can you use on counter without draining into sink or does it always drain? I have weird set up.

Hi...When water is draining off the dishes,etc there is a small hole that allows for draining into the sink. I don't know how you would change this since it's the feature that makes this rack unique in that it doesn't need to have anything under it. It's very well designed, a bit small however, but it works for me. Good luck! Gabriel

It sits flat, I have mine in the sink and I have to tip it to get it to drain so the water runs out. I guess it would depend on how much water is in it if it's on your counter. If it gets full, it would drain out to your counter, I would think. But, I really love it! We're on well water, so it gets a bit scummy from iron deposits and stuff, but I use a brush on it to clean it. Nice set-up for a 2 person family's dishes. Not huge but you can put a lot in it if you have someone drying them or you don't have many dishes!

It has a horizontal slot to drain water on the non-handle side. I have mine set up to drain directly onto my counter, and I just put a dishtowel below the slot when I am washing dishes. For just a dish or two, there's not really a lot of water to drain, and I don't bother.

It always drains. I've had it on my counter right by the side of the sink and it drains in to the sink. My double sink has a large deeper side and a smaller shallow side. This drainer fits in to the smaller side perfectly. I've even rinsed strawberries and other foods in it because the prongs that stick up are fairly tall and a hard plastic. I find that this drainer holds a lot of dishes. I'm glad I found it and I love that I could get a red drainer to match the other red touches in my kitchen!

It always drains, so when I have mine on the countertop, I make sure the little holes (at opposite end of silverware trays) are positioned over the lip/edge of the sink. I guess you could cover those holes with something-??tape??-and then UNcover when you put it back in the sink.

Yes, that is exactly how I use mine. My husband drilled several holes through the plastic drain pan it comes with so it wouldn't hold water. I didn't want the metal scratching my sink or leaving rust marks so I place the plastic drainer down first to protect it.

I never have any sitting water in the sink itself, I assume theres a small amount in the pipe below the sink, which is why i always run the drain an extra couple seconds after use. But I never have any sitting in sink itself. Mine was professionally installed though, so I can't be of much help on if yours is installed incorrectly.

Yes you need to drain it. If you are running it continuously and you don't drain it the water will drain onto your floor.

There is a sort of extendable ramp that is supposed to drain the water right into the sink - which means that it should be placed at the very maximum 5 inches away from the sink. I personally wanted to placed on the very other end of my kitchen and so what I did was take the grease cup that came with my George foreman and place it immediately below that drainage ramp and it worked perfectly.

I have had it for 2 months and never had to drain it. It reuses the water it collects to cool the room. Not that it NEVER needs draining. But if it did, the drain is right at the bottom. You would have to slide a tray under it and use that to drain it.

I am using a stainless steel sink with stainless drain. I am having problems with the soap pump. also you need a deep sink to use this faucet otherwise it will splash back on you.

Depends on whether or not your sink has a lip or not. If it's level with the counter-top it will drain. Otherwise, you'd have to tip it up into the sink to drain it. That's what I do and it's fine.

I never use the drain but I do use the timer. So I set it for 3 or 4 hours and then empty it when it shuts off.

I have not experienced that. I relate to your wonder. For the price and all. I would say that this works best of anything out there and I love love mine. Great quality and look pretty in the sink when you keep them emptied.

What do you mean? I dump mine into a nearby sink. If you mean continuous drain, you'd attach a hose to the back of the unit, and that could go into a drain.

This is very good for me...Drain directly hanging on the sink.There are holder which are fitted and perfect size.

Mine lets it COMPLETELY drain tho in my opinion, slower than my sink beside it. The circular edge on mine has some rubber stuck on underneath it but does NOT make a water tight fit so water does drain thru it too. I will say the fit is perfect for my sink drain and makes a MUCH quieter garbage disposal underneath this sink. Just for the noise reduction alone, I'd recommend this.

I bought a stainless Houzer sink and also an extra drain basket strainer. It turns out that the Houzer sink comes with a matching drain basket, and all the necessary hardware to attach the sink to your countertop. So, I ended up with an extra drain basket that I never used.

Not sure what the other reviewer got but mine def has a whole for water to drain into the sink. It's on 1 side so you just flip around to whatever side of the sink you use it at.

Not really but the larger sink is deeper and you have to be careful if you drain will still work. (depending on the height of the outlet on the disposal)
