recently moved into a new house where the dishwasher was missing its silverware basket. Let's just say, having to hand wash your silverware every single time, or fighting with it to stay in the rack, is just too much to deal with on a daily basis. After searching stores for a solution, with no luck, I reached out to the handy dandy amazon app. This was the first product that popped up when I searched, and I knew immediately this would work. Ordered it right away. The product shipped out an hour later and got to my house the very next day!!! That made me incredibly happy! Keep in mind, I only live about 4 hours away from the sender. Placed the basket in my dishwasher as soon as I opened the package, and it fit PERFECTLY! I am so happy with this purchase. Definitely a happy customer.

Laugh. Yes, go ahead and laugh. But I did not buy this to hold eating utensils.While in the process of remodeling my home office I came to the realization I have too many charger cords (fine, probably a sign of having too many items needing charging). Laptop cables, iPad cable, iPhone cable, etc. All of them jumbled up in a desk drawer. I wanted something to help me organize those cables. I looked and looked for a small basket or box to do the job and somehow wound up looking at dishwasher baskets. "Why not?" I thought. This one fills the bill perfectly. One compartment for each cable and associated component (such as the old, and still used, iPod dock). It hides away neatly in my overhead hutch, and the price was right.Oh, and it is sturdy and well made with no sharp rims or edges that you sometimes get on less expensive plasticware. I am sure it would do great in a dishwasher. I just hope mine never ends up there by mistake.

We just purchased a brand new GE to replace an older model Maytag. Although the old dishwasher was a piece of junk, I really didn't realize how much I would miss the old centered cutlery basket. The NEW GE has this long side basket with holes on top for individual flatware and only fits on the right side. It requires extra effort, to reach all the way to the back and side, to put the cutlery in the dishwasher, I really got used to the open basket in the center and pretty much throwing the stuff in. Well, I was skeptical, didn't know if this one would fit in the center or if the holes would line up with the spokes, but it did, and for the unusually good price on this basket, I am very pleased. I have seen this basket elsewhere, on the GE site for 3 times more. This was a good bargain and a good universal fit for my dishwahser.

this doesn't really fit my dishwasher, but the one that came with it was so small the silverware wasn't getting clean. So I just push this one in a corner, it is like the old one I had, larger holes and bigger space for silverware.

good basket, fits well

Quite big and comfortably fits in my dishwasher. Earlier one broke and was also small that could only fit small spoons and was on upper rack. This is good for big spoons or spatulas and I could only place it on lower rack. So check your dishwasher before you purchase to see if you have enough space on lower rack. I paid 17$ (not sure amazon will like to display price in a review) but I was expecting a lower price but good value for money. Also I think if you go any cheaper you may get what you pay for- something that will break after few weeks. This one looks like it will last forever as it is quite strong.

This arrived timely and is a great replacement for the fancy silverware basket that came with our expensive frigidaire dishwasher...which mostly disintegrated after one year. This basket is large and fits fine anywhere on our bottom rack. It appears sturdier than the one that came with the dishwasher. The holes on the bottom are small enough that fork spokes or knife tips don't fall through. Good affordable choice!

Okay so we had to buy this silverware basket since the dishwasher in the home we are renting was missing a basket. It fits great! However, in the description it stated it was a two-piece silverware basket with a hinged snap on basket that would be ideal for holding smaller items. It did not come with this second piece. So I believe the price is a bit much especially when you don't receive exactly what you thought you were ordering. It is a genuine GE Part, but I am sure a universal part would have worked just as well. Also, the color is not white it is a light grey.(I didn't send the product back because although the silverware basket was missing in our rental the snap on basket for smaller items was not missing so I didn't need the second part of this product anyhow) I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it back and reordering so I just kept the basket. But buyer beware I think this happened to some other people who bought this product.

I recently moved into a new apartment and the silverware basket for the dishwasher was missing so I ordered this one online. The dimensions are 8.5" (length) x 7" (width) and 8" (height, including handle). If this matters to you, the color is not white, but rather a light gray color. Also, while the description for this product says there is a hinged cover for smaller items, mine didn't include it. This isn't a big deal to me and on the whole this basket does exactly what I needed it to do. I have used it for almost three months now with no complaints.

It holds the utensils, what more can I ask for.

Usable, but cracked the first month

It;s a good product. I only wish it had a closing cover for those little things that tend to no stay in it.

Received item and it appears to be used or tampered with even though this is listed as new. It was wrapped in plastic but it looks like there was clearly a sticker of some sort that was ripped off on the inside middle portion of the divider. It left a residue that would take a while to get off. I couldn't be bothered. Functionally it works fine but is pretty cheap and had that residue on it.

This basket was not made for my model GE Profile so it doesn't really fit in the lower rack as well as the one that has worn out. It is a different shape and at the same material so will see how long before the bottom breaks in this one.

Replacement for old basket. This kind of looked like the old basket, but not quite the right size. It doesn't fit perfectly, but close enough that it works. This one isn't as sturdy as the old one. Think the price is high for what you are getting. Kind of cheezy plastic that most likely wont last years like the old one. Anticipating a new dishwasher in the next year, so the replacement basket will do until then. A plus, I didn't have to run all over the state trying to find a replacement basket which made the convenience worth the price.

New house, old dishwasher without a silverware basket. I believe this is the actual factory replacement part for our GE dishwasher; however, the fit is pretty lousy. I'm not sure why they designed this so poorly. It seems more generic than purposely designed for our model. Our previous dishwasher had an excellent silverware basket mounted along the side. This design seems an afterthought. Also, if I want the lid for this basket I need to purchase separately. No thanks. If this breaks I'll make my own version from leftover pvc plumbing parts.

Product was broken but still useable

Bottom holes are to big for the handles of my silverware

I bought this to replace my old one that had some holes in the bottom where my knives would slip through. This basket has bigger holes at the bottom, the ones it's supposed to, but they are too big and my knives still occasionally slip through. They don't if I turn them sharp side up but I don't like doing that for fear someone will get hurt loading or unloading. I don't want to buy another now so I'll make do for now but wish I would have noticed that. My original one was Maytag so I guess I should have stuck with that brand.

didn't fit as well as the page led me to believe it would, but with a lil twerking and talking to it in a stern voice it finally (mostly) fit like i needed it to

Our flatware falls through the holes on the bottom, which is quite inconvenient. This did not happen on our old basket, which alas wore out.

I received this item and it is broken. I can probably still use it, but I'm afraid it will come apart in the dishwasher. Not sure if it's worth the trouble to return it.

would not fit in dishwasher. too large and bulky.

I know... How can you get a 1 start rating on a dish washing basket right? There is only 1 single thing that can ruin a basket, and that is if the utencils goes through the holes. I can't believe how big these holes are, because my utensils are not toothpick sized by any means, yet I have to turn it on the opposite end to make it stay in the basket (meaning the mouth piece of the spoon goes in rather than the handle. Forget about chopsticks. Even the thickest chopsticks goes right through.

Not at all!! It is broken & I'm putting up with it because I sent a note that I was very unhappy that I had to pay postage to return a second basket that I didn't order. Two packages came the same day & I still fail to understand how that happened. If I'd had a thought this one was broken, I would have opened both. I'd already returned the other one when I discovered the break in the one I kept. I won't be ordering from Amazon again!

Was broken when it got here. Flimsy not a rack that would come in a dish washer.spend more for substance

This basket had a strong skunky smell right out of the plastic it was packaged in. I tried washing it several times running it through the dishwasher with white vinegar, cascade complete The end result is that it made my dishwasher reek. I can't explain it at all but this was a miserable experience and now I have no silverware basket. I just hope that whatever made it stink isn't toxic. The seller was free shipping LLC
