Tools and Hardware Reviews of simplehuman KT1087 Steel Frame Dishrack
Customer Review: simplehuman may have a new convert
Summary: 5 Stars
I first learned about simplehuman from a very useful blog called Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools (you can Google it if you want). From there I learned that simplehuman has almost a cult-like following of fans of their products.
After buying this dish rack, I just may become a convert to the Cult of Simplehuman. This is really the best dish rack I've ever owned. Even as I write that, I realize it sounds odd to enthuse about something as simple and banal as a dish rack, but simplehuman does such a good job with the design, it's one of those products that brings a small bit of delight to my daily routine. To my mind it's the perfect marriage of form and function.
I know it sounds weirdly obsessive but I spent a lot of time (okay, hours and hours) looking at dish racks online and in stores.
The first and most important criteria I had was an attractive style to liven up my kitchen. This particular model by simplehuman is literally the best looking dish rack I found. The stainless steel skirt that hides the dish rack wires is the perfect bit of flair. It's not gaudy or ornate and so doesn't draw undue attention to itself. But when you do look at it, it is pleasantly minimal with clean lines.
The next most important criteria for me, was a dish rack that functioned well (for example, the water drained off properly into the sink and did not pool under the rack.) And finally, I wanted a dish rack on the larger side, because I do all my dishes by hand (I don't have a dishwasher).
Frankly, I am extremely impressed with how well thought out the functionality of this dish rack is. None of the wires to hold dishes are too high, so it's both easy to stand up plates, and, if need be, lay down pots and bowls. There are cool pop-out wires for drying glasses on the outer side of the stainless steel skirt. When not in use those wires can pop back in flush with the skirt. That is such a thoughtful touch.
And the base under the rack actually drains the water effectively--no pooling under the rack. In the past I've tried rubber dish mats under a dish rack and so often the mats dip in middle so water pools, instead of draining into the sink. This is not a problem with this rack--water drains properly every time.
This is a large dish rack with plenty of room for pots and pans and dishes. But the stainless steel skirt makes it look more contained so it doesn't look overwhelming sitting on the counter.
I'm a fan of products that do their intended purpose with ease. This dish rack does that AND looks good in the process.
