Pros and cons

โœ“ Pros

  • Swivel spout turns to point at the sink, so drip water leaves on its own instead of sitting in the base
  • All-plastic build cannot rust, the failure that eventually kills most coated wire racks in a humid kitchen
  • Lift-out plate divider means you can clear the deck and use the base as a plain draining tray for pots

โœ— Cons

  • Plastic frame flexes under a stack of heavy stoneware plates in a way a steel rack does not
  • Spout only drains when the rack sits higher than the sink lip, so a low counter leaves water in the base

The self-emptying one. A swivel spout turns to face the sink so drip water leaves on its own, and the plate divider lifts out when you need a plain draining tray.

Does the spout actually help?

Yes, and it solves the most annoying part of owning a dish rack. Every tray-based rack collects water, and every one of them has to be carried to the sink and tipped out, usually after it has already overflowed onto the counter. The swivel spout turns to point at the sink so the base drains itself continuously. The catch is physical: the rack has to sit at or above the sink lip for gravity to move the water. On a low counter or a deep-set sink, the spout is decorative and you are back to lifting the tray.

How well is it made?

It is all plastic, which is both its weakness and the reason it will outlive the wire racks around it. There is no coating to chip and no steel to rust, so the classic dish rack failure simply does not apply. In exchange the frame flexes: a stack of heavy stoneware plates loaded at one end will bow the deck in a way steel would not. The removable plate divider is a genuinely useful touch, since lifting it out turns the rack into a flat draining tray for pans and chopping boards that no plate slot will hold.

Is it sulit?

Around โ‚ฑ799 as of August 3, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That is entry-level money and it is the cheapest way into a self-draining rack from a known brand. Against the steel racks it gives up rigidity and holds a similar amount; against the bare plastic trays it adds the spout and the divider. For a small household with the sink at the right height, it is the sensible value pick.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you are tired of emptying a dish tray and your counter sits high enough for the spout to drain. If you dry heavy stoneware or cast iron daily, buy steel instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the swivel spout work?

The spout rotates so you can aim it at the sink. Water collected in the base runs out through it instead of sitting in the tray. The rack has to sit level with or above the sink lip for gravity to do the work.

Can I remove the plate divider?

Yes. Lift it out and the base becomes a plain draining tray, which is useful for pots, pans, and awkward items that will not stand in a plate slot.

Will plastic hold heavy plates?

It holds everyday dishes fine, but the frame flexes under a stack of heavy stoneware in a way a steel rack does not. Spread the load rather than piling it at one end.

Does it rust?

No. It is all plastic, so there is no coating to chip and no steel underneath. That is its main advantage over the wire racks in this category.
