5.0 out of 5 stars Great rack!, July 27, 2007

I started using the dish rack for the first time today, so my review might be a bit premature. It's does a excellent job of running the water out and everything is nicely organized. They've thought of the most important things and have a place for them in this dish rack.

At first, I was afraid the utensil holder would drip all over the counter, but there is only one hole at the bottom and it is clevery made to drip right onto the pan.

Make sure you measure and have enough space for this baby. It's pretty big, especially when you expand the top rack. My rack fits exactly on my counter. I am only able to use one of the two cup holders because of the lack of space on my counter. I am also unable to use the wine glass holders.

I bought my dish rack from BBB with the 20% off coupon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bad Drain Design!, December 8, 2007

I bought this dish rack/drainer because I got tired of trying to keep the hard water scum off of my Rubbermaid rubber version. The dish rack has great features like the knife tray and wine glass holders. The drainer however is a different story. It does not work with a "lip out" type of sink. Water drains everywhere except the sink. I didn't notice it when I first used it and let water drip on to the floor which damaged my hard wood floor. I'm buying the rubbermaid clear drainmat to see if this helps. I'll keep you posted.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not so great for self-rimming/drop-in sinks, October 8, 2007

By

This dishrack is really smart in terms of design, with all the detachable extra features like cup holders, the utensil holder, knife block and wine glass holder. However, there is one engineering point that is missed for those of us who have drop-in/self-rimming sinks (those with a lip that goes about 3/4" above the counter). I have such a sink, and I found that I can't get the feet on the bottom of the drainboard of the rack to rise high enough to create the proper angle for draining water into the sink. If I rest the silver water spout on the edge of the sink, the whole rack sits level to the counter and does not allow the water to run to anywhere, except over the sides when it accumulates. The back legs don't raise the end of the drainboard high enough.
Too bad for me that I have to use a separate drainboard because I don't have an undermount sink. I was excited to use this drainboard that was included, especially since it costs a bundle all together, but it's proven useless because it's too short.
One more point, when you flip the rack out to the side to accommodate more items, water will drip on the counter if you actually place things on the flipped out rack. This is where another improvement could be made to the drainboard, so that it catches the water wherever it goes. That's if you decide to put the flip out part away from the sink like I did. I like to have utensils drip right in to the sink.
