The Original Dish Drying Mat XL Microfiber, Absorbent, Machine Washable, Fast Drying (Cream)

Purchased the xl dryaing mat. Was disappointed when I received it and saw it had a Bed Bath and Beyond price tag that says $7.99!

This is a fake...not the "Original" brand. The brand name was ripped off and the hanging tab with the brand name was also ripped off. This looks like the "Envision Brand" that is sold cheaper. Look up the Envision brand and you will see how the hanging tab is supposed to look. This was re-branded and re-packaged. I do like the size for use in my camping trailer, but the quality is not what I expected, as I have a larger "original" one that I have been using in my kitchen for years that I love.

This product is an excellent improvement upon the idea of placing a dish towel under dish-drying racks. It is a 1/2" thick pad which is cushiony and absorbent . I placed it under my dish rack and have not looked back since. This pad seems to miraculously absorb the water dripping from the drying dishes, while keeping your counter top dry and clean. I was worried about the possibility of mold developing under this pad, but that has not occurred.When the pad has been in use for awhile, it can be easily washed in a washing machine, hung on the line to dry, and re-used. I liked the properties of this product so much that I purchased a second pad. It is certainly a visual improvement, it gives a far neater appearance to the area where I dry my dishes. But, better yet,, it truly works well by absorbing all of the water dripping too the counter. I can highly recommend this product, you will not regret your purchase.

Awesome product, originally bought for canning set-up but have bought more of these mats over time as they are useful in so many situations. I now have 2 for our downstairs "canning kitchen". One for placing hot and dripping mason jars before filling and another for allowing the finished product to cool and settle overnight. The mat provides both a soft and absorbent surface for the filled jars to sit as they are still hot and can't be placed on a cold counter top. I also bought a mat for the upstairs granite countertops that always seem to be wet and constantly in need of wiping down. Now I put one of the incredibly absorbent mats down before cooking and take in up when I finish. (I use the black side of the mat because it blends in with the counter tops and doesn't look like more "stuff" sitting out on an already cluttered space.) No more constantly drying off the countertops during meal prep,and many fewer wet dish towels at the end of the day. I love this product,can you tell? :-)

I really like this product. I hated plastic mats under the dish rack on the counter so this took away that. With the plastic ones, we always got mildew if it wasnt rinsed off every other day, too much of a pain. This one we have no mold or mildew and it is easy to just throw in the washing machine when dirty.

This really does dry the dishes super fast, and it itself dries faster than other generic mats I've bought at big box stores. Make sure to put it with the mesh side up! There's something magical & dare I say "desiccating" about that mesh. That's where the magic happens.I've laundered it, both washed and dried it by machine, and no visible wear or tear or damage. I like the neutral color too, blends in nice with my countertops.

This mat is just what I have been needing. It works perfectly for my needs. I have a dish washer and it works well but it runs for what seems like 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. I like to conserve water and energy so I don't use it often but I like that it is there. I wash by hand and place the dishes on the mat after washing and rinsing. The mats are attractive, they seem to allow the dishes to dry quickly, they do not get sopping wet. They keep the counter perfectly dry they look stylish if you have to wait for awhile before putting the dishes up. The mat dries quickly and usually is only damp it folds to about a fourth of it size and stores out of sight, no odor or staining. I wash the mat on the short cycle and let it tumble dry briefly.I bought the black and the tan because I thought I might need 2 if I had a lot of dishes and, I wanted to see what color I like best. I purchased the large size and I generally just use one. I like both colors but I think that I may like the tan best.

This product is not anywhere near the quality it used to be. The picture online looked the same except for color. It is not the same. It's thinner and less absorbent. Not worth the money.
