Racks are terrible

We had a model KDTM404kps 0 with a third rack and loved it. Our fourth Kitchenaid in multiple homes. We remodeled and bought the panel ready version of the third rack dishwasher and it is awful. The inside is smaller, the racks are oddly configured and the bottom rack, as others have stated is impossible to load and keep dishes upright. What were you thinking???? Please make a replacement middle and lower rack.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall a very fine appliance. This model is much quieter than a similar sixteen year old model it replaced, cleans all the kitchenware from tea cups to large cooking pots and bowls thoroughly, and drys effectively; We are very pleased in these regards. I have one annoyance, and that is the loading process is more difficult than the old model. I find I am constantly re-configuring the dirty dishes and other items in order to utilize all the rack space and keep items from "flopping" or touching other contents. This was not the case with our previous machine which was much easier to load and accommodated larger loads than this model. Am I right in suspecting that the newer model has a reduced interior dimension due to an increase in the sound insulation thickness in the sidewalls, top etc?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The top loading rack is not very practical for us. coffee cups and glasses are notable to be positioned with any uniformity or stability. I liked our old rack from our unit we replaced that was 15 years old.
