2014 Version Had Much Better Design
on December 27, 2020
Posted by: Thomas J.
The dishrack that we had purchased in 2014 was a much better design than this one. The new one now has space for 1 more dish, but the space between each dish was reduced by ¼ inch. As a result, bowls will no longer completely stand within their space, but now lean into the next space preventing the next space from being used. The 2014 version also had a wooden top on one of the silverware bins for cutting knives to be able to be placed and firmly secured with the blade facing down. The current version does not have this to support the cutting knives. The 2014 drain design was much better. All one had to do to remove the remaining water puddles was to tilt the dishrack towards the drain. This can no longer be done with the current design because the drain is in the center.
I cannot believe I am writing a review for a dish rack, of all things. However, this is, by far, the absolute best dish drainer I have ever owned. Not having a dishwasher and entertain often, this rack has made dishwashing so much easier. The best part? The draining system. Brilliant. Granted, a bit expensive, but worth every penny. I love this thing!
Well done! Very thoughtful in design and the many features. Sturdy structure is big enough to steadily hold a lot including large cutting boards and skillets. Its imbedded drainage feature keeps water off counter; only need to wipe up any droplets that may fall when placing rinsed dishes into the strainer.
