America's Test Kitchen

This smart collapsible rack is too small for a pile of pots and pans but readily fit smaller items. It folds flat for easy storage and can be used on the counter (on a dishcloth) or suspended over the sink, thanks to expandable arms. It’s the best choice for small spaces or light loads.

During our side-by-side testing, the Neat-O Deluxe Chrome-plated showed us some impressive dish-handling and drying skills. During our stability testing, excellent sturdiness was seen; it held our cast iron skillet and fragile glassware with unwavering strength. It is also convenient to lift the full rack and place it in the sink to allow sufficient drying time while freeing up counter space, even with the two glasses on the outside slats. We also like the sleek contrast of black and chrome and found no issues with corrosion or material integrity during our testing.  
The Neat-O is a two-piece set, so if you are looking for a rack with more frills, this is not for you. The one accessory is the silverware caddy, which is removable; however, the 1/4" slats to divide the container tend not to keep the utensils vertical. It is common for the silverware to lean when loading the rack, which may be cumbersome. All in all, the Neat-O is useful for a compact kitchen and best for small loads of dishes, although it is sturdy enough to stack away.

This high-quality stainless steel model drains very well, looks nice, and holds the same amount of dishes as our main pick, but it typically costs significantly more.

This affordable old standard isn’t flashy, but it fit dishes for a family of four, including larger items like a baking sheet, saucepan, and skillet; it has the most plate slots and cup holders and a basic utensil holder. Its angled mat tidily drained off water, but its slant only allows the rack to be positioned lengthwise.

This lightweight, affordable model does the job, but it is noticeably flimsy, has a small utensil holder, and doesn’t come with a drain board. It holds somewhat less than our other full-size picks, but it can still work for a four-person household.
