KitchenAid KNS896BXGRA Full Size Dish Rack, Stainless Steel, Gray

Product Information

The textured exterior prevents glasses from suctioning themselves to the plastic, a problem we found with lesser plastic racks.

Annam also noted that every now and then the interior of the silverware caddy seems to start rusting (a “brownish” color begins to develop), but that it “cleans right off” fairly easily. If you notice rust on your rack, contact KitchenAid, as this issue should be covered by the limited lifetime warranty. The basin effectively traps water and drains it through the swivel spout without risk of spillage on your countertop. An angled drainboard underneath the unit directs water into the sink so it never pools up, and the soft feet keep the dish rack from damaging countertops and prevent it from moving while loading and unloading. In addition, from year two through the life of this product, any product found to be defective under conditions of normal use and care will be repaired at no charge or replaced with the same item or an item of equal or better value.Not everything can be placed in the dishwasher, and sometimes you know you will need to use that pan or utensil sooner than it takes to run a cycle. We drenched the dishes with cold water and arranged them all on the rack to dry for eight hours (about how long dishes would sit overnight after being washed).

Available in KitchenAid’s most popular colors, expertly measure your favorite ingredients then mix and whisk in a durable mixing bowl with an easy pour spout. Of all the dish racks we tested, the KitchenAid Full Size Dish Rack offered the best balance of capacity and features for a four-person household. The wireframe body is made of rust-resistant, stainless steel with a soft-touch coating that prevents scratches and chips on dinnerware and enamel cookware, and features slots to keep items in place while drying, including an extra-wide slot for a frying pan or cutting board.While the KitchenAid has slots appropriate for plates and other items that may fit, it also has enough open space for you to Tetris your dishes together as you’d like. It is smaller and thus capable of holding less than our other full-size picks; it’s also a bit flimsy and likely not to last as long as our other picks. The Zojila is made of thick, heavy-duty stainless steel wire, and it’s the only rack we tested that has a solid stainless steel drain board. We couldn’t safely put glasses in it alongside large, heavy items—and, in general, putting any glasses in this kind of rack seemed like a bad idea, because it had nothing to hold them securely in place.

Those inflexible dividers couldn’t hold up pots, pans, or large vessels, and using the remaining space for bigger items required precarious stacking and left no room for glasses. The coated wire is gentle on dishes, but the dish slots are angled in such a way that it may be hard to put pots or other large items within them—those pieces may have to rest on top instead, or you may need to bend the slots. The Rubbermaid rack’s coated wire is a bit on the flimsier side and can bend relatively easily, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing; the bendiness can be beneficial, sometimes making it easier to fit unwieldy dishes or to angle your cups on the tines as you please. uk/Home-Kitchen/Kitchen-Dining/KitchenAid-Compact-Dish-rack-with-Stainless-Steel-Panel-in-Grey/p/1464518" on this server.

In our tests, the cup holders still managed to support heavy glasses well, and they had enough space between them to avoid any clanking or scratching.
