Baby Products Reviews of Dr. Brown's Standard Dishwashing Basket, Polypropylene
Customer Review: Necessary If Using Dr. Brown's Bottles - Buy Two Baskets, Though
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought two of these baskets from Amazon for my daughter when she was expecting her first child. Quite frankly, I thought she was a bit crazy to want these, but I needed things to reach the free shipping amount so these fit the bill.
Having used them for the past six weeks, I can now say I would not be without these dishwashing baskets. The parts from Dr. Brown's bottles fit neatly and securely into the easily identifiable slots. The basket closes securely and prevents gunk from settling in the bottle parts which are not being flipped around during the dishwasher's cycles. Each basket holds parts for three bottles, so I am glad that I purchased two of these. As an additional plus, these baskets can be used to hold bottle parts from other manufacturers.
If you are using Dr. Brown's bottles, you definitely want to add these dishwasher baskets to your list of items for purchase.
Customer Review: Works well if all other dishes are clean
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall I am very happy with this dishwasher basket- there is a place for each of the Dr. Brown's parts. Before buying this product I had been handwashing and steam sterilizing the bottles, but I thought this would cut down on the work involved. However, the third time I used the basket the nipples and vents turned orange. I called Dr. Brown's customer service, and they advised that this would happen if any tomato-based products were left on any other dishes in the dishwasher. So, in order to avoid this I would have to prewash or carefully rinse all of my dishes. This is just was much work as handwashing the bottles, so in the end I do not think that the basket will save much time.
As an aside, the customer service representative at Dr. Brown's was very helpful, and did send me a few new nipples and vents to replace those that were discolored.
Customer Review: Better Racks Available
Summary: 3 Stars
First off I haven't bought this item for reasons below...
I have already purchased one Munchkin Deluxe Dishwasher Basket. It will hold all parts for 6 bottles (except for the bottles of course). With its price less than $5 you will be better off picking up that product an bypassing this basket.
We have 18 bottles in rotation for our twins so high capacity is a must. For us to handle our normal 12 bottles a day we would need 4 of these baskets for $26. Using the Munchkin basket that takes only $10.
To arrange 6 bottles worth of assemblies lay the 6 flutes down on the bottom of the main basket, layer the nipple rings and the bubble catch on top. Put the nipples in the nipple part of the basket and you're ready to go.
Customer Review: Good for frequent washers
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this rack after a dr brown 4 oz vent reservoir fell from the top rack of the dishwasher and melted. I think it is worth the money because it keeps the parts secure and organized, making it quicker to reassemble each bottle. Because we go through more than 3 bottles/ day, I am ordering a second basket. I recommend it for anyone who washes dr brown's polypropylene bottles daily in the dishwasher. Overall, it does save room in our dishwasher to use the basket. Note this basket only holds the bottle parts, not the bottles. I needed to refer to the pictures and instructions on the packaging when I first used it to know how the pieces fit in the basket. I found that visual very helpful and now it is easy to remember where all the pieces go.Customer Review: Good device to make washing bottle parts easier
Summary: 5 Stars
As most people looking for this know, the washing basket is designed to be used with Dr. Brown's bottles. These bottles have special parts (i.e. a long internal tube, plug piece, etc.) that need to be washed. The little washing basket makes it easier to organize the various small parts of the bottle and ensure that they do not fall out when placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. I think this basket makes it easier to wash everything. That said, it is not essential. Before buying it, we just put the small pieces in the top rack and maneuvered them so they would not shift in the wash cycle.
Overall, this rack is worth the money. It makes it much easier to wash the bottle parts for the Dr. Brown's bottles.
