Over the Sink Dish Rack

Icegoddess — Sun, 20 Jun 2021 17:18:03 GMT

I can't imagine using that thing. My sink is not at a window, but it would still ruin the view. Even if the sink was against the wall, I wouldn't want my dishes dripping onto the back of the sink. I have a hard enough time cleaning that area as it is.

Too bad they don't have a video on this item. I need to see it fully loaded. Didn't see the presentation.

To me it looks like a bear to keep clean. I just see dishwater splashing all over and sticking in all the corners.

In fairness, I did not see entire presentation. I just caught the end and my first reaction ..."no way....this will not be a good seller....too many other ways to dry dishes....looks top heavy...." Easy pass....

This doesn't look clutter free to me.

Everyone has different needs...friend lives in a tiny home & uses a over the sink dish rack since counter space is limited, having a large sink was important to her so the rack works great.

I'm assuming this is for drying dishes. Wouldn't the counter between the sink and wall end up with water on it? I'd be worried about standing water damaging that area.

My first thought was the water dripping down my arm when I put my arm up to put the wet dishes in it.

Amazon has a bunch of these racks, most much less expensive with free Prime shipping.

Looks like a big clunky thing over your sink & back wall. I just use a padded dish mat and dry & put my dishes away as soon as possible. I would hate that thing over my sink. It's visually unappealing and looks huge!

It’s NOT for me .... such a redicilious invention .... it is ugly & I can see the water from the draining dishes all over the counter 👎

Why can I see dishes falling into the sink and breaking????

I don't see this as being a wonderful addition!!!

@Kachina624

I think with dishes falling, the video would be called a "thriller"!!!!

@ECBG It does create a very cluttered look but would be handy for those short on space.

I know I probably am in the minority but I detest dish drainers. I use my dishwasher and anything else washed by hand gets dried immediately by dish towels and put away. Then I thoroughly clean and dry my sink and the area around it.

To me dripping dishes and the mess they make seems so unsanitary. I don't like the clutter either.

Like we need more drips more drips around the sink.

Then where on earth to store that monster?

I would think it would stay right where it is, not stored. I use my dishwasher. I have never had a drain board for dishes as I don't hand wash.

I've also not been interested in one of the 'over the sink' types. I do keep a small dish drainer on one side of the sinks and that works fine for me.

Under it I have one of those mats that slopes down at one end so that any drainage goes into the sink, so it's a perfect set-up for me.

Ideally, maybe no dish drainer at all but I always have things that I hand-wash daily so it's just not practical to either not have one or to be able to put it away at any time.
