Choose a dish rack with a drip tray for your kitchen counter
A dish rack with a drip tray gives your plates, glasses and cutlery a dedicated place after washing. Compare one-tier and two-tier models, their dimensions, layout and how accessible the drip tray is. Foldable versions are also available; check which parts are included with each model.

What to consider when buying a dish rack?
First, measure how much space you have available on your kitchen counter. Then consider how many dishes you usually wash at once. A compact model may be sufficient for a small household, while a larger family will benefit from extra capacity.
Also consider the layout, the presence of a drip tray and a separate area for cutlery. The material and construction are also important if you plan to use the dish rack every day.
Cleaning the dish rack
A dish rack also needs regular maintenance. Water and food residue can accumulate in the drip tray and around the holders over time.
Therefore, clean the rack and drip tray regularly according to the maintenance instructions for the product. Allow the parts to dry thoroughly before using the dish rack again.
One tier, two tiers or foldable?
Choose a low dish rack if you mainly need workspace under an upper cabinet. A two-tier rack makes use of the height but requires extra space to place dishes on top. A foldable bamboo model can be useful if you want to store the rack after it has finished drying.
Measure the available width, depth and height. Also check that the drip tray remains accessible so you can empty it. A rack with a drip tray does not automatically drain water into the sink; check the construction of your chosen model.
