KitchenAid FreeFlex DW -- report?

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

If you have the new KA DW with FreeFlex 3rd rack, how is it? It's new, so I can't find reviews yet. I thought I'd ask here if anyone has it and can share their experience:

I've seen it at the local big box store, and the large spacing of the baskets' weave is giving me pause. I'm afraid items will slip through (ex: snap-on lids), and then melt on the exposed heating element (for dish drying) below! The LG DW I'm needing to replace has grid pattern for all the baskets, so nothing can ever slip through.
Has this wide spacing (on all the KA baskets) been a problem? And is the FreeFlex great, or a gimmick?
