Tools and Hardware Reviews of simplehuman KT1031 Flip-Top DishrackCustomer Review: Not so great for self-rimming/drop-in sinks Summary: 3 Stars
This dishrack is really smart in terms of design, with all the detachable extra features like cup holders, the utensil holder, knife block and wine glass holder. However, there is one engineering point that is missed for those of us who have drop-in/self-rimming sinks (those with a lip that goes about 3/4" above the counter). I have such a sink, and I found that I can't get the feet on the bottom of the drainboard of the rack to rise high enough to create the proper angle for draining water into the sink. If I rest the silver water spout on the edge of the sink, the whole rack sits level to the counter and does not allow the water to run to anywhere, except over the sides when it accumulates. The back legs don't raise the end of the drainboard high enough.
Too bad for me that I have to use a separate drainboard because I don't have an undermount sink. I was excited to use this drainboard that was included, especially since it costs a bundle all together, but it's proven useless because it's too short.
One more point, when you flip the rack out to the side to accommodate more items, water will drip on the counter if you actually place things on the flipped out rack. This is where another improvement could be made to the drainboard, so that it catches the water wherever it goes. That's if you decide to put the flip out part away from the sink like I did. I like to have utensils drip right in to the sink.
