Amazon.com Product Description
For a convenient way to dry stacks of freshly washed dishes, turn to this highly efficient, space-saving rack. The unit's removable inner wire frame provides generous space for multiple plates and saucers, and its convenient row of tines can be flipped up for additional plates or flipped down to make room for larger pots, pans, and mixing bowls. The rack also comes with four flip-out cup holders, which suspend mugs, plastic cups, glassware, and goblets upside-down for thorough air-drying; an extra-large utensil holder with drain holes that keep air circulating; and a natural bamboo knife-block attachment, which protects various sizes of knives by securing them in an upright position. Even more, the unit's ABS plastic drip tray offers a three-way pivoting drain spout that accommodate any sink's orientation, as well as an extendable design that pulls out past the cup holders to keep drips and puddles off the counter. Other highlights include a solid steel frame, an elegant fingerprint-proof coating that prevents smudges, a sleek look that blends handsomely with any kitchen's decor, and an easy-to-clean design--the drip tray, utensil holder, and inner wire frame can all be cleaned as needed in the dishwasher. The drying rack measures 15 by 21-2/5 by 8-1/2 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.
Product Description

4.0 out of 5 stars
Worth the extra cost? Not clear.,
By The Rocketman (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: simplehuman Dish Racks, Steel Frame, with Bamboo Knife Block (Kitchen)
Given the expense of this dish rack, I wonder how many reviewers are suffering cognitive dissonance to give it a full 5 stars. This dish rack has good features, but some of the downsides haven't been listed here.
a) Worst feature: most of this dish rack is plastic, including the drip tray, the silverware holder, and the bottom portion of the knife holder. The only steel is the outer wall and, of course, the wiring. The plastic drip tray has a very cheap feel to it. b) Best feature: infinitely configurable. True, the spout can only handle 3 directions (it's not long enough to go to the other end of the dish rack), but since you can flip the plastic tray, you can still orient the dish rack with the cup rack facing outward. The inner rack can also be flipped, and the silverware holder can be placed at either end to suit different kitchen geometries. c) The bamboo knife rack is an interesting gimmick, but not tall enough to accommodate anything longer than a steak knife. d) The plastic feet raise the dish rack way off the ground. If you have overhanging cupboards, you probably won't want to use these plastic feet. However, be aware that the dish rack can then move and slide quite easily on the steel wire feet. Overall rating is 4 stars, because this product is better than average both in looks and in function. However, the product is a little bit overpriced for what you are getting. Don't assume premium construction from the premium price.

Not built to last ...,
This review is from: simplehuman Steel Frame Dishrack with Bamboo Knife Block, Grey (Kitchen)
When I bought this dish drying rack 2 1/2 years ago I thought it was perfect for my granite, white, and stainless steel kitchen. It looked good and solid, and seemed to make sense functionally. BUT - I quickly discovered that its flipping capability was useless to me, as I immediately found the configuration that suited me best and stuck with it. Next I discovered the knife insert in the utensils rack accommodates small knives only. You are apt to break off the tip of a medium to large sized kitchen knife if you insert it in one of the slots provided. (In their current product description Simplehuman claims to have remedied that problem. You might want to check.) When I went to give the rack a thorough cleaning I found that though it comes apart (a helpful feature), even the 'parts' are unwieldy and hard to fit in either sink or dishwasher (most unhelpful). The little spout underneath (which leaks onto the counter) collects crud and is impossible to get at properly to thoroughly clean. It is by now permanently yuckky. Within six months after purchase the metal rack had started to rust at the weld joints, where I noticed the plastic coating had already begun to peel away. This has continued, and by now the area under the utensil rack in particular is full of rust. Clearly the plastic coating is not up to life in a kitchen, and there is a ventilation problem. I have wearied of the fruitless struggle to keep the rack clean and hygienic, and am now looking for a replacement. I don't mind paying extra for a superior product, but this expensive rack has not outlasted my cheap old rubbermaid model, as I had hoped. I most emphatically do NOT recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A lot to spend on a dish rack, but worth it,
This review is from: simplehuman Dish Racks, Steel Frame, with Bamboo Knife Block (Kitchen)
The title pretty much sums up my feelings about the simplehuman steel frame dish rack. As with all (or at least, all of the ones I've used) simplehuman products, you can see that someone actually put some thought into the design. The tines flip up and down so you have flexibility in racking dishes and pots, there's a flap that extends to catch drips from cups in the side holders (which flip back when not in use to minimize space needs), and a drainage system that funnels water back into the sink. It comes with a set of plastic feet to raise the rack should you have a sink with a tall lip. I don't, so I left them off - looks better that way, and should be easier to keep clean.
The best feature for me is the knife holder. There's a bamboo insert that keeps knifes safe and secure while drying. Finally a place to put good knives without the risk of damaging or blunting the blade (or cutting yourself). Excellent! A minor quibble - the folding racks are a bit stubborn to move sometimes - you have to press them in so they fold down, which can be a bit awkward, especially with wet hands. This also comes in white, but gray looks better (to my eye) and I hope will be easier to keep clean. While Amazon is an excellent place to buy this, you can also find it at the bed and bath store that has those discount coupons. Depending on sales tax, that can be a bit less expensive. Yes, it's a lot to spend on a dish rack, but I've never been disappointed when buying good quality products -- spend a bit more now, and not have to replace it for a long while. My other simplehuman dish rack is four years old and still looks and works great -- hoping the same for this. 2115|R2S9NO0E7A9Z1Z;2115|R1PXJFMLWRRISE;2115|R3FLRUHCDTPHNN;
