This looks very cool! Dishwasher safe too? Currently we use a dishtowel laid out on the counter as a dish drainer...any opinions on towel vs dishrack? My husband is a sloppy sloppy mess with dishes...they're always soaked and frankly it's not unusual at all for me to find food/suds still on them (so i re wash)...I worry about mold and nasty goop collecting in the crevices of a dish rack...

One question. Where does the water drain towards?
One comment.
It looks like it'll just overflow onto the counter. So, problem not solved.

@Angrywayne I believe there is a tray underneath that collects the water. It's a little more eco-friendly to collect the water than to have it drain directly into the sink, since you can use it to water plants after you're done. (Or just shake into the sink.)

I love it. Why is this not in my house NOW?

That can really hold up the plates?

Sweet, I need that.

@Angrywayne

I think it sits slightly above the counter, so you put a dish towel or one of those drying mats under it.

I don't know, imagine how mouldy and slimy all those little crevices could get.

I don't think this looks really all that great...I personally have an oxo dish rack that drains with an average amount of rubber coated bars and still have to worry about cleaning and it from grime buildup at least once a month. This looks like it would be very very difficult to clean.

Sure, it looks cool, but in practice, I agree with other posters here that slime and hard water deposits will have that cute little number looking less appealing in short order.

I gladly gave up my disk rack for a dishwasher not only because doing so saved labor, time and water, but also because every single dishrack I've ever owned or seen has to be scrubbed vigorously all too often to remove the scum that accumulates.

I will never willingly go back to dishracks and this one in particular just gives me the willies as regards scum between all the little rods.

A mesh? Sorry - that sounds even more problematic. Plus, the no drainage slope means scum will pile up even faster.

Cute, though. Too bad you'd be tempted to use it.

I don't see why everyone thinks this is a problem. The top part with the spokes is removable, according to the post, and you can take the collecting tray underneath and dump out the water. Unless you leave water standing in there forever, I don't see how there's going to be mold or any buildup at all.

i agree that it needs to slope, needs feet or something to be off the counter, and also does not look sturdy enough for heavy things like a le creuset pot - guess i will stick with old Rubbermaid.

Yeah but who puts a Le crueset pot on a dishrack anyhow? Mine would simply crush one..anyone.

soap scum build up is a problem with all dish racks and with those rods, it looks like a nightmare to clean.

I'm in love...
though I wonder whether it would get scuzzy?
Still, though... looooove.

You can buy a similar dish rack from Boon...it's made for baby items, but would still work - http://www.booninc.com/products/Grass/375

with our pottery dishes this just would not work

it is funky looking but for us just not workable

Those aren't easy to clean without the luxury of a dishwasher. But it would look nicer and simpler than a giant rack on the counter with a messy pile.

I don't like dish drainers, generally, but I've been lucky enough to rent places with dishwashers for several years. When I do have something that needs to be dried, though, I just put it on top of my (off) stove. This would obviously not work with a flat top or induction, but an electric coil-style or a gas kind works well. The water dries quickly, or evaporates.

I want it. Now.
I have about 3 square feet of counter space in my current kitchen and my "space saving" dish rack never seems to accommodate all the dishes (usually resulting in some precariously perched cups and pans).

Looks neat. Too bad I'm hooked on a stainless steel dishrack that I bought from Lowes. It stands on rubber boots and fits in your sink, instead of on top of your counter. Nice space saver, the stainless steel matches the sink so it's not an eye sore, and super easy to clean!

I want this dish rack so badly. It's amazing.

The mold,mildew,slime collection factor puts me off. I'm not sure it's big enough for us,anyway. Do they make nice dish racks for families of 8?

Love it. Nothing could be harder to clean than the one I currently own. I despise it. As long as this one could be tossed in the dishwasher every now and then, I'm sold.

@JuJu_Bee: i don't think anyone makes a dish rack for families of 8! ; )

Absolutely confused, as I have _never_ had a problem with dish racks molding or collecting water scale.

@Deb from Indiana -- Hey, either Indiana has some very special air and water or . . .. . well, you are a forgiving housekeeper. I'm sure it's the former!

I don't know .. . it looks cool, but, yeah, at the first mention of build up/cleaning, I though, oh yeah hm. And also the sitting water part. Not so into that either. Would prefer it angle down and drain into the sink like the conventional ones.

Wonder if they'll make it in colors, though. A nice mold color could work well. Though I'd want orange.
