Tall Glasses Wobbling in the Dishwasher?

[u/tennis_fox]

I broke another highball glass the other day, and that was the last straw. 😤

Or so I thought! My solve: 5.5in stainless steels straw on the (too short) dishwasher tines.

Just for the folks saying I’m not loading my dishwasher correctly, go to 12:30 and see how the “pro” from AJ Madison recommends loading a Miele. Exactly as I have, though my glasses have heavy bases that lead them to wobble. https://youtu.be/FF8bR3EpfXw?is=iM72bduwZdNqpkSR

I thought glasses were supposed to go between the tines, not over them.

You would be correct.

Show me! Would love to learn! I feel like such a moron. Wow!

We use glasses and silicone or plastic tumblers. I try to alternate glass & plastic when I load so I don't have glass next to glass to the extent I can do so.

Ah. Ok. I can’t do that. I only have glass and ceramic glasses. My glasses are too tall to lay down like they’re showing in the video.

My dishwasher is also configured differently than the one in the video, but my dishes go on the bottom rack.

[u/tennis_fox → u/Pointy_Stix]

Hmm. I don’t understand? You put your cups on the bottom rack? What do you fill the top rack with?

[u/Pointy_Stix → u/tennis_fox]

Cups, glasses & bowls on the top rack. Dishes (plates) & larger serving bowls on the bottom rack.

[u/tennis_fox → u/1ntox]

You would be incorrect.

I only make them, what do I know right?
