GORILLA GRIP100% BPA-Free Silicone Dish Drying Mat for Kitchen Counters, 18x16 In, Water Catching Ribbed Design, Easy Clean Waterproof Sink Counter Liner, Heat Resistant, Fits Under Dry Rack, Almond

There isn't much you can dislike about this product. We own another as well...NO CONS!It's great for air drying dishes after hand washing, placing hot pots/pans/sheets(you name it) right out the stove; no need for hot pads.Other simple uses is to hold items that may slip, spill or simply just make a mess of things as it's VERY easy to clean. It's a solid quality product, great value & a necessity to have in your kitchen!

I purchased the Gorilla Grip Dish Drying Mat to replace my old, worn-out drying mat, and my feelings are mixed.What I appreciated was the size; it comfortably accommodates a decent amount of dishes and the 18x24 inch dimensions suit my counter space well. The slip-resistant silicone feature is great, keeping the mat steady while handling wet dishes, which is definitely a plus.However, I wasn’t completely satisfied with the drying speed. While the product is marketed as a “Quick Dry Pad”, I found it didn’t live up to that claim. Water tends to pool on the surface rather than be absorbed or evaporate quickly, so I ended up having to wipe it down a few times after washing a load of dishes.Another slight drawback is the heat resistance feature. While it’s advertised as being heat-resistant, it did not fare well when I placed my hot pots on it. The surface seemed to withstand the heat initially, but over time, I noticed a few subtle marks indicating some damage.On the positive side, I found the mat to be quite easy to clean. The waterproof design makes it easy to rinse off or toss in the dishwasher. This is a big convenience factor, and I appreciate not having to hand-wash it.In summary, the Gorilla Grip Dish Drying Mat is a decent purchase for the size and easy cleaning, but it doesn’t quite deliver on its quick-dry and heat-resistant promises. While it might be a reasonable choice for small kitchen tasks, for heavy-duty usage and hot cookware, you might want to consider alternatives.Thank you for reading my review. I hope it helps you make an informed decision. Happy shopping!

This thing is a game changer. We don't have a dishwasher and are forced to do all our dishes by hand. With our old cloth dish mat it would get soaked and start to mildew. Now that we bought this silicone dish mat we don't have to worry about mildew growing. If it gets dirty, we rinse it off and wipe it down with a dry towel and its good to go again.

Try as I might, my plastic never comes out of the dishwasher dry. This gives me extra space on the counter to dry the containers and lids. The spacing between the ridges provides airflow to aid in faster drying and keeps water off your counter. They also help in holding the containers to stay in place. Previously we always laid a towel down or left everything in the dishwasher and just kept the racks pulled out.

These are great mats— color is true, serves my purpose of keeping water off granite. One for under clean-side rack and one to hold dirty dishes. See 2 pics. One extra (smallest one) I used as “plate holder” in microwave for hot dishes. That one became spotted after 1st microwaving. If you do not want white spots on blue, but another mat.

An upgrade from the kitchen towel I was using. Would recommend.

Bought this to solve our drying rack issue. The biggest problem is that it can have water collect underneath it if items are not dry enough when putting them on the mat.

I like the size and clean white surface. I wish it had a lip for drainage.
