I would highly advise against the Dish Doctor. I have the white and blue one and it is impossible to keep clean unless you have a dishwasher (which somewhat defeats the purpose). The holes get moldy and require weekly scrubbing to keep clean.

In addition, over time the colored knobs on the ends of the spikes fall off. I emailed the Marc Newson design co a month or so ago to ask them if there was a way to replace the knobs or recycle the whole thing, but no reply.

I'm not sure why this item keeps getting recommended by AT and other design roundups. If something looks cool but isn't practical or sustainable, it's not well designed.
