Toys and Games Reviews of Munchkin Deluxe Dishwasher Basket, Colors May Vary
Customer Review: Not as good as the similar basket in the stores.
Summary: 3 Stars
I have several of these that I purchased from stores (Babies R Us and Target). I decided to buy this on online to have it shipped across the country when I was traveling with my baby. During the first few uses, the top snapped off and it continued to snap off in subsequent uses. Although it was pretty easy to snap it back in, it was annoying that it kept happening.
This product is more sturdier in stores and the store version comes with a tiny extension basket to hold spoons which this online version doesn't have. The top has never snapped off of the store versions either. The plastic on the online version was a bit thinner too.
All of that aside, it held up in the dishwasher much like the store versions. However, I only used it for two weeks so I really can't tell how long it will last.
Customer Review: Best available dishwasher basket!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have loved this dishwasher basket for various uses over the past 5+ years since our daughter (and then son) were born. It is great for bottle nipples, bottle parts, small spoons, sippy cup valves, and just about anything.
Positives? Easy to use, holds all manner of items including bottle nipples, bottle parts, small spoons, forks knives, sippy cup valves and lids, and other small non-baby items
Complaints? The straw holders are ineffective - more straws than not end up at the bottom of the dishwasher, unfortunately. I ended up not using it for straws. It's capacity is limited, so in a two working parent household with two kids, we needed 2-3 of these for each daily load. I would have happily purchased a larger version.
All in all - highly recommended!
Customer Review: Serves its purpose
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered this basket basket because I needed one and this had good reviews. As I said in the title it severs its purpose, just not as well as I had hoped. We use Playtex dropins nursers and Breastflow bottle both of wich have large based nipples. This basket does its job in the since of holding everything in place in the dish washer but it hard to get the nipples in and get it to close right. I can only get it to hold about 7 nipples, less than a days worth of bottles so I still end up hand washing some or having to run more than one load, Which is irritating.
However as I haven't found anything that will hold more I am ordering a second one of these baskets. For the price you can't beat it and I'd rather buy 2 at this price than spend more and still have to buy 2.
Customer Review: works great!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have 2 of these and fill them both up almost every time I run the dishwasher. If you use wide based nipples, you can only get 5 in because you have to stagger them, but if you do this you can put sippy cup tops in the top too (I use the Nuby ones and they fit). I don't know anyone that actually uses standard nipples so it'd be nice to have the holes a little further apart to better accomodate both types. Also, the stuff in the basket NEVER gets all the way dry, so I have to shake it when I pull it out of the dishwasher and then let it air dry, but there's a lot of stuff piled in there so it's not surprising, although even with the basket mostly empty I have the same problem. Everything else in the DW is dry so who knows why it happens. Highly recommend this though!Customer Review: Very useful!
Summary: 4 Stars
We rarely even use bottles, but I find this to be super useful for washing all those little tiny baby things that need washing now and then. I use it for baby food jars (which I re-use because we make most of our own baby food), and basically anything else that's too small to let loose in the dishwasher.
I really like the two-tier design with the top rack for lids and nipples and the bottom rack for slightly larger pieces. I haven't used the straw holder yet, but I imagine I might be glad I have it when baby is drinking from a cup.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's just a tiny bit too small to fit my breast pump accessories in it.
