Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid Antimicrobial Large Dish Drainer, Black
Customer Review: Cheaper design.
Summary: 2 Stars
I recently bought this to replace my previous, 15-year old Rubbermaid dish drainer, which I loved, but which had gotten rusted. This one is not the same design as the previous one. On the original, there was a strip of wire that ran horizontally around the basket, about one inch from the bottom. This strip kept glasses above the edge of the counter. The new design is flimsier and less sanitary, with the edge of the glasses resting on the counter. You also need to be more careful putting the glasses on the prongs on the side, as they could drop against the edge of the counter and crack.Customer Review: Come to the Dark Side!

I replaced a disintegrating white dish drainer much like this one with this new sleeker looking black dish drainer.
I am not sure I like the silverware cup but I am sure I will get used to it. I also would have preferred that it could be removed to carry silverware to the drawer to be put away.
It doesn't seem as sturdy as the one I had originally and I wonder if it will last nearly as long. The cup holders are a bit more flexible and bend much easier. I wonder if that could eventually become a problem by bending too far and breaking off.
I would have purchased this exact item in white but it was almost $5 more expensive. Seriously, I'm buying a dish drainer. It's not like buying something that is actually important.

Good product - looks like photo on-line - I like the utensil holder that comes with it as well.
I wish I would have baught the drip catcher plastic thing to put underneath as well, I'm just using a towel now ...

I actually just got online to find a replacement to THIS dish drainer! It's amazing to me that this is the #1 seller on Amazon - it's garbage! Some of these reviews are from years ago, so perhaps the design has since been changed. I moved into my current apartment in April 2009 and the rusting started on this thing a month ago, so it lasted all of 15 months. I've cleaned it religiously, so there's no reason for rust or any poor wear and tear. I can't even imagine what would have happened had I used this for a whole household of people - this drainer served just two people!
I'll gladly spend more so that I have one that lasts years. Off I go!
Customer Review: Function over form
Summary: 5 Stars
I have spent too many years using "pretty" wooden drying racks made of pine and bamboo, and while they all look really nice they eventually succumb to the same problem: they get moldy.
With too much money spent, I was forced to confront the issue that a drying rack's role in my kitchen is not to add to the décor, but to dry my dishes. And so here we are.
The "Rubbermaid Antimicrobial Dish Drainer" may not be much to look at, but it sure does a great job of its intended purpose. Because it is basically a big, deep bucket, I can pile way more dishes in here than I could on any of my wooden racks, and the side cup-holders are incredibly handy. Those funny little loop-things on the side hold cups and mugs outside of the main dish drainer, which goes a long way in increasing its capacity.
There is a little bucket for cutlery, wooden spoons, etc...some of my longer serving spoons don't stand upright in here, but that is no problem as I just tuck them in the big bowl lying down.
I can't really comment on the "antimicrobial" properties of the drainer, as I haven't had any problems so I assume it is working. All I know is that there is no mold, and my dishes are drying! I couldn't ask for much more!
