KitchenAid Compact Dish Rack — 16.06-Inch Gray, Space-Saving Rust-Resistant Steel with Angled Self-Draining Board

KitchenAid’s Compact Stainless Steel Wrap Dish Rack is a small-footprint, rust-resistant drying rack with an angled drainboard and removable flatware caddy designed to keep countertops dry while air-drying up to nine plates and several cups.

This space-saving dish rack delivers practical drying capacity for kitchens where counter real estate is limited. Built with satin-coated, rust-resistant wires and stainless steel panels, it combines durability and airflow to speed drying while resisting corrosion. The rack assembles without tools, features nonslip feet to protect surfaces, and includes a detachable drainboard that guides water straight to the sink.

How much kitchenware can this compact dish rack hold?

Despite its compact footprint, the KitchenAid rack is sized to handle everyday loads: enough plate slots, cup space, and a separate area for utensils. Its layout optimizes vertical storage so dishes dry without overlapping.

• Holds up to nine plates
• Fits five cups and additional glassware or bowls
• Includes a removable three-compartment flatware caddy
• Open-wire design allows airflow for efficient drying

What keeps the water from pooling on my countertop?

The rack includes an angled drainboard that channels runoff directly into the sink, preventing standing water beneath the unit. The tray detaches for quick cleaning and reduces the risk of countertop staining or moisture damage.

• Angled drainboard directs water into the sink
• Removable tray for easy rinsing and drying
• Soft, nonslip feet elevate the rack and prevent surface scratches
• No tools required to remove or reattach the drainboard

Is this dish rack durable and rust-resistant?

Yes — the rack’s heavy-duty wires are satin-coated to resist rust while stainless steel panels provide structural support. The finish helps keep items secure and promotes airflow without flaking or discoloring with normal use.

• Satin-coated, rust-resistant wire construction
• Sturdy stainless steel panels for daily wear
• Design resists corrosion in humid kitchen environments
• Lifetime Limited Warranty from KitchenAid for added confidence

How does the flatware caddy improve cleanup and storage?

The detachable caddy separates forks, knives, and spoons into three compartments for faster drying and simpler unloading. Because it pulls free from the rack, you can carry utensils to drawers or a dishwasher without bending over the main unit.

• Three compartments keep utensils organized
• Removes easily for convenient transport to drawers
• Detaching reduces clutter when loading or unloading
• Hand wash only for long-lasting finish

Who is this for: This KitchenAid Compact Dish Rack is ideal for apartment dwellers, RV kitchens, or anyone with limited counter space who still needs reliable drying capacity. It suits households that prefer air-drying over dishwashers, want rust-resistant construction, and appreciate a simple, tool-free setup. Choose this model when you need a durable, low-profile drying solution that keeps countertops dry and utensils organized without sacrificing performance.
