OXO Good Grips Foldaway Dish Rack

This is the coolest thing for drying dishes. Folds up easily and stores. Very well made. We’ve had it for 2 years and use it everyday. Holding up well.

This is the best dish rack I have ever owned. I have had it for more than 3 years and the silverware holder had a problem. I called the company to see if I could buy that part. The company sent me a whole new dish rack because they didn’t have the silverware holder separate. Talk about going above and beyond! GREAT PRODUCT ~ GREAT COMPANY!

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.

I'd like to give this item 4.5 stars, but I could only score in "whole" stars.🙂 Oh, I still have reservations and criticisms of the product, but compared to what is on the market these days it is GRR-REAT!! I've had it about a month and love it. We both aren't grumbling all the time about having to hand wash the dishes (Our dishwasher is on the fritz & fixing it is not high on our "to-do" list right now so we 'be been hand washing for about 10 months now) as this dish drainer is easy to use, the dishes all fit in it with no problem, it has plenty of space for silverware with 6 separate slots so I can pre-sort as I wash. Not only do our dishes all get dry quickly, it stays clean, algae & mold free and it doesn't look like an alien spacecraft sitting there next to the sink half of the time. And, it didn't cost an arm & a leg, but was very reasonably priced, which was a good thing as I had already paid an arm & a leg for one of those "Stupid Human Tricks" dish drainers. Grrr, stil mad about that!!Like many other reviewers here on Amazon, I have been struggling to find a dish drying rack and drain board for my kitchen's above mount sink. I looked in those quaint small neighborhood "everything" hardware stores, I looked at all of the "big box" stores, the fancy cooking & kitchen supply stores (oh THEY - at one of those fancy kitchen supply places - got me good for one of those "Stupid Human" designs - which turned out to be not only a dud but also an algae farm, but it was fancy PINK algae at least! - and I came very close to buying their very stupidest top of the line dish drainer until I realized that the water from the fancy wineglass draining section of the drainer plus water from one other fancy section drained into trays that had no drains of there own, so that the water just sat there. And then what? It evaporated?There seem to be two common problems with the "dish drainer" products we are being forced to choose from. First - and this is the worst of the two in my opinion - none of the products supposedly designed to use on the countertop next to an above mount sink are actually high enough up to be above the lip/edge of the sink. My sink is a common white ceramic over cast iron sink with two bowls. The lip measures 5/8" higher than the countertop at it's highest point. The "Rubber" drain board I purchased has front feet that are just shy of 1/2" high. Hmm. So, like almost every other reviewer has done, I put a thick board under the drain board to prop it up and make it high enough to actually drain OVER the lip of my sink. The second big issue is that most of the drain boards do not slant enough - if at all - to cause the water to run down INTO the sink instead of just sitting there, stagnating, and eventually, overflowing onto the countertop I guess. So, in order to make the drain board slant, reviewers like myself have had to place something under the far end of the drain board to make it higher than the end draining into the sink. My father-in-law cut my mother a wedge-shaped piece of wood to place under her drain board, thereby elevating and canting it enough so that the drain board that she sat on it actually worked properly. Is there anybody out there who makes these things actually aware of what a dish drain board is supposed to do? I wouldn't think this was so difficult, but apparently it must be as most of the products are non-functioning pieces of you-and-I-know what!!! It isn't Rocket Science people! But perhaps they should at least have an engIneer give it a go, as what is being made cannot have been tested even. Okay, enough with the problem(s) at hand. You want to know if THIS dish drainer at least works. Well, yes. Mostly. I have to say that out of all the ones I have tried it has worked the best, and that I am going to stop looking for anything better because I know that there is NOT another product out there that works as week as, let alone better than this product. But, that said, it is not perfect. I still had to put a board under it to make it significantly higher than the edge of my sink. But it does slant enough on its own that I do not need to put anything under it to make it drain better. The drain hole itself is strange, and I really do not understand why it was designed the way it was - which is that it is "hinged" and can either fold up and close itself off, or it can be opened to allow water to come out of it and go down into the sink. The drain hole itself is small, only 7/16ths in diameter, which is just under half an inch. Why so small? Who knows. And the plug that fits into the drain hole to close it off sticks up on the fold-out spout so that the water is forced to go around it. Another reviewer commented that the water can - and for that person, DID - leak out through the space between the spout and the drainer like through the crack between a door and its frame. That hasn't happened to me. Yet. There's always tomorrow. What I DO especially like is that there are two 3-sectioned silverware drainers, and that you can remove one or both and they can be placed in a different configuration if you find it necessary to do so. We were impressed that we could put so many dishes & pots & pans in the drying rack and that nothing hung over the side of the drainer, which the early 1960's-70's models did I recall, with the glasses hanging all around the outside of the drying rack necessitating a much larger drain board for the rack to sit upon. Hmm, perhaps they should bring back those all-in-one sink and drain board units that I had once in a 1930's era house we lived in. Or perhaps we should all forgo dish racks altogether like my young neighbor does and just use those "new" dish drying mats. Hmm.(NOTE: If you are thinking about installing an above mount sink, DON'T do it!! If you do, you will then struggle with finding a dish rack & drain board that actually works as the rest of us poor tortured souls have been struggling since the 1960's when American Companies actually made quality goods that worked, and they made them here in the States also!)

This brand of kitchenware is of very good quality. This drain basket is very light and easy to clean.
