Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Air-drying dishes instead of using bacteria-laden towels is the safest way to handle them--ask any health department. Using a dish rack also provides an alternative to risking delicate dishes and glassware to the rigors of a dishwasher and to wasting a dishwasher cycle to wash just a few items. The trick is to find a dish rack that's attractive enough to leave on the counter and that won't become covered in soap scum as plastic racks often do. This rack from Polder meets these criteria--it's made of mirror-finish 18/8 stainless steel so it cleans easily and completely. The rack has slots for 12 dishes and a section for glassware. A three-compartment utensil holder hooks on the rack's wire edge and can be removed to take flatware directly to a drawer or storage box. The rack's bottom tray has a rimmed edge to catch water as it drips off dishes. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed dishwasher, July 31, 2000

This review is from: Polder 6116 18/8 Stainless Steel Dish Rack (Kitchen)

I bought this exact same dish rack from another company ... . I liked this dish rack for the stainless quality and for looks. I was very disappointed that it has no sides, therefore cups and bowls, etc fall out continually. Nor does it hold many dishes at one time. The drained water stands in the bottom tray and has to be emptied with each use. The stainless steel will indeed last forever, but not in my house.

2.0 out of 5 stars too small, rusts, September 8, 2006

I actively dislike this dishrack. As noted, plates and bowls slide out because of open sides, it's too small for anything but VERY casual use (don't buy it if you do all your dishes by hand), and contrary to the PR, it does indeed rust. Water catches in the bottom and has nowhere to drain, so you end up with an unsanitary pool of water under your dishes. Not recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs a tray that drains, September 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Polder 6116 18/8 Stainless Steel Dish Rack (Kitchen)

This dish rack looks awesome in the kitchen, but isn't big enough to hold a lot of dishes. The lay out is such that it fills up pretty quick. Since it's only my wife and I, it suits our needs, and any overflow goes into the dishwasher to dry. The only think I don't like about this rack is the bottom tray, which is neither inclined nor any holes for draining. What more is there to say...it's a dish rack, and serves it's purpose. Yes, it's pricey, but should last a lifetime and I can't say enough about how good it looks in the kitchen.
