5 out of 5 stars Drain Board   April 14, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I dissagree with most of the previous reviews. This drain board looks nice and functions perfectly. It cleans nicely, very sturdy and drains perfectly into the sink. I have had no problem with it slipping around. It does take up the counter width (front to back) but that gives you more room next to it. It is large enough to hold the Metro chromeplated steel dish rack which is a slightly larger size dish rack.


3 out of 5 stars Rubbermaid Large Drainboard   January 27, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The drainboard functions as advertised but I have have one negative comment on it. The underside verticle ribs, while slanted nicely to drain the water off, are made of a very hard material which causes the drain board to slide all over the countertop when even touched slightly. Dishes have to be placed in the top dish drainer carefully otherwise the bottom drain board slides out of position to drain the dripped water into the sink. The very thin underside vertical ribs make it almost impossible to stick on some type of anti slide rubber buttons to aliviate this sliding problem.


2 out of 5 stars Looks great but too slippery   January 7, 2008

This is very nice looking and slanted so the water runs off. It has one drawback, it is much too slippery on the counter top. Needs to have some rubber grips attached to the bottom. I cut a non-slip piece of material to fit the bottom. Works great now.


3 out of 5 stars Looks good, but needs better tilting   December 18, 2007
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The main thing that makes this board a 3/5 instead of a 5/5 is actually the most crucial. It is designed to take the drainage from your wet dishes and silverware into the sink. Unfortunately, it has not tilting whatsoever and the lip at one end only serves to keep the water from spilling on the counter instead of directing it into the sink.

A better design would be tilting it even just slightly more, so that the water would trickle into the sink rather than much of it staying on the board. The board is supposed to be antimicrobial in nature, but with standing water on it, I do not see how that is possible. Don't get me wrong here, it is nice and compact and I would rather have it than not. I just would prefer something that did not need to be lifted to drain the water.



1 out of 5 stars Ultra cheap construction   December 8, 2007
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This product is a perfect example of ultra-shoddy construction, likely the result of serious cost cutting measures at the manufacturer (which used to be a reputable brand). In short, the silverware basket that clips onto the dish rack itself has clasps that bend permanently out of shape and thus become useless after a very short time (in my case five days!) -- and with only a minimum amount of weight applied. The rest of the products is fine, but my suggestion would be to factor in the cost of a new silverware basket when considering this product.
