A single-tier wire basket for the narrow strip beside a sink, with a two-compartment utensil holder on the side. Small on purpose, and honest about it.
- Price: ₱1,400 as of Aug 3, 2026
- Biggest pro: Single-tier footprint fits the strip of counter beside a sink where a two-tier rack would not stand
- Main catch: One tier and a short plate row limit it to a small household’s load, not a family dinner’s worth of dishes

Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- Single-tier footprint fits the strip of counter beside a sink where a two-tier rack would not stand
- Two-compartment utensil holder clips to the side, keeping cutlery upright and out of the plate slots
- Open wire basket lets air reach every side of a plate, so dishes dry without a damp patch underneath
✗ Cons
- One tier and a short plate row limit it to a small household’s load, not a family dinner’s worth of dishes
- Tray sits directly under the basket with no spout, so you lift and empty it by hand rather than letting it drain to the sink
A single-tier wire basket for the narrow strip beside a sink, with a two-compartment utensil holder on the side. Small on purpose, and honest about it.
Who is the compact size for?
This is a rack shaped by a constraint most Pinoy kitchens share: there is one usable strip of counter beside the sink, and a two-tier rack does not fit in it. A single tier keeps both the footprint and the height down, so it slots in beside the tap without blocking the window or the cabinet above. The open wire basket lets air reach both faces of a plate, which is the practical difference between a rack and a tray: nothing sits in its own puddle.
How well is it made?
Powder-coated steel wire in the same finish as the rest of the Masflex line, with a black drainage tray under the basket and a two-compartment utensil holder clipped to one side. The holder is the sensible part of the design, keeping spoons and forks upright and clear of the plate slots. The compromise is drainage: the tray has no spout, so water pools until you carry it to the sink. On a small daily load that is a five-second job, which is presumably the trade the compact size assumes.
Is it sulit?
Around ₱1,400 as of August 3, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That is mid-range money for entry-level capacity, and you are paying for the brand’s build rather than for volume. The honest comparison is against the plastic drainers at a third the price: this one is more rigid and will not flex under stoneware, but it holds a similar amount. Worth it if you want steel in a small space, not if you want the most drying area per peso.
Who should buy it
Buy this if your only free counter is the narrow strip beside the sink and you wash for one or two people. If you regularly dry a full family load, a two-tier rack saves you a second pass.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is it?
It is a single-tier rack, designed to sit in the strip of counter next to a sink where a two-tier frame will not fit. It holds one round of plates and cups for a small household.
Does the tray drain into the sink?
No. The tray sits directly under the basket with no spout, so you lift it out and empty it by hand. If you want water to leave on its own, look for a rack with a swivel spout.
What does the utensil holder do?
It clips to the side and has two compartments, so cutlery stands upright and stays out of the plate slots instead of lying in the basket.
Is it strong enough for daily use?
For plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery, yes. It is powder-coated steel, so keep it dry and avoid chipping the coating, which is where rust starts.
