NOT as good as it use to be
I have owned several of these. The first one I ever purchased was nearly indestructible! Since then, ALL the rest crack then break where each of the handles are located and even the plastic used for the basket is cheaper and thinner. For the higher cost they simply aren't worth it anymore.

Not what I would expect from Rubbermaid quality.
I have always loved and trusted the Rubbermaid brand. However, although I love the hip hugger baskets, the handles break off and they are then worthless. I expect better from this company and would have thought the issue would have been addressed by now. I have moved on to Sterlite. Great baskets, no handle breakage.

Nice Basket
I love the design and size of this basket, but have also had problems with the handles breaking off. This is my second basket and 2 of the handles have just broken off -just like with my first basket! :(

The handles are the killer!
I love these baskets. The shape is great and I can usually fit everything I need in it. Having said that, I've had the same issue as others here. My first one lasted a few years but then the handles cracked and broke off. I bought a replacement and it barely lasted a year before doing the same thing. Now I'm on the hunt for a new basket. Although I love these, I'm unlikely to buy another as Rubbermaid does not seem to have done anything to improve the handle durability despite years of similar customer complaints.

Handle breakage needs to be addressed. Obviously.
We had 3 of these baskets about a year-and-a-half before the handles started cracking. Being handy I cut some pieces of pipe and pop riveted them in place of the handles which seems to work very well. If Rubbermaid put some kind of reinforcement in there it would never have been a single problem with the handles on these and it would last for years. Rubbermaid obviously needs to address the handle breakage issue as nearly every single customer has complained of it. I will not be buying another set of these again, we are in the market for some and unfortunately Rubbermaid is not being considered.

Great Design!
I have six of these baskets that I purchased about 15 years. The handles have broken on all six. I love the shape and want to purchase new baskets. I hope that the design of the handles has been improved.

Breaks easily
I bought 2 of these. The handles broke off within a month. After the handles breaking, the sides started to crack and tear down the side. I am looking for a laundry basket that doesn't break.

Nice design, poor durability
I have always liked Rubbermaid products. This laundry basket is a clever design but unfortunately the handles crack and break off.
