I spent £25 on a JosephJoseph one. The cheap plastic one I had before was a nightmare to clean properly and went manky. If your one had been at that price when I was looking, I’d have bought it!

PositiveVibez · 24/07/2018 14:52

I want one!!

LeighaJ · 24/07/2018 14:53

I had a simplehuman one before I moved from the states, it was great, held up well over the years.

BloodyWorried · 24/07/2018 14:54

I’m dyslexic and read this at first as dick rash 😂 Crack on - it’s a nice dish rack.

StaplesCorner · 24/07/2018 14:55

Is it your £30? If so, why are you asking. Do it. When it comes, stroke it for longer than is decent Wink

Velvetbee · 24/07/2018 14:56

S’nice. Will it make you £30 worth of happy? If so, go for it.

theymademejoin · 24/07/2018 15:17

It looks tiny though. If it was bigger, I would.

Lindy2 · 24/07/2018 15:23

Well the full price of £60 would be a bit pricey IMO but £30 isn't too bad. It's quite a fancy dish rack for your £s although it does look a bit small to me.

RatRolyPoly · 24/07/2018 15:24

I read "dick rash" too!

MedicinalGin · 24/07/2018 15:27

I’m so sorry I have nothing useful to contribute but am so reassured that I am not the only one to have misread that as dick rash!! Grin

MagicFajita · 24/07/2018 15:27

Do it!
I treated myself to a fancy two tier one recently , it's so much more spacious and makes washing a bowl of baby bottles and all of the dinner dishes so much easier.

user1483387154 · 24/07/2018 15:32

Yes yabu bit only cause I'm jealous!

SistersOfPercy · 24/07/2018 15:33

yep do it. I have the cheaper version and love it. Only thing I'd say is if you go for the cheaper version don't have white, the sun bleaches it something terribly, which considering most drainers are under a window is a bit shit.

ApolloandDaphne · 24/07/2018 15:35

I have a Simplehuman dish rack and I love it.

Winterbella · 24/07/2018 15:38

If you were paying £30 for "dick rash" I'd say save your money, The dish rack looks ok, I just bung it all in the dishwasher so I wouldn't have the need for it. Its your cash so go for it.

FrogFairy · 24/07/2018 15:41

Buy it! You could just as easily spend as much over the next few years on cheap dish racks that don’t last.

longwayoff · 24/07/2018 15:45

Yes. I like it. Buy it.

BunsOfAnarchy · 24/07/2018 15:47

@MagicFajita a two tiered one?! They exist?!
Now thats a game changer.

Yes, why wouldn’t you?
I’ve got a similar one from Lakeland. It’s been going strong for over 10 years.

MagicFajita · 24/07/2018 15:53

It's this one. You have to empty the tray daily but it's easy enough.

To spend 30 quid on a dish rack?
InspectorIkmen · 24/07/2018 15:54

Do it. I've been mithering about buying a decent dish rack for maybe 10 years - that's how hard I find it to justify that kind of money on the bloody thing. Ridiculous really because I'm quite capable of pissing money up the wall on other shit.

Cismyass · 24/07/2018 16:13

Well i'd get a move on if i were you OP. I just bought one as a housewarming gift so thanks for the heads up and it's £79 on the Simple Human website.

moonandmountains · 24/07/2018 16:18

@Cismyass you bought the larger version, which is £79. So don't worry you didn't miss a bargain Smile

allthgoodusernamesaretaken · 24/07/2018 16:25

I'm not blown away by it myself, but you'll use it every day, so worth buying one you like

BunsOfAnarchy · 24/07/2018 16:29

Husband is now like 'it holds 5 plates thats shit for 30 quid'.

Gonna HAVE TO get the bigger one for 70 quid. That'll teach him.
I will also remind him that as we both partake in the fun activity of washing dishes equally, he must pay half... Grin
