Sleek, sturdy, roomy, well-made dish rack with a place for everything. Makes the monotonous task of doing the dishes a lot more fun. Can you make one that washes the dishes for you?
Had one before, same style; this is an updated item. Has its pros & cons. The dish holder prongs are set in such a way, that the dishes do not sit well on it. In fact they are set so the plates can not be set in the same direction from the start. It’s aggravating. Half & half was a pain, but now every other one is an issue. The dish rack isself I like, but a few of the updates are not well thought out.
This dishrack is the best one we've ever had. Holds a ton, and is sturdy enough for layering Le Creuset pots on top. The wine glass holder is brilliant, and that as well as the glass holder drain into the main spout. So well engineered.
I owned the original dish rack and any issues I had have been tweeted out on this version. The drain system is improved and allow for better placement. I like the pegs in the dish rack area as they give you more flexibility when putting dishes and bowls in that area. The unit itself sits a bit higher and the drain clears my top-mount sink with no problem.
My dishrack seems to be working well. Appreciate all of the features, including air space below bottom rack for more efficient air drying. Glad for the counter top positioning flexibility due to the rotating drainage spout. Easy to assemble & appears like it will be easy to clean. Seems to hold a good number of items, including propping & stacking some items.
I've gone through a number of dish racks over the years, and once again it was time for an upgrade. The Simplehuman rack was different than anything I had seen. A bit pricey, but I knew it would be of good quality, so I gave it a try. I'm very pleased, and it's great not having to use a mat under the dishrack. The way excess water flows into the sink is ingenious!! I would have given it 5 stars, except, if you want to put the silverware holder on the outside, as is shown on one of the pictures, it can easily fall off unless you put silverware in the middle compartment first. Maybe a longer or wider clip would alleviate that situation. Other than that, it's great!!!
We love this dish rack. Looks neat, clean, sleek. Do notice that items seem to take a bit longer to air dry, probably because of the solid, enclosed sides, but I can live with that.
The large size takes a lot of counter space but is great for organizing a pile of dishes to dry. Used for all the winter holiday cooking this year and it makes clean up a breeze.
