OXO Good Grips Foldaway Dish Rack

Just having had a new kitchen fitted, we decided to get a wall rack for dishes to save space, as most stuff goes in the dishwasher. But then the dishwasher connection needed replacing! Got this on the grounds that when entertaining we do sometimes use non dishwasher proof stuff, so something durable but stowable would be good. Very pleased with the design and durability of this. It fits happily on top of the cupboard when not in use, and doesn’t take up too much space in general whilst still holding easily enough for a days load of dishes for two of us. I love the way you can slope it and drain through a spout into the sink. Just make sure the dog hasnt jumped up and moved it if you dont want water on the surfaces! Well up to the brands usual well deserved reputation, a very good buy. Of course the next day delivery was very useful in this case...

Wouldn't normally review something as banale as a dish rack but this one is awesome! The design means all the water runs down a single spout, straight into the drain. This means no more cleaning all the water and marks underneath as you do with a normal rack. Also if you're short on room it's great as the rack itself can sit on the kitchen work surface, either with the spout down and over the edge of the drainer, or with the spout up as a completely sealed unit which can be placed anywhere. Other nice touches are the plastic spikes for holding glasses - they are over a "lip" which means plenty of air gets into the upturned items. You get almost none of the condensation you get when placing glasses to dry on a normal rack. Straight into the cupboard, no additional polishing required. Everything else is neatly designed - good cutlery holders which are clear, which is great as you'll see any dirt/mold as soon as it starts appearing. And such a cool design for the plate holders which can fold flat if you're drying larger items. And while I don't use the ability it's neat that it all folds up. It's not perfect though... There aren't many grooves for plates. The advantage of this is the plates are well spaced out and dry super-quickly. However you can realistically only stack seven plates, so not great if you're cooking for a larger family. Finally the colour is an odd choice, a light grey which doesn't really go with most other kitchen plastics, which tend to be darker in colour. However overall very happy with this purchase, makes a tangible improvement to the kitchen!

I bought this having read several reviews. I wanted something that would be easy to clean and expandable, and can easily be put away if needed. My first reaction was boy this is big (I had a chrome standard metal one before), but once I got used to it, its actually really useful. The spikes on the side are great for glasses and mugs and there is plenty of room for cutlery. The plate holder is good but most of our plates go straight in the dishwasher, so I have found it a bit troublesome for saucepans and the like. Love the fact that you can rest it up at an angle and the water drains away, and a big plus for me is because I have a steel sink, it means I don't have to spend ages cleaning the draining board all the time, as it used to constantly need cleaning to remove the water marks. So, 4/5 because it is a bit big, and theres not the best solution for saucepans

Have been looking for a well designed and practical dish rack for several years-this fits the bill. The size is good for a small family/couple. Materials are good quality plastic which feel robust and long lasting. There are several good design features including 2 removable cutlery holders, a fold flat dish rack if preferred and flip out feet which tilts the whole platform towards a drain plug. The plug itself opens to release water directly into your sink and closes to contain drained water. The incline works and does drain water efficiently. Have tried to think how the design could be improved and haven’t come up with an answer yet.

AN AMAZING DISH RACK! OVER THE PASSED 30 YEARS OF LIVING IN THE LONDON AREA WITH HARD WATER IT HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE TO FIND A PERFECT DRAINER THAT CUTS DOWN ON THE CLEANING AND GET A SHINE ON STAINLESS STEEL SINK TOP. FINALLY I HAVE FOUND THE IDEAL RACK...... I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND THE RESULT IS THAT MY SINK TOP IS STILL SHINY FROM THE DE-SCALING I DID BEFORE I INSTALLED IT. WHEN CLEANING THE RACK I RINSED IT WITH SOAPY WATER AND COULD SEE THAT THE WATER WAS JUST COMING OFF THE INTERNAL PART FORMING SMALL DROPLETS AND SLIPPING THROUGH THE LITTLE DRAIN OUTLET WITH NO RESIDUE LEFT BEHIND. MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS THAT IT WAS PLASTIC AND WAS GOING BACK IN TIME WITH USING TACKY LOOKING DRAINER BUT THIS ONE HAS A GOOD LOOK ABOUT IT IN MY KITCHEN AND FITS IN NICELY. MY HUSBANDS OPINION WAS "ITS OK BUT NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO PUT ALL THE DISHES ON IT" I DISAGREE, NOW THE DISHES ARE PUTAWAY AS WELL AT THE SAME TIME AS BEING WASHED...... ITS GREAT!!! NO MORE DISHES LEFT OUT TO DRY, LEAVES WATER MARKS WHICH I HATE.

Normally, I don’t write reviews, but I had to for this one! The quality is superb. I bought my first one six years ago and I’m still using it—it looks and works as good as new. These products are truly high-quality. I loved mine so much that I bought more as gifts, and everyone was impressed. I’ve had so many compliments! The subtle colour is beautiful too. With the Black Friday deal, I’m grabbing another one just to keep in stock. Highly recommend!

Really like this dish rack, as it holds so much, and you can also unclip the plate rack and leave it flat to accommodate pans etc. It is worth noting that the instructions which come with it say that the utensil holders and plate rack are top dishwasher safe, but nothing about the base unit. That's okay though, as there are no fiddly holes to keep clean, and a quick wipe down of the base is all it needs. The sides fold out with a positive click, as does the plate rack, just make sure you measure your worktop space before you order. Love the fold down rear feet (to elevate the base for draining), the spout to direct the water into the sink and keep the worktop dry, and the fact that the unit is up off the drainer by around 18mm so it doesn't foul the remote sink plug knob. Highly recommended!

On the surface of it this is a great product but there are a couple of flaws which are really irritating me already. The spout which drains water into the sink doesn't lock into place when it is pointed down and I've found it's really easy to accidentally knock it so that it's not pointed completely down without realising which results in all the water pooling underneath the drainer instead of draining into the sink. It has happened so frequently I'm going to have to re-sand my brand new oak worksurface as it's covered in really bad water marks. If it just locked into place this wouldn't happen. Also, because it's a folding one (which is a great feature) it's getting grotty in the cracks and crevices really quickly. I've taken a toothbrush to it but where the sides fold it's quite tricky to clean. Aside from that, it's a really good product, so it's a shame that these two little niggles are spoiling an otherwise great design.

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.

The build quality is good, but you must know that it is VERY gray and not white and a little gray like in the photo. The other misleading thing is that it cannot stand up by itself on the side, though it can fold and lean. I found it unattractive and cumbersome, and the product seller was reluctant to allow a return. I had to throw it away.

Très simple et très pratique Et trop stylé

The cup holders dont have enough space around them to fit a normal cup, the plate ridges are too fat to fit anything other than a straight plate (cannot fit a pan). When the rack is leaning (using the little legs in the back) it doesnt push the water out of the bottom and the water ends up staying on the board for a couple of days till it dries up. Would not recommend this, although OXO generally have great products, just not this one.

Buy it !!!
