AMOAMI-Dish Drying Mats for Kitchen Counter-Silicone Dish Drying Mat-Kitchen Dish Drying Pad Heat Resistant Mat-Kitchen Gadgets Kitchen Accessories Kitchen Small Appliances(12" x 16", BLACK)

I purchased two of the 16×24 inch "AMOAMI Dish Drying Mats for Kitchen Counter" for the top of my almost new washer and dryer which are prone to scratching and fingerprints. After searching the Amazon website for something in black and the correct size, these dish drying mats checked all the boxes! The mats arrived securely packaged in a cardboard box, were individually wrapped in plastic and, most importantly, were rolled instead of being folded. Another mat I had ordered several years ago came folded in fourths and the creases never totally came out! My new AMOAMI mats are thicker silicone, have a nice raised lip to catch spills, dry quickly, and they don't slide around on top of my washer and dryer! Finally, they have an attractive raised pattern which looks better than just a flat (no design) center. All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase and, even though they are not being used for their intended purpose, they work well to protect my washer/dryer. Plus, they look good doing it too!

I am so in love with this!! It lets dishes breathe and dry without getting my countertop all wet and gross! I have been using dish mats for years for items that get washed by hand. I am so unhappy with them because they get so wet and have no breathing space under water glasses, etc. I gave them all away and will never buy them again!! These mats are fantastic!!! My counter stays dry and the dishes dry so much easier!! Highly recommend to anyone.

I use it for drying my dishes. I like it but it stains easily and doesn't come out as easily.

Looks much nicer than a traditional drying rack and takes up a lot less space. It holds a decent amount of glasses and small utensils and keeps the counter looking neat.

I had high hopes fort this drying mat, and ordered two in different sizes. My initial experience with the one I opened and used was negative. I expected water to pool a little in the recessed areas, but was disappointed that the raised ridges were not raised enough to keep the dishes from sitting in water in the recessed areas. I planned to return the mat I had not opened yet and gave them a 1 star rating. However, I discovered that by laying a dish towel over the mat, then putting my wet dishes on the towel-covered mat, the dishes didn't sit in water and the towel actually dried fairly quickly. I had previously been using one of the polyester dish mats you can find in any store, and I was always annoyed that the mat got wet and stayed wet...for a long time. Glasses and dishes fogged up sitting on it to dry, and even placing a dish towel on top of the mat didn't help much because it stayed wet, too. So, I've changed my opinion of these silicone mats somewhat. They aren't perfect by any means, but they do not absorb moisture and they protect my countertops from staying wet, unlike the polyester mats. I changed my original one star rating to 3 stars. If the ridges had been a bit higher, I think they would have worked much better in keeping the edges of the dishes and glasses from sitting in pools of water. The dish towel on the mat helped a lot and made them usable for me.

I have owned this drying mat for 2.5 years. It still looks like brand new and I use it everyday. It is not absorbent; nor does it musty smelling. I do allow hand washed items to dry on it, items defrost on it and put large items from the oven rest on it. I either wash it by hand or put it in the dishwasher. The size is good, not too big or too small. I am not one who likes things out on my counter but I do leave this out as it looks neat and convenient.

Gives a cleaner look instead of a dish towel. You can leave it out on counter.Wash it the sink easily.

Love this it’s better than having that bulky rack on top of your countertop with this. It looks elegant and you could put your dishes on it to dry really nice product.

I originally ordered 3 of them for when I hand wash my mugs and glasses, but I have found many more uses for them. I will be ordering more to line my cabinets where I store my glassware. They are easy to store and have a little hole at the top so you can hang them up to dry. Great quality silicone and surprisingly easy to wash, even though there are so many little crevices. They also work great as a catch mat when making small resin art and jewelry, and the design would probably make a really cute mold. I haven't tried it yet, but I will when I order some more. One of my best purchases from Amazon!

Quality wise it is excellent and does the purpose as advertised. Only designing is complicated to keep it clean. You have to wash and wait for drying. As water droplets and whatever drop from kitchen bowls will stuck in the patterns. Next time I will prefer to buy straight lines, or no pattern at all.

I bought the larger of the two. Its very versatile, will handle a hot pot, use it as a dish pad, thaw frozen containers on it. Really happy with it, would recommend.

As described, holds water from dishes well

Looks tidy when left on the counter. Worked as expected
