That electrical outlet right over the sink just blows my mind.

[@carrieblogger]

It wasn’t me - I swear! The previous owners did a home renovation... 😅

[@ChrisJones-qw7bn]

@@carrieblogger I get that..still need to have the plastic plugs inserted to keep splash out. AND you can have an electrician come and remove that particular plug...or at least put a GFCi set of plugs in. Have no idea how that passed inspection....

[@carrieblogger]

Well, we moved, so it’s up to the next owners now! 🙃

[@stevez4519]

Generally, in the US at least, outlets are required to be fitted with GFCI so to prevent shock incidents, if they are within 6 feet of sinks.

Great review but it would have been even better if you showed it loaded with your dishes.

[@dennissharpe8356]

Ended it with a picture full of dishes and maybe mock washed a bowl or plate to show clearance of the top rack and wash ability space. Everyone has a comment. Thank you for the insight.

[@squid5097]

Did you even watch the vid

[@sharonpeek4578]

It would really be great if I could see someone putting wet dishes onto the rack. Don't the wet dishes drip all over you while you continue to wash dishes? I haven't been able to get the answer to that question.

[@Zeahappy]

the metal hex thingy...yeah, it's called a snarfblatt. you could also use a Dinglehopper if you're an expert like me.

😂 😂

Thanks. my wife and I were hesitating to order one of these but now we know it’s going to work just fine .

Cool - glad to hear it. Hope you like it!

[@thesemantisist]

@@carrieblogger does it fit strong on the sink or the marble ?

[@brittanycurrency2941]

So around the perimeter... does the water drain on the counter-tops ?🤔

[@cboucher6465]

Asking the real questions.

[@jamesferrell336]

That's what I was wondering

[@joycedistler4332]

Please tell us

[@sherrypotter9435]

Yes it does, I just bought one and done my dishes and water is all over my counter behind the sink everywhere and im pissed 😤

[@miguelothemelo7396]

I wonder how the rack looks today after usage. It could possibly get sticky or even rust up

[@EddieKimLaCrosse]

When utensils (forks, spoons, etc.) are drying, does the water actually fall into the sink? I've always worried that the water would just collect right on the edge...

[@carrieblogger]

No, it’s not over the sink, so if it’s really going to drip, I’d recommend placing a towel under the rack!

[@boolanny]

@@carrieblogger lol kinda defeats the purpose of drying ..NO?

[@sherrypotter9435]

Worst mistake I ever made was buying one of these over the sink dish racks, water drains everywhere its all over my counter, behind the sink everywhere 🙄🤬

[@SamMaigwa]

Thanks ..😊❤

[@pdxmetal]

I have this earlier generation unit and the updated model. (This model) - The knife holder did not work for my knives; the slot is too wide and the knives fall over sideways or fall back and forth. You can see by the video she has her knives angled and positioned over the little bars to keep them from tipping but they do not stand straight and still on their own. (Updated model) - Adjustable frame length has a nice locking mechanism but the side bars are no longer double braced at the base. It is just an L bar. Upgraded glassware holder hangs off of a basket and hangs well out of range of the sink. Putting cups upside down in the fruit basket is much sturdier. Upgraded/included paper towel holder is useless. It is just a flimsy vertical bar that has no base so the roll has nothing to spin on. It will lean over and as a result can't be spun without using both hands. Silverware holder is wider than most and the upgraded knife holder is enclosed and improved. The problem is the new knife holder is a basket extension and not connected to the main rack like before so your heavy knives will be blindly placed into a slot at or above eye level and be held in place by two small tabs. The silverware also hangs onto the knife holder to add even more weight to it. Both tabs fit loosely and caused my silverware/knife holders to lean. On both models the hooks are very flimsy. They are too long so you can't hang pans from it and fall with the slightest bump. They should make the top portion a snap link so the hook never falls.There are many, many variations of this rebranded Chinese dish rack. Some have better side bars, some have better knife or utensil holders, some are adjustable... These companies really need to sell individual components so we can mix and match because the basic structure of all these racks on Amazon are the same.

[@dalebogucki]

Best review and reply ever! Thank you so much for pointing out how similar all of the racks are. Reviews need to be about product quality, durability, and value! Thanks for this helpful insight!

[@pdxmetal]

@@dalebogucki The original knife holder actually works quite well now that I understand it. It is for larger cutting knives and steak knives and they are designed to be angled and held in place by the front bars. I had to return one of these racks until I found the right one because the baskets were uneven. Maybe OCD but I ended up getting a better, more solid rack. Be picky.

[@lunax71]

I've been looking for these all over the Internet and none of them have water trays underneath them with drain spouts. Same stupid to me have water dripping all over the place. Some of it will go in the sink but a lot of it goes on the counter.

[@LosAsumens]

Geesh.. the electrical outlet... Btw, I think you can also move the knife holder at the back of any dish trays. Only if you still have enough space between the rack and the window.

[@KapitanPoop]

I assume you can't adjust the height of the top rack? I have a small cramped sink area...

[@carrieblogger]

No, the frame has a set shape, but you can change up where you add the racks and baskets.

[@dianeibsen5994]

Hi. thank you for the video. I so wish you would have gotten a close-up of it and also perhaps put a few things on it so I could see you actually using it.

[@paulneumann7739]

How do u find the drilling. You have a marble top while mine has a double sink. Concerned water will get to the wood under the sink flange

[@katwestbrook846]

Homegirl- you did a video about putting something together, so you should own it: hex key (or Allen wrench’) and you would use the hex to unclog your garbage disposal. The hooks on the rack would be ha su to Hang mugs or cooking utensils to dry.

[@carrieblogger]

The Allen wrench (that’s what it was called) was included in the set - same thing that you use for IKEA furniture. I’m not sure that I would feel comfortable hanging a mug on the little hook because they come off so easily, but sure - you could use it for that. The design is flexible. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Letmetellyouastory-tig]

Does the water just drips straight back in the sink? I'm a little hesitant because I dont want a lot of water on the counter

[@carrieblogger]

Most of it hangs over the sink, but not all.

[@naomelescroart7390]

I feel like the water dripping down while you're still washing would be so uncomfortable (especially since I wear gloves and I don't want water running down my arm). Do you have an opinion?

[@carrieblogger]

If that’s a big concern for you, then an over-the-sink design probably isn’t ideal. But if you just wipe off most of the water before you stack it on top, I really don’t think you’d even notice.

[@naomelescroart7390]

carrieblogger yeah, I can imagine it dripping down my arm and into the gloves and I’d feel super icky haha. Thanks for the video!

[@RugRatt91]

Love, love, love your review. I'm totally sold 🙏

[@Robby520]

Nice review, thanks. Getting one.

[@bobwrotenstien315]

What other things could you store in it Could it store pantry items? Does it impede the use of the sink? Storing wet dishes on it sounds like more work than drying the dishes

[@carrieblogger]

It doesn’t impede the sink, but I would worry about splashing water. If storage is the biggest influence, I would store dry dishes on the sink rack all the time and use the cupboard for pantry stuff.

[@destinieroseify]

Could someone who has an over the sink dish drying rack give me some input. I'm worried about it dripping onto my counters. Is this an issue?

[@elsen715]

Does this ever get in the way when you are washing?

[@JohnnyLaRue]

I was unable to put it together. Gonna have to return it.

[@jillm2999]

This is probably not the same one I have but it looks similar. There are no written instructions. No company name or email. Very frustrating.

[@VisualEyeCandyReviewsJust4U]

Excellent video! How is this product working out? Do you still like it? Has any of the paint chipped away anywhere? I appreciate and feedback about how it you like it after the last year or so.

[@carrieblogger]

Given the ample amount of cupboard space in our kitchen, I’m not using it currently. We have more than enough storage as is. However, if we were still living in our previous, cramped apartment, I definitely would! It appeared to be powder coated metal, not just painted, so I definitely wouldn’t anticipate any chips. Thanks for watching!

you use those ikea 365+ lid/chopping board things??!! please can you tell if they've been helpful, if they're worth the buy. like do they actually work as cutting boards?

[@carrieblogger]

I’m honestly not sure what cutting board you’re talking about...

[@QuidditchGryffindor7]

@@carrieblogger oh my bad! i saw the small green rectangular board/object (?) 0:10 and i jumped to the conclusion that it was the IKEA cutting board/lid, it looked quite similar. quite silly of me to think they'd be the same, after all it could be anything, haha :)

[@carrieblogger]

It is a little cutting board, but not also a lid 😂 So you’re right on half of it!

[@vashxux]

Shouldn't your outlet behind the sink have a GFCI?

[@carrieblogger]

Very likely. The previous owners did the renovation and there are several little oversights like that - many of which haven’t reached the top of the to do list yet. 🙃 Thanks for watching!

[@vashxux]

Thank you for the video. Product looks good but aside from the racks on top, everything else (knives, cutting board) will drip dry on the counter. Is that an issue?

Just shake off the excess water droplets into the sink before putting it into the rack and you’re golden.
