NOT THE SAME AS PREVIOUS MODELS!
BEWARE, if you have had the previous versions of the Simple Human dishrack this one is NOT the same.
Biggest issue is that in the previous versions the tray under the cup dryer was retractable, which was great. When you didn't need it you could tuck it back under the unit and save counter space or you could extend it out to cover larger items. It was sturdy, easy to use and could be removed for easy cleaning.
This new version has a static piece that clips in under the unit and is really cheap and flimsy. Aweful. And this also means that the unit takes up an additional 4" of width and it can't be adjusted.
And then there's the stemware dryer? Fine if you want that sort of thing, I was thinking I would use it for drying small cutting boards and large utensils. However, this hangs on the OPPOSITE side of the cup dryer which adds yet ANOTHER 4" of width when in use. This accessory at least folds out of the way. But its more likely that it would have lived under our sink; stored away and useless.
The previous versions also had some nice extras, like a bamboo knife rack and folding pins within the unit to adjust for different sized objects. All gone on this new version. It's all plastic with static parts.
It's sad that they took a really great dish rack that was well worth the money and re-engineered it to be a piece of crap not worth dime.
