WE are most disappointed with the new and "improved???" dish rack. The knife insert is a brilliant invention and why you had the lack of judgement to remove it from the new model escapes me!
I don't have a dishwasher at the moment and need a large and sturdy dishrack. My last one (different brand) rusted very quickly and i am hopeful this one will do the work for a long time to come.
I had this same dishrack for many years and loved it. But when I moved from the west coast to the east coast I didn’t think it would fare well going across the country in a POD, so I donated it to a friend. When I started looking for a new rack for my new home I compared it to all of the highest reviewed racks currently available, and ended up buying it all over again. And I’m very happy that I did.
