Pros and cons

βœ“ Pros

  • Two tiers plus a utensil caddy dry plates, bowls, and cutlery together, so the counter stays clear
  • Removable drain board has a spout that sends water straight to the sink instead of pooling on the counter
  • PP plastic body wipes clean and shrugs off rust, unlike bare wire racks

βœ— Cons

  • Plastic frame is not as rigid as stainless steel, so a big stockpot or cast iron pan sits less securely
  • You have to angle the spout toward the sink for it to drain, so where you place it matters

The LOCAUPIN 2-tier dish drainer rack dries a full round of dishes in one place: plates and bowls in the tiers, utensils in the side caddy, and drip water routed back into the sink by a removable drain board. With a 5-star listing rating and 3K+ sold, it’s our Best Dish Rack pick for a tidy Pinoy kitchen.

What is it good for?

This rack is built for the daily hugas-plato pile. The two tiers let you stand plates and bowls on their edge so they drain and air-dry faster, while the built-in utensil holder keeps spoons and forks from sliding around. The star feature is the removable drain board with a spout: angle it toward the sink and the drip water flows straight down the drain instead of pooling on your counter. You can set it on the countertop or over the edge of the sink, whichever fits your space.

How well is it made?

The frame is PP plastic, so it’s light, easy to wipe down, and it won’t rust like bare wire racks do after months near water. The drain board lifts out for a quick rinse, which keeps grime from building up underneath. The trade-off is rigidity: plastic flexes more than stainless steel, so a heavy stockpot or a cast iron pan sits less securely than it would on a steel rack. For plates, bowls, glasses, and everyday utensils, it’s plenty sturdy.

Is it sulit?

Around β‚±1,100 as of July 23, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That’s less than a large stainless drainer, and you still get two tiers, a utensil caddy, and the self-draining board. The 3K+ sold and 5-star rating are a good sign that owners are happy with it. If you only wash a few items a day, a smaller rack saves counter space, but for a family’s daily load this size earns its footprint.

Who should buy it

Buy this if your counter turns into a wet dish pile after every meal and you want one rack that dries plates, bowls, and utensils while keeping the water off the counter. If you regularly air-dry heavy pots and pans, step up to a stainless drainer instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the LOCAUPIN 2-tier dish rack made of?

It's PP plastic, so it wipes clean and won't rust the way a bare metal rack can. Keep heavy cast iron off it and it holds up to daily washing-up.

Does it come with a drain board?

Yes. A removable drain board sits underneath and has a spout that channels the drip water straight into the sink, so your counter stays dry. You lift it out to empty and rinse.

What can it hold?

Two tiers take plates and bowls, and there's a separate caddy for spoons, forks, and other utensils. It's sized for a small-household load, not a whole party's worth of dishes.

Is it sulit versus a stainless rack?

For most homes, yes. At around β‚±1,100 it costs less than a big stainless drainer and does the same everyday job. If you wash heavy pots daily, a steel rack is the sturdier long-term pick.

Is LOCAUPIN a trustworthy seller?

LOCAUPIN is an established housewares brand on Shopee PH with a large catalog and a long rating record, selling through its own store. For a dish rack the real risk is rust rather than authenticity, so check the listed material and dry it after use.
