KitchenAid KNS896BXGRA Full Size Dish Rack, Stainless Steel, Gray

Product Information

The drain board is designed with the perfect pitch to avoid water pooling in the rack and is removable for quick and easy cleaning. PREMIUM QUALITY: The heavy duty, satin-coated, rust-resistant wires keep items secure and allow for airflow to quickly and efficiently dry dishes. In addition, the spout is not compatible with many overmount sinks, and the smooth plastic feet slid around on our counter.

Once attached, the tray slopes toward your sink and allows water to drain down and out impressively well. For one year from date of purchase, under normal use and care, KitchenAid will replace this product free of charge, if it is found to be defective in material or workmanship. The wires have a rubberized coating that is relatively gentle on dishes and could help prevent rust over time—though we’ll have to continue using this rack to see how the coating holds up. You can also choose to let water run out of the spout or cover the opening with the included drain cap if you’d rather just let it air-dry or the orientation doesn’t work for your counter. In a previous life, she served as the managing editor of Culinary Backstreets and The Art of Eating, and she has written for Condé Nast Traveler, Feast, Jamie, Saveur, and Tasting Table, among other publications.Featuring a variety of durable kitchen tools and gadget, Kitchenaid has your favorite color to match your stand mix, blender and more! The Chef’n holds plates upright with tall plastic prongs on the outside and shorter prongs on the inside, which allows you to set dishes in it any which way. SELF-DRAINING: The angled drainboard directs water right into the sink without pooling, allowing for smooth draining and keeping countertops dry.

Even in homes with a dishwasher, dishes can pile up, making it difficult to wash and dry them all if you don’t have a good, space-efficient dish rack that can pack in a lot without leaving any delicate items perched precariously. Easy to clean: Lin also noted that the best dish racks should work for someone who is lazy—someone who is not likely to clean the dish rack more than once every few months and who is also not likely to have a dishwasher to throw the rack in whenever it gets gross. In contrast to the Chef’n DishGarden’s pebbly exterior, the Umbra Tub’s slick surface may form a seal when wet glasses or bowls are placed upside down on it. The Steel Frame Dishrack held more dishes at a time than almost any other rack we tested (aside from one multi-tiered model).

Dish racks can develop hard-water stains or accumulate gunk over time, even though you’re loading them with clean dishes, so it’s important to be able to clean your dish rack regularly without too much hassle. Outlets and voltage differ internationally and this product may require an adapter or converter for use in your destination. You can always opt not to activate the warranty—judging from our experience, it’s still a sturdy dish rack. In our tests, the only time the water didn’t drain perfectly was when we poured three cups of water onto the rack—the excess water spilled out the back of the tray.
