(Backstory) If you're a penny pinching thirty something that's struggling to learn let yourself indulge in a little nicer, more aesthetic, more expensive home goods, because you can actually afford it now, and you know what, you're worth it... This is for you. Go ahead, spend $30 on a dish rack, even though you think it's crazy because you got your 10 year old one at the $1 store. Trust me.
PROS:
This is beautiful. It is modern. It is versatile, and strong enough to hold heavy glass lasagna dishes and pots and pans. It helps organize your knives separate from other utensils. The spout is the CUTEST thing ever. It LITERALLY never leaks, and there's so much air flow it never gets nasty or mildew-y.
I always used to hide away my dish rack in shame, the ugly, paint chipped rusty thing with the leaky cracked plastic drip mat ????
Now, I leave this out all the time. I find myself hand washing pots and pans quickly after dinner now, because it's so convenient! I don't waste time hand drying plastic stuff from the dishwasher, because New Rack is there for me, to air dry my repurposed take out containers.
I love that this expands to allow large items and pans or large quantities of dishes to dry all at once. I also love then, that it tucks away to a normal size, and it actually fits in the exact same spot under my sink where old rusty lived in shame.
I love that all the drip trays are plastic, so I suspect I could put them in the dishwasher, if I thought the water spots ever became unsightly (which, looking at my pictures now, they might be...)
The metal is high quality and sturdy, and if it's painted, it's the kind that won't chip off like a coating could. No sharp edges - and the little non skid feet protect your counters.
The slope in the drainboard is perfect, so that water actually runs into the sink, and doesn't just sit there waiting to evaporate.
Minor critiques:
As others have said, the cup holder is too small for 4 average cups. If you have those tall skinny (highball?) glasses, you're good. (See pictures)
I wish I could have it expand the opposite way- it is a full 26" long when expanded, and my counter is just barely 24” deep to the wall... So in order to be able to utilize the extra space, I have to turn it wide-ways.
If the spout were easier to turn, I might go back and forth when I wanted to expand it, but I suspect it's so tightly attached so it never leaks. It's not impossible to turn by any means, but I don't want to wear it out unnecessarily (so it too, will last me 10 years).
I couldn't understand why dish racks cost so much these days, but now, I know. THIS is worth every penny. ???? It brings me joy.
