Polder KTH-615

The Polder KTH-615 is a four-piece kit that includes a very durable dark gray plastic drainage rack that rests at an angle to allow draining water to run out of the board's five-inch mouth. The stainless steel rack is sturdy, with six glass holders around the outside edge, which is a convenient feature. It stacks big dishes and bowls on the dish rack posts with great stability. When dealing with a higher load size, the removable drying tray comes in useful, and the cutlery bin is one of the largest found in our side-by-side testing. Overall, the Polder ranks top in the durability and sturdiness ratings, making it an excellent sink companion.

Specifically, while assembling the robust drain rack, it did not lock or snap into place onto the stainless steel rods, making it fairly difficult to reassemble if misaligned. Despite the drainboard's five-degree slope, water tends to pool up and halt at the edges; this is a recurring motif with many of the wide-mouth drainboards. The good news is that drainage boards may be simply emptied and dried after usage. Overall, the Polder has enough of room for our dishes and equipment; it may also be a suitable choice for bigger households.
