OXO Good Grips Stronghold Suction Sponge Holder

This my favorite sponge holder. It’s easy to attach to the sink and holds are regular sponge. I attached mine closest to where you’d stand, if you’re at the sink. When I installed it, I made sure the sink wall was dry. Lots of positives: 1. If you position it right, you can’t see the sponge holder until you get close to the sink. Which I like when you have guests and the sponge isn’t in plain view. 2. It’s durable/substantial, made of thick plastic and has a strong suction cup. 3. It does what it’s supposed to do, holds a sponge and keeps it off the bottom of the sink, which allows it to dry. 4. The drainage holes are big enough to let water through 5. It’s easy to clean 6. I like how it looks 7. It stays put and doesn’t slide down 8. You can remove the one piece so that if you have a big pan the holder won’t get in the way. 9. Longevity wise, we just replaced our old one from 5 years ago. It still worked, but wanted something that looked newer. This is a great value.

Oxo can do no wrong in our household. It’s my go-to brand for kitchen tools/gadgets. I have zero complaints on this so far. It’s easy to use, well-made, attaches well to the stainless sink, and I’d imagine it’d be pretty easy to keep clean. It makes the sink area look tidy as I used to have just a sponge holder on the counter. I only wish I had bought it sooner.

An honest review as I've had this piece for 5 yrs.now. I have an old metal sink. 97% of the time it is suctioned on and doesn't move. But yes here and there it slips off. Usually when I am doing really heavy cleaning of large pots and pans that keep bumping it, when the whole sink needs cleaning well as embarrassing enough, sometimes a full deep scrubbing occurs once a month. (Or longer...don't judge) Or when the sink is getting hit with oils from PTSD and pans often. But again it falling off is usually the reminder, I don't know, TO CLEAN! So I clean everything well, toss it in the dishwasher, dry up the sink area and once it is out, I resuction it back on. That is it. It is small but sturdy and 5 yrs later it is still used daily in my kitchen sink. I toss out sponges faster than I need to reattach it. I definitely got my monies worth. I did have those plastic no pressure suction ones prior, and those really do fall off daily. This one uses a pressure lever for the added attachment like a needy toddler always sticking around.

It's easy to mount and has room for a few things. The only issue I have with it is every few weeks the suction cup used for mounting the unit let's go and I have to re-mount it. Maybe that's from all the moisture? Not sure, but I don't mind much. It's easy to stick back whre it was and then it's good for another few weeks. I like having this inside my sink, less clutter on top and the sponge dries better in the basket.

I began living alone recently for the first time in 20 years and had to learn some new details of housekeeping. One of these (I noticed it at a friend's house) was the suction-cup sponge holder for the kitchen sink. Wonderful invention. Don't recall seeing this two decades ago. This OXO product is excellent. Sturdy, well-designed and with a tray that can hold a thick sponge. One comment: I noticed on the 1- and 2-star reviews people complaining hat the suction cup doesn't hold. That's likely because they failed to read the directions on the package. You don't wet the suction cup and press it onto the wet sink wall. It will fall off easily if you do that. Instead, the cup has a lever that you release after detaching the tray. Then you place the DRY cup against a DRY sink wall and press the lever inward to lock the cup in place. Then hang the tray back on it. Do this properly and the thing clings to your sink like a barnacle on a ship's hull. Very pleased with this purchase. Paid a bit more than cheaper options but it should last a long time. "Buy once, cry once."

It seems to be a well made product with a clever design. Unfortunately, it did not adhere to my quartz composite sink, so I had to return it.

Nice quality but mine will eventually fall after a month or so.

Love the suction, super strong hold and seems plenty sturdy so far. Looks nice enough, as far as kitchen sink organization goes, it's gotta be practical too, so "looks" isn't always the top consideration. Easy to use, helps organize and store: one sponge, a flat pan scraper tool, two brillo pads, and two wand/handle scrub brushes. We have quite a few OXO brand kitchen tools, it seems like many of their items are designed and built quite well.
