drainboards are not good
if all the reviews on your drainboard are not good don't you think you change your drainboard back to the original style that works right. The one I used to have drained from the shorter end and now the large ones drain from the longer end and everyone complains how they don't drain right and the material they are made of now stinks. the one I had was perfect but now you can't get it like that anymore. your response to everyones dissatisfication with this product is always the same, time to change it back with all these bad reviews. maybe you would sell more if you did.

Disappointed
Very disappointed with the new style. I have used the Rubbermaid Dish Drainer and mat for over 30 years and the older style was constructed much better. Since purchasing the new style I always have water draining on the counter. The mat is not the same as the "old" style.
You will only loose sales. You should bring back the old style drain board and mat. I'd rather have paid a little more for the older set.

Dish Drainer and mat
I have used the Rubbermaid Dish Drainer and Mat for over 40 years (replacing them occasionally). Well, I just bought a new one that
is supposed to be anti-bacterial, etc. and it is horrible. The
mat is more like a hard plastic and the drainer slips around on it.
Plus the sides are not deep enough to hold the water. My old one
was more of a rubber like material. I bought the small drainer and mat in the bisque color. Not very happy. I probably will return it. Please go back to your original design. I have always used Rubbermaid products.
Thank you,
Unhappy Loyal Customer

Do product designers ever wash dishes by hand?
Large Drainboard #1182
Aside from being clean, this new product is no improvement over our old Rubbermaid one, the new one is a double disappointment. It will not fit over the lip of our stainless top-mount sink. It is too short to reach the sink. And the slope is nowhere near enough to drain water. There is no reinforcing under where the dish rack feet would go; the old one is well-used and depressed enough in the four corners so that water pools there, making it deficient as well.
We are going to return the new one and try for a different system.
To improve the old design, there should be another 1/2 inch rise along high, back edge--so it actually drains fully, and it could be at least an inch bigger in each direction so that mugs, when hung on the rack holders, actually drain onto the board, not the counter. We need the drain board with the long-edge draining to the sink. Thanks for considering our note.

Poorly designed product.
I need to replace my old Rubbermaid drainboard due to a hole. I purchased this board, but promptly returned it to the store. The angle is not correct for all the water to drain, the sidewalls are too shallow and water runs onto the counter. Thankfully--I still have my old drainboard. Guess I'll fix it with some duct tape until I find a suitable replacement. So very disappointed in the Rubbermaid brand. Usually I can count on that product line.

Drain Tray
I have used your products for years and been totally satisfied. However, I have a problem with your new style drain tray and hope I will not have to look for another manufacturer's product. In the past I have used the old style drain tray with the short drain end. I find the new one does not work well at all. I have to angle it so the water drains into the sink and not on the counter. If the tray is accidentally moved (very easy to do) the result is water on the counter. The angle at both ends of the front should be raised even more so water drain into the sink. Are there any plans to manufacture the old style once again?
