5.0 out of 5 stars Happy with my choice, June 21, 2009

This review is from: simplehuman Slim Dishrack, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)

So far I am happy with my choice: sleek modern design, clean lines, easy to clean (just run plastic parts through a dishwasher) and, surprisingly, the actual rack is narrower, than described. It's only 13 inch wide, 19 inch long and 8 1/2 high. Also the rack is sturdy, holds my pots and pans nicely and thanks to the semi transparent plastic does not look too bulky.

2.0 out of 5 stars Drain impossible to clean, July 19, 2011

By 

Lise Nelson - See all my reviews

This review is from: simplehuman Slim Dishrack, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)

Overall we loved this dishrack at first... very sleek, and didn't find the problems mentioned in other reviews (size of rack vs. plastic sheet that catches the water and directs it to your sink). But after about 10 months we ran into what we consider the BIG problem with this rack: the drainage "gutter" underneath, which directs it to the stainless steel lip that directs the flow of water into the sink is IMPOSSIBLE to clean adequately. YOu can removed the stainless steel piece to clean it, but the gutter-type think itself is hidden under the plastic grooves. Gunk and mold have built up, forcing us to buy a new one after less than a year!! I even tried using an old toothbrush to carefully clean it out, but after a while the build up is disgusting. Very disappointing and an incredibly stupid design choice. When considering a new one, we like some of the newer designs by simplehuman, but they all seem to have a similar drainage system, which will lead me to buy something else.

1.0 out of 5 stars simply too many flaws, December 9, 2010

This review is from: simplehuman Slim Dishrack, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)

I was very disappointed at this product, simply there are too many design flaws. First, the drain dish is smaller than the frame, so water drips all around it, staining the counter top (especially granite) with calcium buildup. Secondly, the drain dish is made of hard plastic with the deeper rest on one side. The shallow rest doesn't hold the dishes well, sliding down too much. Thirdly, the stainless frame has too big of a gap on the sides, so smaller dishes fall from the rack easily, possibly breaking your dishes. Fourth, but not the least, is the silverware rack. It has holes on the sides, and silverware tend to get caught in them, making it hard to get out, especially if you have curvy-stem silverware. And, the silverware rack is deep and its mouth is small, so even female hands have hard time getting smaller items out. The only good thing which was my reason to get this product, is the bamboo knife block. it is very good to have it for your safety. The bamboo surface starts to chip in the matter of a month, however. What a shame....
