Summary: 4 Stars
This dish rack is very heavy, it will not rust I have used mine daily now for over seven months, its easy to clean up too! I give it four stars because of its price other than that it looks great, works great, and will last a life time!!!Customer Review: If you need a dish rack, this is it.
Summary: 5 Stars
OK- so a dish rack is no big deal, right? You wash a few things and stick them on a towel, or in a rubber rack on the counter... job done. So, why do all of the reviews rave about this rack? I figured I'd find out, and if I didn't agree, I'd return it. Well I agree. This rack has organized what used to be a frequent clutter in our all-too-small kitchen. This thing takes bowls, dishes, utensils, pots, pans... all at once! I think, honestly, I enjoy washing dishes and stacking them in this thing over sticking them in the dish washer to "age" until it's full enough to run (Just my wife and I, so it takes a while to load that thing up). We've probably cut our dishwasher use in 1/3 after getting this rack. And, it drains fast, is easy to clean, and fits so nicely next to the sink that it simply belongs there. Well worth the price, I'm sure this rack will last many years, and look just as good in the kitchen after we remodel later this year. In fact, I think this rack is the first step of our remodel! Next, the sledge hammer.Customer Review: Inspiring!?
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I'm embarrassed to gush about a dish drain, yet this aesthically-pleasing and fabulously functional kitchen item inspired me to spring clean my kitchen, which was sorely in need of attention I realized afterwards. My rusty, mildewy Rubbermaid dish drain and drain board were evidently holding me back! :-)
I don't have a dishwasher or a microwave, so I have a lot of pots and pans at mealtime along with the plates for my family of three. I was worried that the rack wouldn't be able to handle the pots at the same time as the plates, but it's not a problem. The design makes efficient use of the space, and I have no trouble managing all the odd shaped items along with the usual plates and glasses.
I can't speak for how long the Zojila dish rack drainer and board will hold up, but it looks like it will have a much longer life than the tacky Rubbermaid models I've used and thrown out in the past. When you calculate the cost and frequency of replacing cheaper models, the Zojila model probably saves money over time.
I'll say this, beyond the $$ savings one gains over frequent replacement of cheap substitutes, it's hard to put a price on having something functional on the counter that's appealing not detracting, and maybe even inspiring! I'm very impressed, and it's quite rare that I say that about consumer products.
Customer Review: Looks better in photos than on counter
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a neat product, but be aware that is it mostly photographed from the side, not from the front or back as it will sit on the counter. When viewed from the front or back it is not nearly as attractive, and looks a little lop sided, from the drainage tilt. It is not just the tray that tilts; the whole rack tilts.
The rack is solid and good quality. It should last a long time.
After a couple of months the utensil holder has fallen apart. I was never happy with the way it looks like it is drunkenly listing on the counter, anyway, so will chalk it up to experience and go shopping again. I have lowered the star rating.
Customer Review: Near perfection, relatively speaking
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed a larger stainless dish rack and wanted to do away with plastic trays forever. But if you've also been doing dish rack research, you know that a good rack is hard to find! Initially I was drawn to the SimpleHuman line, as I have one of their stainless soft close garbage cans, and LOVE it. But after seeing some of the racks in Target and other stores, I changed my mind due to the amount of plastic accenting their otherwise fine designs.
Enter the Zojila rack. Hoo, it's expensive! But on the plus size, it's spacious (2 adults in my household) enough for a day's worth of dishes, sturdy enough to withstand dish pyramids, clears the counter by 2 inches, drains water as described, is easy to clean, and looks BOTH practical and sophisticated - I mean, how "stunning" can a dish rack look, really? Although I am still waiting for the day when someone comes over and gushes over it, like I would if I saw it in someone else's kitchen for the first time. But I'm a nerd.
I'm very satisfied with my rack and am looking no further. However, a few cons made me give 4 stars instead of 5, mostly having to do with initial set up. Specifically, I had to do some metal fabricating to get the rack properly balanced on the drain board. Further pounding was required to fashion a slope so that water would drain off the board. Also, like another reviewer, I have lost a small glass to the end that has a wide opening - although this can be prevented by moving the utensil rack in front of the opening.
All in all, I am quite pleased and would buy this rack again. Just be ready to receive yours with a rubber hammer.
