Agree with Simple Human. I am on my 2nd in probably 10 years but they
have a hard plastic drainer under the dish rack and you can clean any
part of it. Simple Human (love the name because I am) wins.

We have a lot of humidity in the air so being able to clean it all
when needed, works.

I have one in the garage. I know people who have them in the bathroom. I
just buy those Kleenex boxes for the bathroom. They sit in the towel bars.
We have plenty of those and not a lot of counter space.

I will pay for quality merchandise when it makes sense to me. A $60
dish rack makes no sense to me. I could buy one for under $10 and it
would last 5 or 6 years. I just put pots and other hand washed kitchen
items in it. I don't need it to hold treasures.

Agreed... spend $60 on a bra.

True enough. I have a cheap plastic dish rack in the left side of the
kitchen sink. I don't need something fancy or expensive to drain
hand-washed dishes or pots and pans.

I would call 2 in 10 years high turnover and not very good quality...
but you're in Hawaii. All that warm humidity is death on practically
everything.

Rubbermaid also used to make great mop buckets, and I do mean great. Then
they discontinued their good ones, and now all one can get are the crappy
knock-off brand, Continental.

To make it even more frustrating, the picture on the page for the new,
crappy Rubbermaid bucket is a picture of the old, good type.

I just turned down a job offer that paID WELL, BUT IT WAS 5 NIGHTS A
WEEK RUNNING A FLOOR CARE CREW, DOING LOTS OF DIFFERENT BUILDINGS
(damn CapsLock). I'd far rather have less money and get to be asleep
almost every night at 2 am, not scrubbing floors. At least the offer
indicates that my last job must have given me a good reference. I have
another interview next Wednesday. I still love doing floors, but I can
keep doing that as side jobs. If I'd taken the one I turned down today,
I'd have had to sign a non-compete.

Yoose obviously have nothing needing a bra what costs more than $1.99
or yoose would know that cup size has not a whit to do with price. I'm
sure Janet will appreciate my remark and put a smile on her face
and that's all that counts.

I was at WalMart today and picked up one made entirely of plastic with
the drainboard attached for about $4. I'm certain it will last for
several years. Nothing to rust. It will also fit under the sink when I
want to hide it from company.

The would be $60 retail. I shop on sale. I don't have huge boobs, but
I need comfort and "uplift". I only wear Soma brand and I'm very happy
with them.

One in each bathroom. Some day I may replace the one in the kitchen
also but the old one still works.

We really like the sensor soap dispensers. No matter how icky your hands
may be, just wave it under the spout the you get a dose of soap. You
set the dose.

We all have our priorities, but choosing a less expensive item does not
mean the higher priced is a con. Poor use of words, it seems to me. If
you had a good dictionary you could look it up.

Janet shares my kind of prioritizing, spends $4 on her dishrack and
$60 on her rack!

Paper towels in your bathroom at home? Urk.

I did say I'd pay higher prices for some things, if it made sense to me.
A $60 dish drain makes absolutely *no* sense to me at all. My pots
and pans are all good quality, I only use Silpat brand as I found
cheaper silicone mats don't work as well. Stuff like that.

There is no way, I'm sorry, dictionary or not ( I have the Oxford
English Dictionary) that I'd pay $60 for a dish drain unless my kitchen
was to be features in some architectural digest.

I moved out when I was 19. I'm 55 now. Add back in the year or two (I'll
say two) when I moved back in with my parents. Let me think about all of
the drainers I had. The first one was a 70's color. I think it was gold.
I'm sure it was still good when I got the red one. I changed from a gold
kitchen to red and black. It was plastic and it must have broken or gotten
to looking decrepit and I switched to a small black one which I still have.
It's still good but it is rather small. I used to mostly use the dishwasher
and now I don't. So I got the one with the red trim. So that's 4 in about
34 years.

Pretty much a requirement here. Our cat box is in there. I've also had
fungal infections and I have to use paper towels to dry off certain body
parts after a shower. I am not taking chances of spreading fungus even
though *knock wood* it is not a problem at the moment. Also sometimes my
hands get gunky with hair products. I need to wipe them off onto something
before I can even wash them.

Paper towels are very handy for wiping up spills & whatever paper towels are used for.

My paper towel rack sits next to a box of tissues for whatever tissues are used for.

TMI, TMI! God, fungal infections. I really don't want to know where
they were.

My cats' litterbox was in the master bathroom. On a bath mat
(frequently taken outside and vaccuumed) on a tile floor. I didn't step
on it. The floor was clean. I didn't need to have paper towels in the
bathroom. As usual, your experiences are completely different from that
of normal people.

Then I guess my whole extended family isn't normal as we all have paper
towels in there. I have two cats and once in a while one will get a little
something on the side of the box. Rather than having to empty the whole
box, I use a paper towel to clean it up. They also sometimes deposit a
hairball on the floor.

Much handier when cleaning than having to lug a roll with you from room to

How do the 'sensor soap dispensers' work? Just curious.

Kind of makes life more interesting that way, doesn't it?

You have a problem with sanitation? Of course we have regular towels,
but there are times a paper towel is better to use. Need to wipe the
vanity top or toilet seat? What would you use, your hand towel?

Our household also has a very low incidence of colds and other illnesses
and that may be a factor.

That's fine, but it is not a con. Check your OED.

Battery or rechargeable powered, they dispense liquid soap. You just
put your hand (or sponge or cloth) under the spout and you get a shot of
soap. You can adjust the amount dispensed.

I buy their soap, but you can use any with the correct viscosity.

Exactly. Used to be that I had to run to the kitchen every time I needed a
paper towel. Especially to do things like clean a spot from the mirror.
Yes, I do sometimes have cleaning wipes in there. But we probably go
through more paper towels in there than we do in the kitchen!

Hands free... kind of like in some public bathrooms. You put your hands
in front of it and it dispenses foamy soap. Oh, you also have to buy
the special soap. Need something else to use batteries in? Buy a
couple of automatic soap dispensers. And when the batteries die, hope
you have more batteries.

Me, I'm not afraid to use a hand-pump liquid soap dispenser.

Thank we do have high humidity here in the rain forest.

OT: I used to have a nice camera with fine lenses that were eventually
etched by the fungus that grew in constant humidity. Didn't think it
was possible.

Algae etches my dish drainer too.

I'm happy with those, love the ones that foam.

Though Rubbermaid changed the product substantially in the last several
years, Amazon lumps reviews of the old satisfactory model with the new
unsatisfactory model.

LMAO! That's exactly what I thought when I read it just a few minutes
ago. ;-D

Thanks. That does make it difficult to use their reviews. The reviews are
dated, but you are correct that there does not seem to be any attempt to
link reviews to "updated" models.

Apparently your extended family *is* different. All I ever had to do
was walk to the kitchen to grab a paper towel or two to clean up any
kitty misstep. Sorry, but I never met anyone who keeps rolls of paper
towels in the bathroom.

No one (heh) has problems with sanitation, Ed. Lots of us simply don't
keep rolls of paper towels in our bathrooms. When I clean the toilet, I
use a toilet brush, not paper towels. When I clean the sink/vanity or
tub, I use a clean cloth which I can wash.

Guess what? I haven't had a cold in decades. :-D

Well, I'm sure that a lot of people do because the Kleenex that are meant
for the bathroom are frequently sold out. They are not rolls. They come in
a box. And no this link is not owned by me.
