 Cheaper design. Jul 12, 2007
By Consuma
"Consuma"
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.

Great value; grossly exaggerated negative reviews Feb 19, 2011
By Tiffani Harmon
Don't sweat the negative reviews; there is really nothing wrong with this drainer. It could use more storage space for silverware, but aside from that, it's ideal.
I've seen a lot of people claim there is a HUGE "hole" that dishes can fall out of. This is retarded. There is a SMALL space, which is blocked by the silverware holder, but no dishes could possibly fall out, through this. As for the silverware holder, itself: it would be nice if there were two, but there is nothing wrong with the one included; it is of average size and normal utensils stand up in it, just fine, so long as you're not trying to jam anything huge, in there.
This drainer is well-made, functional, attractive, and VERY reasonably-priced. No, Rubbermaid "doesn't make 'em like they used to," but that's true of virtually any product, from any brand. There are no crazy design flaws, here; just an economical way of holding your dishes as they dry. You could probably find a better dish drainer, but you will not find a better one anywhere NEAR this price.

Practical and spacious Aug 07, 2007
By Ellen Clancy
The rubbermaid dish drainer in black is big enough to accomodate a large dish rack for a full load of dishes. The price--in comparison with offers from other companies--is great and it looks fine in the kitchen. My only concern is that water doesn't really drain into the sink since the slant/design doesn't force the small accumulations from dripping dishes downward. Therefore, I do have to clean/wipe it regularly. It's a great size, though, and a nice deal for the price.

Not Like They Used To Make 'em Apr 29, 2010
By Anton Brooklyn
You would think "what could go wrong with a dish drainer?" But Rubbermaid has succeeded in producing an inferior product to...to their own previous version of the same model!
We had the exact same model from 10+ years ago (now beyond cleaning with rubber cracking) and it has thicker metal and a thicker coating. Now both are thinner, and the wire rack is flimsy, particularly noticable when hanging glasses off the tabs provided, and after attaching the silverware cup on and then off the rack only once it ripped off the plastic coating! My new product was immediately damaged.
The other caveat is that the earlier version had a well placed solid corner cup for silverware, and this one has a less secure side cup, which is positioned exactly where you may want to place leaning bowls. Now, as I am using my older sturdier corner cup on the new rack, there is a portion of the rack missing on that side, so dishes can slip right through.
It's a shame that they didn't have a problem, but Rubbermaid has fixed that! I would have been happy to shell out a few more dollars (this was about $7) to get a better product.

 improved design Aug 05, 2009
By mamapaws

I had an older, white Rubbermaid dish drainer and decided to replace with a new drainer as the other was stained and showing its age. The silverware holder on the new strainer is located in a center of one side rather in a corner as it was with my old drainer and in the photo of the item on Amazon. This change makes the drainer more useful - the silverware is no longer in the way. And with the new design you can slide the silverware holder to an optimum position - super idea. Plus the new design allows you to distribute your silverware rather than cram all into a small corner cup.
