OXO Grips Stainless Steel Sinkware Reviews Summary

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "I like the way it looks."
• "Not only is this caddy a perfect size, but it matches our appliances!"
• "It's just the right size to hold everything in a sturdy container."
• "The stainless steel looks nice!"
• "I like the clean design."
• "It fits well into our kitchen decor and matches our other oxo kitchen items."
• "I like the way it looks and the design. Matches my stainless steel kitchen sink, appliances."

Cons:

• "Only flaw is the fact that all my kitchen stuff is black and this doesn't come in black."
• "The only issue with this caddy is that it's a fairly modern design that may not go well in all kitchens."
• "But the exterior looks and feels way more like plastic than stainless steel."
• "The stainless finish on this is a fingerprint magnet and looks unclean because of it."
• "I really like the look of this caddy. After I ordered 2 more I realized the stainless steel isn't the best quality therefore doesn't clean easy and spotless."
• "I like the overall design but somehow the stainless steel stains easily!"
• "I obviously am in the minority on this so don’t go by my opinion. But for me this was an ugly, ugly, countertop item."

Functionality and Capacity

Pros:

• "It holds one regular sized brush and two sponges, no more."
• "Fits plenty of brushes/sponges and I like the excess water draining aspect."
• "I load this thing up with a full scrubber wand, a bottle brush, scotch pads and my Magic eraser with no worries about it tipping over or anything!"
• "Great for my brush and small scrubber. Will not hold my slightly larger sponge."
• "It holds your sponge, and dish detergent."
• "I can fit two sponges, a bottle brush, two straw cleaners, and both sink stoppers in this with a bit of room to spare."
• "Holds several sponges, my small container of antibacterial dish soap, a bottle brush or two and / or my new matching silverware scrubber."

Cons:

• "They do lean a lot though."
• "It doesn’t hold as much as I thought it would, though."
• "The only thing is after washing and letting the sponges dry, I have to flip them over. The end of the sponge doesn’t dry like up top, so I have to flip em over every once and a while."
• "Fits our scrubbing brush and 1 and 1/2 sink stoppers (but we have 2 sinks which means 2 stoppers). If it was an inch wider the brush and both stoppers would have fit perfectly."
• "I wish the center divider didn't also limit you to only use sponges."
• "It does not hold a large dish detergent bottle, but it holds sponges and a hand soap very well."
• "I wish the bottom tray drained into the sink automatically without me having to tip it all the time."

Cleaning and Maintenance

Pros:

• "Its easy to clean. I put it in the dishwasher for cleaning."
• "Mess free. Collects the water from sponges and cloths into a tray at the bottom."
• "It's sturdy and easy to clean."
• "And I like how the bottom has a spout to drain but also pops off easily for a full clean."
• "I love that I can clean the drip cup without emptying my cleaning utensils."
• "It is easy to dump the water that collects in the bottom."
• "The removable base is easy to take apart and the opening to drain liquid out pours easily."

Cons:

• "However, the plastic drip tray underneath cracked."
• "There are tiny holes in the metal which will just rust again."
• "If you don't remember to clean it often, a gross sludge will accumulate at the bottom."
• "The drip collection tray gets super gross after awhile."
• "But remember to clean the tray or it will get moldy."
