simplehuman (r) System Dish Rack
Thoughtful modern dish-drying design from simplehuman (r) isn't just stylish, it's a high-functioning "tool for efficient living." Customized rack includes detachable plate-drying tray; deep utensil holder with bamboo knife block that holds knives upright with blades covered; cup holders; and pour spout that combines with quick-flip feet for fast, directed draining. Extra-long shape with deep sides mean high capacity - up to 14 plates or rimmed bowls. -Stainless steel, heavy-duty plastic and sustainable bamboo -Dishwasher-safe (wipe bamboo knife block with a damp cloth)

A gorgeous dishrack
Date: March 15, 2010
"I finally found a beautiful dishrack that I can keep displayed on my granite countertop. It blends in fabulously with my stainless steel appliances and I especially love the opaque drainer. Excess water runs off, draining directly into my sink. This is a very handsome and stylish apparatus - just what I have been looking for. Thank you!"

Great Rack! ;-)
Date: February 19, 2010
"Really dig the thing. It was just what I needed.
I often let my dishes go so they build up so the thing for me is the size. My sister in-law gave me a small rack and I wasn't getting enough dishes done at a time.So, I bought this and it seemed kind of pricey but then I don't know about such things. It looks good and the best thing to me is it handles the pots, dishes, glasses, cups and silverware all at once.
Seems sturdy and it's good looking, too. Haven't had to use the drain thing too much. Still new so I have time. You're supposed to tip the rack toward the sink? Well, when I did it the water didn't go through the little funnel things it just poured outon all sides and made a little bit of a mess. Likely the amount of water would have dried out in a few hours. But, I like the rack and I think it's worth the money."

"I love this dishrack. It's really pretty, and I think it works great. I particularly love the knife holder. The glass holders (on the side) don't work very well. All the glasses I've tried just slip off. That is the only reason I rated this 4 stars instead of 5."

"I love that there is a holder for knives, I always had problems with other dish racks. Also you can place it on your counter either lengthwise or widthwise, and it is easy to clean the rack and mat."

Crash tinkle tinkle
Date: September 16, 2009
"I've been washing dishes by hand for 42 years, but this is the first time ever that they've slid out of the dish rack and smashed on the floor. The dip built into the exterior of the Simple Human rack sheds bowls and glasses if you don't place them just right. So far two pottery cereal bowls have bitten the dust. Also: tall water glasses will not perch comfortably on the hooks designed to hold glasses: the hooks are not long enough to support a heavy-bottomed water glass. I'd bet this item was designed by someone who uses a dish washer and has never washed a dish in his or her life!"

Awesome Dish Rack
Date: September 6, 2009
"This dish rack is a must buy. Well organized structure with plenty of room to work with but it doesn't take up too much space on the counter. Rack is tilted so that water drains into sink and doesn't pool in the rack. The knife holder is an excellent bonus. High recommendation for this rack. The Superhuman dish rack is awesome."

Best wedding gift!
Date: May 28, 2009
"I dont have a dishwasher and wanted something that would be non-intrusive in my kitchen but yet would stand up to the wear and tear of lots of use. I've had the thing for over a year and besides pulling out the tray to clean the underside once or twice (and that might be me being a little germ-a-phobic), it's been great! I think the cleaning lady managed to bang a corner off the tray but I think she managed to break things more than anyone I know and she's no longer the cleaning lady! :)"

Decent Purchase
Date: May 27, 2009
"The simple human dishwasher provides great space for drying dishes. Love the deep utensil holders with the knife block. The cup holders are great too as they create more space. Only problem is that the drying tray is not a flat surface - it has ridges on the sides and so water tends to pool in these areas rather than go to the drain spout."

"Not having a dishwasher, this dish rack has improved our quality of life! There's plenty of room for all of our dishes, stores neatly on the counter, drains well, cleans up perfectly and looks stylish! I've bought this as a wedding gift for friends, and they say the same!"

Easy to Clean/Lacking Some Function
Date: May 27, 2009
"This dish rack is pretty nice and I like that it has ample space for dishes and glasses inside the rack. My only gripe with it is that it has 4 cup holders but when I put cups on there to dry they often fall off. They work better with mugs but not with 12oz and up tumblers. Large enough for a sink full of dishes (family of 4) and it never leaks. Also, because the opening at the ends are pretty wide you have to be careful with smaller dishes falling out but a little organization fixes this. It is the most comfortable dish rack I have owned even with the cup issue given that there is enough room next to the dishes inside the rack to dry at least 4-6 tumblers side by side."

Heavy Duty? Not so much.
Date: May 27, 2009
"I don't have a dishwasher, so I knew I needed a dish rack that could: 1. Stand up to a lot of wear and tear and 2. Hold a meal's worth of dishes. I've had the rack for 4 or 5 months, and it already has numerous rust spots. For this amount of money, I am very disappointed. However, I do like how large this dish rack is, and I like the drainage feature."

Practical and pretty durable
Date: May 27, 2009
"Not only does this simplehuman Dish Rack look aesthetically nonintrusive in any kitchen, but it is practical for a household of 2-3, it's lightweight yet sturdy, and it fits in a small space. The drain feature works pretty well. The only fault in the design seems to be the wire cupholders are held in place by plastic bases that have broken off over 2+ years of usage. But the overall quality is great for the price, and it is just as mildew-free as any bamboo, teak, or metal system we have used before."
