Tortuga Home Goods XXL Dish Mat 23" x 18" (Largest MAT) Durable Silicone Dish Drying Pad with Stay Clean Scrubby | Dish Washer Safe | Heat Resistant Trivet | (Pure White)

This is a great dish drying mat. It fits my space exactly and elevates the dishes off of the bottom, keeping them out of the water. This is a vast improvement from the fabric drying mats that we'd had previously. I also love that it is dishwasher safe!While I did give this a 5 star review, there are a few issues that I hope that the company can offer as alternatives.Drainage. In the very humid south, water evaporates slowly... and the hard water leaves residue when it does finally dry up. I would love to have a version that is like more traditional dish rack systems with one edge elevated and a space for the water to drain back into the sink through. Yes, I could empty the dish mat and drain it myself, but dishes come and go through the day and nothing is ever dry all at one time.I would also like to see the bottom a bit thicker. I am hoping to try this to cool canning jars on and a thicker bottom would make me feel better about protecting my counter top from the extremely hot jars. If my trial goes well with this one, I will likely order an additional one just for canning.Love that I can support an American product and I do hope that they can move manufacturing into the US at some point in the near future as well.

We got this to replace a cloth one was getting too disgusting, and then another silicone one that was too small. The size of this was what convinced me to buy it, but after we started using it, I was even more impressed with how well it works. This will hold an absolute insane amount of water, and the ridges are so deep that I don't ever need to worry about something sitting in puddle not drying. I can wash up a giant pile of dishes, leave them overnight, and when I get up the dishes and mat are both dry.I've been using it for a month now, and am just now noticing that it could stand to be cleaned, but I think it should fit in the dishwasher no problem.Also, the scrubbing brush that they throw in for free works incredibly well. I use an e-cloth sponge with an abrasive pad on one side, and this super-soft brush can scrub away things even that sponge can't remove.Great products, from a great small business located right in my wife's home state. I'll be keeping an eye out for more products from them.

Does what it promises to do.Looks nice, it's big and ample enough for drying pans and thickness is just right if you want to use it as a drying dish rack. And because it is not too thick, it is easy to roll and hide inside your dishwasher if you don't want your guests to see it.Initially, I was thinking of the worst for this because some made comments that this mat was UGLY.TRUST ME, it isn't. It looks pretty decent=). You know what mat looks ugly? Those transparent Bed and Bath plastic dish drying mats that I've been wanting to change since last year but could not because I couldn't find a decent looking mat that complemented my swanky kitchen.Up until I came across these in Amazon last December...Am really glad that the GREY ones are back in stock.Worth the wait. Highly recommend.To these bashers, NO, I don't have an ugly kitchen. My kitchen was flipped by a former HGTV celebrity interior designer, and I have uber pretty kitchen gadgets that I buy mostly from WS and Sur La Table, so I know what good taste means. If it's ugly, I will tell you how it really is and I will not sugar coat my reviews just to please a retailer who's trying to sell her stuff in this website.

Honestly this mat is great. Thick , wide holds a lot of dishes.I only wish it had a slight angle to run of excess water. Over all I'm very happy with the quality and look.I got white and super easy to wipe off dirt.

Works with very well. Stores the water they say it will since I filled a measuring cup & poured on there & it held. Just FYIs: The only 2 knocks I have are that 1. water gets underneath somehow. This may be user error as I may be splashing water on the counter before there is any weight on the mat. None is under the side away from the sink. 2. It has whitish markings on it after first use. But again we have bad water here and require an entire house filtration system so it may be markings from all of the minerals. Our water isn't drinkable without the filtration. It's easy to wash. It does what its supposed to do. The dishes dry well on it. I gave it 5 stars because it does what its supposed to do, feels well made and the only knocks on it aren't the company's fault.

I am using this product as a counter top mat. I bought a new microwave oven, placed it on my counter top, then discovered that just putting my hand on the door handle and pulling it toward me to open caused the microwave to do a dance on the counter. And the door wasn't even opened! This mat is heatproof and is the absolutely perfect size to place under the appliance. No more wiggling around on my counter top, in fact the microwave doesn't move at all. This is a high quality product with a very nice weight to it. And, of course, the mat (with the microwave on it) doesn't "travel" at all. Just perfect!!
