The rack itself seems well made and rolls up tight. But my sink has a bevelled counter edge so the silicone ends don't sit flat and it wobbles when I put a heavy bowl on it. On a level counter I think it would be great, mine just isn't.
It does what it says and the steel is good quality. My issue is that I left it sitting over a damp sink for a few days and the silicone edges started looking cloudy and a bit grimy where they meet the counter. Needs to be dried and put away, not left in place.
I went with the 8.9 inch depth thinking it would be enough and it's fine for a few plates and glasses. But when I do a big dinner I'm stacking things and it gets crowded. If you cook a lot, get the deeper one.
No complaints about the rack itself, it's sturdy and rolls up neatly. My only gripe is that if I leave it out overnight the silicone ends hold a little water where they meet the counter. A quick wipe fixes it, just a small extra step I didn't expect.
I measured my sink at 17 inches and figured 17.3 was close enough. It fits but there's barely any overhang on the sides, so it feels like it's perched. Still does the job and drains great, I'd just size up in depth next time.
Works well and dries fast, but my sink has a slight raised lip on one side so the silicone end doesn't sit perfectly flat there. It still holds fine, just rocks a hair if I bump it. Measure your counter edges before ordering, they weren't kidding.
I mostly use it for mugs, bowls and the kids' cups after school. Everything drains into the sink so I'm not wiping the counter every night. The silicone ends grip the counter edge so it doesn't slide when I set something down.
For years the sink sat empty while a rack hogged the counter. Now the drying happens over the basin and I can actually use my cutting board where the old rack was. Wish I'd done this sooner.
I was worried the tubes would bend or the silicone would peel after a month of daily use. Six weeks of dishes, hot pans and rolling it up every night and it looks brand new. Nothing loose anywhere.
Landlord would not be happy about mounted racks so this was the answer. It just rests on the counter edges, no hardware, no marks. When we move it comes with us.
I cook for four so I went with the 14.6 inch depth and it takes everything from one dinner plus the pots. Plates stand between the bars, bowls go upside down over them. Sink is empty underneath the whole time which still feels weird.
Wasn't sure how stable wine glasses would be but they balance on the tubes without wobbling. Water drips straight into the basin instead of puddling under a drying mat like before. My counter has stayed dry for three weeks now.
Liked the first one so much I ordered another for our camper sink. It stores flat when we're driving and sets up in two seconds at the campground. The 8.9 inch depth is perfect for that small basin.
When I'm done I roll it and it slides into the drawer next to my sheet pans, about the thickness of a magazine like they said. Nothing to install, the silicone ends just sit on the counter edges. I got the 11.6 depth for a normal load of plates and cups.
Pulled a cast iron skillet off the stove and set it right on the tubes without thinking. No warping, no melted silicone, nothing. The 304 steel feels like actual metal rather than coated wire, which is what my last one was.
My apartment kitchen has maybe two feet of usable counter and the old plastic rack ate half of it. This rolls right over the sink opening, plates stand up between the tubes, and by dinner everything's dry. I measured 16.5 inches across and the 17.3 fits with a little room to spare.
