That's not the one I have now. The one that broke glasses was in my first
apartment. I didn't know anything about dishwashers as the one we had while
I was growing up didn't work and my parents didn't get a new one until my
brother and I moved out.

I'm not sure which one melted the plastic. It was in this house but may
have been the old one. It's all rather a moot point now though.

Glasses are rarely used since we drink stuff mostly from bottles and cans.
I use paper cups when I want a quick drink of water or to take pills.
