The cheapest useful thing in this roundup. A raised slatted base keeps dishes out of the water below, and the same tray doubles as a wash basin and a produce colander. Our Best Budget pick.
- Price: ₱350 as of Aug 3, 2026
- Biggest pro: Raised slatted base lifts dishes clear of the water that collects below, so they are not sitting in a puddle
- Main catch: Flat tray has no upright slots, so plates lie stacked and dry slower than they would standing on edge

Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- Raised slatted base lifts dishes clear of the water that collects below, so they are not sitting in a puddle
- Doubles as a wash basin and a produce colander, so it earns its counter space beyond drying dishes
- One-piece plastic has no coating to chip and no welds to corrode, the two things that end a wire rack
✗ Cons
- Flat tray has no upright slots, so plates lie stacked and dry slower than they would standing on edge
- Shallow walls mean tall glasses and bottles have nothing to lean against and tip over easily
The cheapest useful thing in this roundup. A raised slatted base keeps dishes out of the water below, and the same tray doubles as a wash basin and a produce colander. Our Best Budget pick.
What does it do well?
The raised slatted base is the design decision that makes this work. Water drains through the slats and collects in the tray below, so the dishes are never sitting in the puddle they just produced. That is the difference between this and a flat basin, and it is why dishes actually dry. The side utensil holder keeps cutlery upright and separated. The genuinely useful bonus is that the same tray serves as a wash basin and a produce colander, so it earns its counter space on days you are not drying dishes at all.
How well is it made?
One-piece PP plastic with grey feet. That construction removes both classic dish rack failures at once: there is no coating to chip and no welds to corrode, so it will not rust no matter how long it sits wet. What you give up is shape. With no upright slots, plates lie stacked and dry slower than they would on edge, and the shallow walls mean tall glasses and bottles have nothing to lean against and tip over. It is a tray with good drainage, not a rack.
Is it sulit?
Around ₱350 as of August 3, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That is a fraction of everything else here, and the 10K+ sold with 6,597 ratings at 4.9 makes it one of the most road-tested pieces in this roundup. For a small household, a dorm, or a second tray beside a main rack, nothing at this price does more. It will not replace a proper two-tier drainer for a family load.
Who should buy it
Buy this if you want the most drying capability per peso, wash for one or two people, or need a second tray to take the overflow. If you dry a family load daily, buy a two-tier rack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the base raised?
The slatted deck sits above the tray floor, so drained water collects underneath instead of around the dishes. On a flat tray the dishes sit in their own puddle and dry far slower.
Can I use it for anything else?
Yes. It works as a wash basin for rinsing rice or vegetables and as a colander for draining produce, which is why it earns its counter space beyond drying dishes.
Does it hold plates upright?
No. There are no upright slots, so plates lie stacked and dry more slowly than they would standing on edge. That is the main compromise of a tray rather than a rack.
Will it rust?
No. It is one-piece PP plastic, so there is no coating to chip and no welds to corrode, the two things that eventually end a wire rack.
