KitchenAid Expandable Dish Rack 24" — Full-Size Black, Rust-Resistant with Angled Self-Draining Board

The KitchenAid Full Size Expandable Dish Rack is a rust-resistant, tool-free-assembly countertop rack that expands from 20.5" to 30.8" and directs water into the sink for efficient air-drying.

If you prefer air-drying dishes but need a dependable, low-maintenance solution, this full-size KitchenAid rack gives flexible capacity, a removable angled drainboard, and dedicated accessories for flatware and stemware. Its satin-coated wires resist corrosion, while nonslip feet protect countertops. The design balances heavy-duty construction with easy cleaning and compact storage when not expanded.

How much can this dish rack hold and how does expansion work?

The rack handles a full load of everyday items: multiple plates, glasses, cups, flatware and even pots and pans when arranged thoughtfully. The telescoping sides slide outward to increase drying area from 20.5 inches to 30.8 inches, giving extra slots for plates and more room for larger items.

• Dries up to 11 dinner plates, 6 cups, 4 glasses plus flatware and cookware
• Expands smoothly to accommodate larger loads or collapses for small kitchens
• Angled slots and spacing promote airflow for faster drying

What features help keep my countertop dry and make cleaning easy?

An integrated angled drainboard channels water directly to your sink, preventing pooling beneath the rack. The drainboard is removable so you can rinse and wipe it separately, and the satin-coated wires resist stains and rust for straightforward maintenance.

• Angled removable drainboard directs runoff into sink, avoiding countertop mess
• Satin-coated, rust-resistant wires wipe clean and maintain finish
• Soft nonslip feet prevent sliding and protect surfaces from scratches

Are there accessories for flatware and delicate glassware?

Yes — the rack includes a two-compartment flatware caddy with a built-in bamboo knife block and a stemware attachment for wine and fragile glasses. The caddy detaches for easier unloading and can be hand-washed to keep utensils sanitary and organized.

• Removable flatware caddy with two compartments for sorting utensils
• Bamboo knife block secures blades safely and keeps them separate
• Stemware holder supports delicate glasses upside down for secure drying

Is this rack durable and easy to assemble?

Constructed from heavy-duty steel wires with a satin coating, the rack is built for everyday kitchen use and resists rust. Assembly requires no tools — parts snap together for quick setup and the rack stores compactly when not expanded.

• Heavy-duty satin-coated wires for stability and corrosion resistance
• Tool-free assembly and removable components for quick cleaning
• Lifetime limited warranty from KitchenAid provides added confidence

Who this is for: This dish rack suits households that prefer air-drying dishes, families who need flexible capacity for mixed loads, and apartment kitchens that benefit from an expandable footprint. It’s also a good match for anyone who wants rust resistance, easy maintenance, and accessories that keep utensils and delicate glassware organized.
