OXO Good Grips Foldaway Dish Rack

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.

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!

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 wasnt paying real close attention i thought this was a white rack but its actually grey. Which is ok it still goes well with my kitchen. Its a really great dish rack it holds alot and looks good. It doesnt drain well unless you tilt it which doesnt earn it 5 stars... but its not a big bother to me. I have to also recomed these other products with it as i really love my 3 combo configuration. This dish rack is sitting on top of a silicon xxxl drying mat which allows me to have a place to put the cutting boards and my daughters high chair tray. I also love OXO Good Grips Convertible Foldaway Dish Rack. Its a simple stainless steal rack that can lay over the sink and rolls up to store to the side. I have used this for so many things like an extra dish drying mat for large pots and other things, to wash produce on, and to place hot things on like a big pot of hot rice. Its all made cleaning up and storing easier.

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 an RV. I looked long & hard for a 1 piece, quality built, compact dish rack that would not cost me an arm & a leg. Something that would retain ALL the water drippings in it's basin (including water from a utensil tray & drying glasses or cups). A 1 piece dish rack that I could easily pick up & stash in tight quarters. A dish rack that would hold more than just a couple of dishes & cups, but would not take up a lot of counter space. I found that disk rack in this OXO foldaway dish rack product. LIKES * Basically 1 piece (counting as 1 pc b/c both utensil trays securely stay put even w/the sides folded up); * Designed so 100% of water drains into drain basin (eg: utensil holder & cups drain INSIDE drain basin); * Drain spout securely attached & opens / closes securely as needed; * Thoughtful, versatile, light weight design; * Quality made, sturdy (not flimsy) plastic; * Stainless steel legs & handles; nothing to rust; * Rubber on all 4 stainless steel legs protects your counter top & slightly adjusts higher on 1 end to allow water to drain down into sink; * Both sides fold into the drain basin for compact storage & easily fits in my RV cabinet below the kitchen sink; * One of the bigger (RV) dish drains w/o taking up a ton of counter space. DISLIKES * None at this time.

I had been researching different dish racks for a couple months and this one has been a dream! My boyfriend and I do not have a dishwasher, and our previous dish rack was primarily made of chrome plated steel. After using it for less than a year, the chrome was corroding and all the water deposits were very difficult to remove. I had my eye on this particular offer from OXO due to its construction with plastic as well as the option to fold it up for storage. I also liked it's streamline design and the option to have a plate rack divider than can be removed or laid down. When I received the package and opened the box, I immediately knew I made the best choice for what we needed. Super simple to set up and looks great in my kitchen. Some people have complained about the draining mechanism but I don't see the problem interfering with the function of the dish rack. Since I have a lot of glassware, I tend to towel dry instead of let things air dry to prevent spotting. After the rack is emptied, I simply tip the dish rack to allow any excess water in the pan to drain into the sink. As for the color scheme, the main portion of the rack is a pale gray and the drip plan spout/plug is a medium gray. I'm so happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, sleek, and modern looking dish rack with very little metal components.

I was searching long and hard to find a good dish rack. I decided to get this one instead. This is made of good quality plastic. It has 8 slots for your plates, it hold 2 glasses per sides. It also has 3 slots each per side to hold your utensils and knives. It has a spout for draining water on it's side. The thing about this dish rack is that it cannot dry the dishes as much as my other racks in the past and here's why. The ridges on this rack is too low that the air cannot circulate underneath to dry the dishes fully well. The plates are okay and the slots to hold your utensils but if you put your cup for example just like in the picture, the inside of the cup is wet until morning because there is no air circulation inside to dry it up. But if the ridges is high, then the air can go in and dry the cup overnight. The drain is somewhat useless also. I have to put something underneath to elevate the other side of the rack to fully drain the water. They put 4 slots for glasses on both sides but you can actually put just 2 glasses per side. It is a good quality but there are flaws that need be addressed and corrected.
