When we remodeled our kitchen a few years ago, I got a Kitchenaide Dw. The silverware basket is along the side so I can put large bowls in it.it also has the stainless inside which is recommended if you have hard water. I love it. I didn't want the silverware Basket in the door cuz my MIl had that in her whirlpool and it didn't hold very much. In our house on the lake, we have an old mayday. The house was built in '93so it's probably that old too the silverware basket is right in the middle in the front and the wash arm thingy pops up in the middle next to it so I can't put anything very large in there. But I don't complain much about my dishwashers b/c this is the first time I've had one and I love them!
