The Best Dish Rack for Draining and Drying All of Your Dishes
It’s said that there are two types of people in the world. And when it comes to kitchen clean-up, that’s true: There are those who have a dishwasher in the kitchen, and those who are the dishwasher in the kitchen. For this second type of person, finding the best dish rack is a very, very real struggle.

In 2017, we gathered 13 dish racks and draining boards from various kitchenware brands and gave them a go in the Epi Test Kitchen. In 2020, we added six more contenders to the mix. We wanted to see if any actual disrupters had made it to market since the last go-round in 2017, or if the prior winners still emerged victorious. Of course, what works in a spacious kitchen may not work in a tiny one, so we broke down our research into two major categories: the best dish rack for a standard kitchen, and the best dish rack for a small one. The results revealed three winners, each of which you can read about below. For more details about our testing method and what we looked for in a dish rack, scroll to the bottom of the page.

Best Dish Rack for a Standard (i.e. Large) Kitchen: SimpleHuman Steel Frame Dish Rack
If you’re looking for a dish rack with all the bells and whistles—and don’t mind the price to match—it’s hard to beat this offering from SimpleHuman. The roomy capacity, sturdy wine-glass rack, four exterior hooks (which can hold coffee cups or dish rags), and swiveling drain spout (which can be positioned to best suit your needs) makes it our winner. The Simple Human’s large capacity and superior draining capabilities put it well above the competition; some of the (still bulky) racks we tested scarcely held three mugs and a plate, meaning you’d be better off just throwing a towel down on your counter. And the draining abilities of many were inexcusably poor…why take the time to sanitize a bowl if you’re just going to leave it to fester in a pool of stagnant muck?

Note, however, that the SimpleHuman’s size is both an advantage and a limitation: it’s large enough that you probably won’t want to move it around much, or be able to stash it away and pull it out only when you need it. For that reason, this dish rack is for a kitchen that has plenty of space on the countertop. (SimpleHuman makes a “Compact” version of this rack, which we also tested, but we found the compact version too big to really be considered compact, yet too small in capacity to be totally practical.)
