Can you use it without the clear plastic bottom tray...just set it in the sink and let the dishes drain that way?

Yes, that's how I use mine. I got it because it would fit in the small side of my sink.

Yes, I suppose you could. You would just have to work the tray out gently as there are a couple of raised points on the plastic to keep it in place. I've done that when I've wash the tray.

Yes. The plastic tray is removable. You'll have to force it a bit, but you'd have to do that anyway to clean it. It does, though, keep my stainless sink from needing to be cleaned as often.

I use it on the counter beside my sink. That way and the water drains out of the rack into tray and then into the sink.

Yes to both questions I guess u could drain out the bottom by disabling the drawer but that offers a lot of storageGood luck

We use the tray for storage, but not daily access. It storage was used daily, it would be a real challenge with removing and replacing the bowls

Hello Danielle, the tray is removable however is the manufacture does not manufacture a matching tray that would fit this to drain. This item comes as is with the tray shown unfortunately. If you happen to find a different tray that would fir this you would be able to replace it with that tray on your own at your own expense of course.Thank YouDaily Drops

Absolutely! The tray underneath fits right up against the lip on the sink so that it will drain right in. We are very happy with this purchase!

Yes. You'll need a mat so the water doesn't sit on your counter. I would look at Rubbermaid 1180MABISQU Drainer Tray.

It will drain from tray but not always perfectly. But when done witness drying dishes. You can fold the dish tray and then thebwaterbtray under has a spout. It's better than others and easy to handle.

The tray is big and dont really for on our dish washer, but it's so easy to clean in the sink that is has never been a problem to us! :)

I use it on the counter and there is a drain hole on the tray for the water to drain back into the sink.

No. I had that one before. It rolls up and food get under it. It's flimsy and doesn't have a catch lip like the tray. Also, the tidy tray too part is removable so you can take it right to the sink. Totally different products. I would buy the tidy tray.

There is a slot to allow water to drain out. I generally hang the open area over the sink for drainage so water does not get on the counter and I tilt it to make sure all water is drained. When using with double sink, I leave in sink but tilt it slightly to ensure drainage after all dishes are washed. Hope this helps.

I have square plates that size. They fit in the rack but I would leave it in the sink as it is intended because it isn't meant to be on the countertop, there is no tray to catch the water.

Well, there's a slit on one end, but the tray isn't slanted. So you would still have to manually lift it to dump the water out. Convenient nonetheless. I have a small double sink and put mine directly in one side so there's no need for the tray. Hope that makes sense!

No. There is no room for that with my dishwasher which is Bosch. I think the specs on dishwasher is pretty universal so my answer is I do not think you can put dishwasher on the drain board side. I have a custom(shallow) drawer on this side for things that are flat like napkins and placemats.

Not me. We put this in our new kitchen in August 2013. The only thing I would change is that I waited a few months to buy the grate that fits into the bottom of the sink (keeping dishes about an inch off of the bottom while letting water and food rinse down the drain). I would definitely recommend making that small investment - but we've loved this sink!
