I shopped around for dish racks - yes, I actually shopped around for a dish rack. I know, I question myself sometimes as well. But I digress... It's a bit pricier than the other ones but you get what you pay for. With the OXO brand it's usually some pretty good quality, excellent design and items that last. We wanted a rust-free, easy to clean, easy to store dish rack that was able to accommodate pots, pans and cutting boards more than dishes and that's exactly what we got. LOVE this rack. It adjusts making it really easy to hold everything. The only chrome is the handle and ours never gets wet because of the design. Genius. But that's OXO! The little drain flap in the front is great. The back has two little legs that pop down so you can place the rack on a slight angle allowing the water to run out the drain in front right into the sink. Close the flap if you don't require drainage. Haven't had any issues with water under the unit so no leaking! That's always a plus. It sits directly on our counters without a tray under it. One less thing to worry about! The two utensil holders pop right out so you can put larger items in the rack. This also makes them super easy to clean. The dish holder folds flat making even more room for larger items. So awesome! You can even fold the whole unit up and stow it away if need be. This is great when you need the extra counter space for other things. It's not super compact like the less expensive chrome and bamboo folding racks but it makes up for that in so many other ways, like not rusting or getting moldy. It's a pretty slick drying rack. I would highly recommend this to anyone who lives tiny, uses pots, pans, and larger cooking items often (more often than you run your dishwasher and/or for items not dishwasher friendly), and anyone who wants something that will last. I'm tired of living in a disposable society. I like that this rack is quality. You can see and feel that it is well made and very sturdy. I forgot to add: Yes the instructions recommend a very logical weekly cleaning. It's not hard to do. I don't even move it from it's spot on the counter. Just take the sprayer from the sink, give it a good spray, wipe it down with a clean soapy sponge, spray again, drain directly into sink through drain hole. Takes me 2 mins. Regardless of what dish rack I'm using, I would clean it anyway because a) It's a kitchen item that gets wet and slowly drip dries and b) It holds clean kitchen items you will eventually most likely eat off of. You should clean all of your dish drying racks regardless of material. Just like you should wipe down your phone - it's common sense.

We use our dish rack for things that don't fit or cannot be put into the dishwasher and as I do cook and bake we needed a larger one. I came to find they no longer make the traditional type i.e.plastic or rubber coated basket that sits atop a drain tray, that is the larger size or is still relatively sturdy. I was forced to look around. This non-traditional dish rack is about the same size as my older model that needed replaced. It is, however, different in design. First off your dishes(except for utensils and plates if you use the fold-up or down plate rack) sit ON the drain tray. So their very bottom may stay a bit wetter. Also there is no exterior line of wires for glasses that used to hang over the sink. They fit over vertical pegs and take up some of the space in this tray. Since the sides of this are lower your stacking within the tray must be be arranged so they will stay within the lower sides. The utensil rack is sturdier and more roomy than my old basket's little container, and these lift out so you can carry them to the drawer where you stash your silverware and then return them to the rack. The drain rack sits in a stainless steel trivet and you prop up one end on fold away legs so that it will drain toward your sink. I admit it drains better than my old style basket but does have some design flaws. The drain hole is small and can be plugged by folding up a tab. Thus the hole will need monitoring to be sure it doesn't plug up. Also, because this is square ended and the drain hole is centered on that end, some water may accumulate at the outsides of the downhill end. Still this is an improvement on any drain tray I have previously owned. The whole thing does fold relatively flat so it can be stashed under your sink and hidden away when not in use. So far, I recommend this product as an improvement from old style drain racks with a separate tray. It will take getting used to.

I'd like to give this item 4.5 stars, but I could only score in "whole" stars.🙂 Oh, I still have reservations and criticisms of the product, but compared to what is on the market these days it is GRR-REAT!! I've had it about a month and love it. We both aren't grumbling all the time about having to hand wash the dishes (Our dishwasher is on the fritz & fixing it is not high on our "to-do" list right now so we 'be been hand washing for about 10 months now) as this dish drainer is easy to use, the dishes all fit in it with no problem, it has plenty of space for silverware with 6 separate slots so I can pre-sort as I wash. Not only do our dishes all get dry quickly, it stays clean, algae & mold free and it doesn't look like an alien spacecraft sitting there next to the sink half of the time. And, it didn't cost an arm & a leg, but was very reasonably priced, which was a good thing as I had already paid an arm & a leg for one of those "Stupid Human Tricks" dish drainers. Grrr, stil mad about that!! Like many other reviewers here on Amazon, I have been struggling to find a dish drying rack and drain board for my kitchen's above mount sink. I looked in those quaint small neighborhood "everything" hardware stores, I looked at all of the "big box" stores, the fancy cooking & kitchen supply stores (oh THEY - at one of those fancy kitchen supply places - got me good for one of those "Stupid Human" designs - which turned out to be not only a dud but also an algae farm, but it was fancy PINK algae at least! - and I came very close to buying their very stupidest top of the line dish drainer until I realized that the water from the fancy wineglass draining section of the drainer plus water from one other fancy section drained into trays that had no drains of there own, so that the water just sat there. And then what? It evaporated? There seem to be two common problems with the "dish drainer" products we are being forced to choose from. First - and this is the worst of the two in my opinion - none of the products supposedly designed to use on the countertop next to an above mount sink are actually high enough up to be above the lip/edge of the sink. My sink is a common white ceramic over cast iron sink with two bowls. The lip measures 5/8" higher than the countertop at it's highest point. The "Rubber" drain board I purchased has front feet that are just shy of 1/2" high. Hmm. So, like almost every other reviewer has done, I put a thick board under the drain board to prop it up and make it high enough to actually drain OVER the lip of my sink. The second big issue is that most of the drain boards do not slant enough - if at all - to cause the water to run down INTO the sink instead of just sitting there, stagnating, and eventually, overflowing onto the countertop I guess. So, in order to make the drain board slant, reviewers like myself have had to place something under the far end of the drain board to make it higher than the end draining into the sink. My father-in-law cut my mother a wedge-shaped piece of wood to place under her drain board, thereby elevating and canting it enough so that the drain board that she sat on it actually worked properly. Is there anybody out there who makes these things actually aware of what a dish drain board is supposed to do? I wouldn't think this was so difficult, but apparently it must be as most of the products are non-functioning pieces of you-and-I-know what!!! It isn't Rocket Science people! But perhaps they should at least have an engIneer give it a go, as what is being made cannot have been tested even. Okay, enough with the problem(s) at hand. You want to know if THIS dish drainer at least works. Well, yes. Mostly. I have to say that out of all the ones I have tried it has worked the best, and that I am going to stop looking for anything better because I know that there is NOT another product out there that works as week as, let alone better than this product. But, that said, it is not perfect. I still had to put a board under it to make it significantly higher than the edge of my sink. But it does slant enough on its own that I do not need to put anything under it to make it drain better. The drain hole itself is strange, and I really do not understand why it was designed the way it was - which is that it is "hinged" and can either fold up and close itself off, or it can be opened to allow water to come out of it and go down into the sink. The drain hole itself is small, only 7/16ths in diameter, which is just under half an inch. Why so small? Who knows. And the plug that fits into the drain hole to close it off sticks up on the fold-out spout so that the water is forced to go around it. Another reviewer commented that the water can - and for that person, DID - leak out through the space between the spout and the drainer like through the crack between a door and its frame. That hasn't happened to me. Yet. There's always tomorrow. What I DO especially like is that there are two 3-sectioned silverware drainers, and that you can remove one or both and they can be placed in a different configuration if you find it necessary to do so. We were impressed that we could put so many dishes & pots & pans in the drying rack and that nothing hung over the side of the drainer, which the early 1960's-70's models did I recall, with the glasses hanging all around the outside of the drying rack necessitating a much larger drain board for the rack to sit upon. Hmm, perhaps they should bring back those all-in-one sink and drain board units that I had once in a 1930's era house we lived in. Or perhaps we should all forgo dish racks altogether like my young neighbor does and just use those "new" dish drying mats. Hmm. (NOTE: If you are thinking about installing an above mount sink, DON'T do it!! If you do, you will then struggle with finding a dish rack & drain board that actually works as the rest of us poor tortured souls have been struggling since the 1960's when American Companies actually made quality goods that worked, and they made them here in the States also!)

The design is great. I like that I can put the dish holder up for pans and plates, or down for pots. Considering I mostly hand wash the pots and other cooking dishes and use the dishwasher for plates, this is the ideal configuration. Easy to clean and keep new despite daily use; I cook frequently so it never actually gets folded and put away. Holds a lot of stuff. My favorite feature: I can use the dish rack to safely prop up and dry chef's knives and long utensils laterally, no rust risks from contact or droplets, and the see through plastic bins make it easy to find and retrieve small parts, like the pressure cooker valves. Least favorite feature: the drain plug leaks. Solution: put the front two legs in the sink. I was worried how this big plastic thing it would look on my kitchen island but given it stays so clean and is not too obtrusive, it's not really a problem. You will not regret buying this over the cheap metal racks that rust; had to throw away the one I got at a big box store with only six or eight weeks of constant use.

Changed my kitchen reality immediately. I live in a place with a ridiculously small amount of counter space, but even if I had space, I would adore this drainer. First, I am a dish stacker - more like heaper. I have no dish washer, and I hate drying dishes with a cloth which means I like to get as many dishes piled up as possible to air dry. Though it did not seem like it would be because it does not sit flat on the counter, this drainer is VERY sturdy. It has solid metal legs and a thick plastic drain pan that holds a lot of dishes without any bowing. Second, It is so easy to fold this up and reconfigure it either to move it out of the way or to rearrange it to fit your dishes. I love that feature! Third, no standing water in the drainer! It sits at slight angle so that the water drains out perfectly. I saw in some of the reviews that people had trouble with leaking from the back of the drainage spout. I was so intrigued by the other features that I though it was worth the risk of purchasing anyway. When I got it and set it up, I immediately put a paper towel down under the drainer and poured two liters of water into the drain pan to see if this would be an issue. The paper towel was absolutely dry, so the one I got does not seem to have this flaw. Maybe over time, the space widens and causes problems, but for me it will not matter anyway as I have it slid far enough over my sink that it would just drain into the sink anyway. This is one of the best home purchases that I have made in awhile. It is so much better than my old one that at this point it actually makes me happy to do dishes because I love using it so much. I know that will fade over time - but beautiful honeymoon anyway!

I really like this drainer. I have wooden countertops that I don't want to get too wet and have been fighting a battle to find something to stack dishes that doesn't leave water pooling in a tray ready to tip onto the countertop. Given what humans can design, it is strange to me that almost everyone else is making different versions of the same kind of drainer - nobody else has thought to tilt their drainer properly and then add a spout. Why don't normal drainer trays with lips have legs at the back to tilt them? Anyway I am happy that Oxo has been more intelligent and found a new solution. The rack is mostly plastic but very sturdy - it feels like very high quality plastic (this is an early review, but I hope I won't need to update that point!). I really like that the water is contained in the high-sided unit before draining through the small spout without the need for a separate drip tray. Things dry slightly less quickly without the normal air-circulation of more open wire/metal racks and it might take a bit more work cleaning long term, but the trade-off of dry countertops is well worth it. I love the long spout which directs drain water precisely into the sink without having to hang the unit over the sink edge. No more water accidents on the counter because a drip tray - with a wide, hard -to-see lip - was placed slightly wrongly. I do like the fold-down plate rack - folding it down enables you to make alot more room if you are drying items other than plates and the rack is robust and tall so plates sit very securely. I like the plastic cutlery holders - that there are two sets of them and that they fix firmly on the tray - so many other types fall over as more goes in them. These cutlery racks seem robust - I have only just got this unit, so time will tell, but I am hopeful. They could be a bit touch taller to make tall utensils seem more secure, but so far nothing has fallen out. The unit is a bit costly (but seems very well-made) and I wish the outer spikes for glasses were either a little thinner or ( better since thinner ones might break) that there fewer of them so that they can be used more easily - but these are minor points. Really like this drainer - well done Oxo for finding a better solution to drying dishes.

I have a kitchen with not much space so when I saw this after looking around I felt that it would fit me just fine. Fitment wise it was good, it didn't require the use of water drain plate so that saves me space and the hassle of having to deal with two separate things to clean up. The problem however is that OXO did not think the design through beyond the initial idea phase and just started producing it. As others have stated in more negative reviews this dish rack has issues with proper drainage, for one it simply does not have the proper steep angle. Another drainage issue is that the small hole that water is supposed to drain out of is simply far too small, if they had to just have small circles of less then an inch around they should have placed multiple holes on the drainage end of the rack or made a bigger port for drainage. Yet another issue with stagnant water is the problem where water just does not move to where it needs to go, the rack is entirely squared off rather then angled towards the draining point so water just pools all over the rack and does not leak out. Another issue separately to the drainage is that there is simply not enough room for bowls and plates, I'm a single male who lives alone so the amount of dinnerware that sits on the rack isn't significant but even still at times there is still not enough room. On top of that there is no real way for bowls to fit on any of the slots meant for plates to dry, bowls simply slide off of the fold up dish rack. Because of this if you attempt to tilt the rack in a attempt to drain it half of the dinnerware will slide out of the slot and if you're not careful may break or cause damage. Had OXO simply designed longer back feet so that the angle was more steep then it probably would help this problem greatly, however as it stands it's not good enough even for someone who is single and who doesn't use much in the terms of dinner and glassware.

The build quality is good, but you must know that it is VERY gray and not white and a little gray like in the photo. The other misleading thing is that it cannot stand up by itself on the side, though it can fold and lean. I found it unattractive and cumbersome, and the product seller was reluctant to allow a return. I had to throw it away.

Très simple et très pratique Et trop stylé

The cup holders dont have enough space around them to fit a normal cup, the plate ridges are too fat to fit anything other than a straight plate (cannot fit a pan). When the rack is leaning (using the little legs in the back) it doesnt push the water out of the bottom and the water ends up staying on the board for a couple of days till it dries up. Would not recommend this, although OXO generally have great products, just not this one.

Buy it !!!

This dish rack surpassed my expectations. It looks good, is well made and works perfectly - even tall glasses stay standing on the spikes for glasses. It may help to know that the draining spout is on the shorter side of the rack so this determines where it must sit in relation to your sink. You can close the drainage spout if you can’t position it to go over the sink.
