OXO Good Grips Foldaway Dish Rack

I shopped around for dish racks - yes, I actually shopped around for a dish rack. I know, I question myself sometimes as well. But I digress... It's a bit pricier than the other ones but you get what you pay for. With the OXO brand it's usually some pretty good quality, excellent design and items that last. We wanted a rust-free, easy to clean, easy to store dish rack that was able to accommodate pots, pans and cutting boards more than dishes and that's exactly what we got. LOVE this rack. It adjusts making it really easy to hold everything. The only chrome is the handle and ours never gets wet because of the design. Genius. But that's OXO! The little drain flap in the front is great. The back has two little legs that pop down so you can place the rack on a slight angle allowing the water to run out the drain in front right into the sink. Close the flap if you don't require drainage. Haven't had any issues with water under the unit so no leaking! That's always a plus. It sits directly on our counters without a tray under it. One less thing to worry about! The two utensil holders pop right out so you can put larger items in the rack. This also makes them super easy to clean. The dish holder folds flat making even more room for larger items. So awesome! You can even fold the whole unit up and stow it away if need be. This is great when you need the extra counter space for other things. It's not super compact like the less expensive chrome and bamboo folding racks but it makes up for that in so many other ways, like not rusting or getting moldy. It's a pretty slick drying rack. I would highly recommend this to anyone who lives tiny, uses pots, pans, and larger cooking items often (more often than you run your dishwasher and/or for items not dishwasher friendly), and anyone who wants something that will last. I'm tired of living in a disposable society. I like that this rack is quality. You can see and feel that it is well made and very sturdy. I forgot to add: Yes the instructions recommend a very logical weekly cleaning. It's not hard to do. I don't even move it from it's spot on the counter. Just take the sprayer from the sink, give it a good spray, wipe it down with a clean soapy sponge, spray again, drain directly into sink through drain hole. Takes me 2 mins. Regardless of what dish rack I'm using, I would clean it anyway because a) It's a kitchen item that gets wet and slowly drip dries and b) It holds clean kitchen items you will eventually most likely eat off of. You should clean all of your dish drying racks regardless of material. Just like you should wipe down your phone - it's common sense.

I bought this in 2017 and it’s 2026. $33 then. The last time I had a dish drainer last 9 years was never. Still looks GREAT. You have to use a brush and scrub it every so often. I have not run it through the dishwasher except for the silverware sections. Nice product. Easy to fold and store.

Changed my kitchen reality immediately. I live in a place with a ridiculously small amount of counter space, but even if I had space, I would adore this drainer. First, I am a dish stacker - more like heaper. I have no dish washer, and I hate drying dishes with a cloth which means I like to get as many dishes piled up as possible to air dry. Though it did not seem like it would be because it does not sit flat on the counter, this drainer is VERY sturdy. It has solid metal legs and a thick plastic drain pan that holds a lot of dishes without any bowing. Second, It is so easy to fold this up and reconfigure it either to move it out of the way or to rearrange it to fit your dishes. I love that feature! Third, no standing water in the drainer! It sits at slight angle so that the water drains out perfectly. I saw in some of the reviews that people had trouble with leaking from the back of the drainage spout. I was so intrigued by the other features that I though it was worth the risk of purchasing anyway. When I got it and set it up, I immediately put a paper towel down under the drainer and poured two liters of water into the drain pan to see if this would be an issue. The paper towel was absolutely dry, so the one I got does not seem to have this flaw. Maybe over time, the space widens and causes problems, but for me it will not matter anyway as I have it slid far enough over my sink that it would just drain into the sink anyway. This is one of the best home purchases that I have made in awhile. It is so much better than my old one that at this point it actually makes me happy to do dishes because I love using it so much. I know that will fade over time - but beautiful honeymoon anyway!

I've been looking for a dish rack that: (A) won't rust, (B) has a drain spout (C) to hold my cutting boards. This one meets all of my requirements as it holds both of my cutting boards and I love the fact that you can customize it. You can fold down the plate rack to have more space and remove the 2 utensil holders (which have fine slots on the bottom to drain water). I'm glad to be free of my old rusty rubbermaid dish rack and hated the fact that the rust would rub off onto my dishes. I generally like to use my dishwasher to store dishes, so this is an added bonus and it holds my cutting boards. It's perfect for a household of 2 and I like the fact that I can fold it up (the two sides with the tines fold into the main compartment) for storing under my sink. I also love the fact that one side has foldable legs to tilt the tray for better drainage. I still folded a hand towel to prop it even higher with the legs in use. I would give it a 5, but I'm being knit-picky with the drainage. Some water does remain because the hole is sort of small and in the center of the long side of the rack (so water does accumulate along that side and can't drain optimally because there is nothing diverting the residual water), but I don't regret my purchase because it's stylish and functional enough. After I wash my dishes, I just jiggle my rack around to divert the water into the drain hole, but that's me being anal. If I were to upgrade the design, I would redesign the side with drain to better divert the water.

The design is great. I like that I can put the dish holder up for pans and plates, or down for pots. Considering I mostly hand wash the pots and other cooking dishes and use the dishwasher for plates, this is the ideal configuration. Easy to clean and keep new despite daily use; I cook frequently so it never actually gets folded and put away. Holds a lot of stuff. My favorite feature: I can use the dish rack to safely prop up and dry chef's knives and long utensils laterally, no rust risks from contact or droplets, and the see through plastic bins make it easy to find and retrieve small parts, like the pressure cooker valves. Least favorite feature: the drain plug leaks. Solution: put the front two legs in the sink. I was worried how this big plastic thing it would look on my kitchen island but given it stays so clean and is not too obtrusive, it's not really a problem. You will not regret buying this over the cheap metal racks that rust; had to throw away the one I got at a big box store with only six or eight weeks of constant use.

I really like this drainer. I have wooden countertops that I don't want to get too wet and have been fighting a battle to find something to stack dishes that doesn't leave water pooling in a tray ready to tip onto the countertop. Given what humans can design, it is strange to me that almost everyone else is making different versions of the same kind of drainer - nobody else has thought to tilt their drainer properly and then add a spout. Why don't normal drainer trays with lips have legs at the back to tilt them? Anyway I am happy that Oxo has been more intelligent and found a new solution. The rack is mostly plastic but very sturdy - it feels like very high quality plastic (this is an early review, but I hope I won't need to update that point!). I really like that the water is contained in the high-sided unit before draining through the small spout without the need for a separate drip tray. Things dry slightly less quickly without the normal air-circulation of more open wire/metal racks and it might take a bit more work cleaning long term, but the trade-off of dry countertops is well worth it. I love the long spout which directs drain water precisely into the sink without having to hang the unit over the sink edge. No more water accidents on the counter because a drip tray - with a wide, hard -to-see lip - was placed slightly wrongly. I do like the fold-down plate rack - folding it down enables you to make alot more room if you are drying items other than plates and the rack is robust and tall so plates sit very securely. I like the plastic cutlery holders - that there are two sets of them and that they fix firmly on the tray - so many other types fall over as more goes in them. These cutlery racks seem robust - I have only just got this unit, so time will tell, but I am hopeful. They could be a bit touch taller to make tall utensils seem more secure, but so far nothing has fallen out. The unit is a bit costly (but seems very well-made) and I wish the outer spikes for glasses were either a little thinner or ( better since thinner ones might break) that there fewer of them so that they can be used more easily - but these are minor points. Really like this drainer - well done Oxo for finding a better solution to drying dishes.

Wow. I think I chose poorly. Happily that item was cancelled. Out of stock. We’ll never know. Small kitchen. Limited counter space. Lots of dishes. No dishwashing machine. OXO has a really solid product. Priced well. I’d almost buy a second one. Absolutely no complaints. I could make a suggestion. The collapsible plate rack. If It were reversible, for my small kitchen it would make adding and removing plates easier. Especially large plates. Limited cabinet space just above the ideal spot for the rack.

I have a kitchen with not much space so when I saw this after looking around I felt that it would fit me just fine. Fitment wise it was good, it didn't require the use of water drain plate so that saves me space and the hassle of having to deal with two separate things to clean up. The problem however is that OXO did not think the design through beyond the initial idea phase and just started producing it. As others have stated in more negative reviews this dish rack has issues with proper drainage, for one it simply does not have the proper steep angle. Another drainage issue is that the small hole that water is supposed to drain out of is simply far too small, if they had to just have small circles of less then an inch around they should have placed multiple holes on the drainage end of the rack or made a bigger port for drainage. Yet another issue with stagnant water is the problem where water just does not move to where it needs to go, the rack is entirely squared off rather then angled towards the draining point so water just pools all over the rack and does not leak out. Another issue separately to the drainage is that there is simply not enough room for bowls and plates, I'm a single male who lives alone so the amount of dinnerware that sits on the rack isn't significant but even still at times there is still not enough room. On top of that there is no real way for bowls to fit on any of the slots meant for plates to dry, bowls simply slide off of the fold up dish rack. Because of this if you attempt to tilt the rack in a attempt to drain it half of the dinnerware will slide out of the slot and if you're not careful may break or cause damage. Had OXO simply designed longer back feet so that the angle was more steep then it probably would help this problem greatly, however as it stands it's not good enough even for someone who is single and who doesn't use much in the terms of dinner and glassware.

The build quality is good, but you must know that it is VERY gray and not white and a little gray like in the photo. The other misleading thing is that it cannot stand up by itself on the side, though it can fold and lean. I found it unattractive and cumbersome, and the product seller was reluctant to allow a return. I had to throw it away.

Très simple et très pratique Et trop stylé

The cup holders dont have enough space around them to fit a normal cup, the plate ridges are too fat to fit anything other than a straight plate (cannot fit a pan). When the rack is leaning (using the little legs in the back) it doesnt push the water out of the bottom and the water ends up staying on the board for a couple of days till it dries up. Would not recommend this, although OXO generally have great products, just not this one.

Buy it !!!

This dish rack surpassed my expectations. It looks good, is well made and works perfectly - even tall glasses stay standing on the spikes for glasses. It may help to know that the draining spout is on the shorter side of the rack so this determines where it must sit in relation to your sink. You can close the drainage spout if you can’t position it to go over the sink.
