Kitsure Large Dish Drying Rack – Extendable Dish Rack, Multifunctional Dish Rack for Kitchen Counter, Anti-Rust Drying Dish Rack with Cutlery & Cup Holders 27″ L x 12.9″ W, Black

Can a dish drying rack bring you joy? Yes. This one can.
(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.

With a few minor changes, it would be perfect.
This is the best dish drainer I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned quite a few. I would suggest a few minor design changes, though.1. The spout should be a couple inches longer. My sink is a stainless steel drop-in with a wide apron that sits atop the counter, and the spout doesn’t quite reach, but drips onto the apron.2. The silverware and knife caddies should be a couple inches deeper, as taller items can fall out.3. When this drainer is oriented so it expands toward the edge of the counter, the plate rack should be near the wall instead of near the edge.4. The prongs designed to hold drinking glasses are much too short. They work fine for coffee mugs, but I’d be afraid to put tall glasses on them. Also, there are only four of them.5. The rails around the edges should be taller to better hold larger loads of dishes that need to be stacked precariously into the drainer.Most of the time, the above mentioned issues don’t bother me too much. I just take extra care. But they would improve the product, imo. Now for the positives…1. It holds a LOT of dishes, even when collapsed to its smallest dimensions.2. The knife rack is awesome, and the silverware caddies are roomy.3. It’s wicked easy to clean.4. It’s attractive, so I don’t mind leaving it on the counter. Additionally, it doesn’t seem to pick up hard water stains the way the Rubbermaid drainers do. (I previously had a black Rubbermaid drainer, and it always looked terrible because the hard water stains would NOT scrub off.)Overall, I’d rate it 4½ stars, and I’d definitely buy it again.

Easier to assemble and sturdy.The water flows through so easily so it is always clean. Don’t need to drain all the time as it has a hole to drain itself.Very large and can be extendable which was one of the features I really liked about.

It is a beautiful piece . Looks good on top of kitchen. As described, you can extend and make it shorter. The drainage spout could be longer a bit cos too close to the sink. If you want to put the drainage spout you have to tap it hard to connect. I like the knife container but fit small and medium not a big knife.it drains well. The place for glass i think is in the wong side. I put mine at yhe side and place my chopping board instead of caps.My plates are big theres no enough support . My plates always bend altogerher to one side which i am afraid that it gets broken , otherwise its perfect!
