Aluminium does not rust — and that single property is why it is worth paying more for than a coated steel rack. Coated steel looks identical on day one and starts bleeding rust from every chip and scratch within a year in a wet kitchen; aluminium simply does not. This 3-tier rack uses vertical space so a large load of washing up drains at once without covering the whole counter, and it comes complete with a drainer board to channel water, a utensil holder and a cup holder, so cutlery and mugs have dedicated places rather than being balanced among the plates. Built for a working kitchen counter.

Buying guide
Position the rack so the drainer board channels water into the sink and sits level — a board tilted the wrong way puts water on the counter, which defeats the design. Empty and rinse the utensil holder weekly, since it stays wet longest and is where smells begin. Load plates in the same direction so water runs off consistently, and put glasses at the end where they are least likely to be knocked. Wipe under the board weekly. Aluminium needs no rust protection, but do wipe off hard water deposits, which dull the surface over time.
How it compares
Against a coated steel rack, aluminium never rusts at chips and scratches, which is where every steel rack eventually fails. Against a single-tier rack, three tiers handle a full load without covering the counter. Against a drying mat, a rack holds crockery upright so it dries faster.
