Winco FC-SS Flatware Cylinder, Stainless Steel Medium

. Adcraft vs. Winco. And the winner is..? Bought the Adcraft product at $7.19. Liked it. Went back to buy more and the price was increased significantly to $8.55 (currently $10.97 w/free shipping). Double checked alternatives and found Winco at $6.19 (currently $9.31 Prime) (These price increases are obnoxious and make the products too expensive. Consider waiting for them to fluctuate down. When they do, we'll buy more of the less expensive of the two.) Liked Winco's better price, but was not sure of the quality. Bought both (see side-by-side pictures, Adcraft on left & bottom). These are both quality, commercial grade products and very similar in design. Differences are detailed below. WINCO ---------- Ever so slightly shorter and more tapered. Holes are bigger and spaced better, both on the sides and the bottom. Total holes on the side = 60, bottom = 21. Better finish, no burrs on the inside of the holes. Weight = 4.2 ounces Inside diameter at rim = 3.9" Inside depth at rim = 5.0" Outside height at rim = 5.2" Adcraft ---------- Total holes on the side = 72, bottom = 21. Weight = 5.1 ounces Overall good finish, but small visible burrs on the top side of the holes inside the cylinder. Inside diameter at rim = 3.9" Inside depth at rim = 5.1" Outside height at rim = 5.4" Both products are performing as expected and we are finding them useful for washing, drying and storing flatware and small-mid-sized utensils (large, heavy utensils will knock them over, say large, commercial size stainless spoons). We'll update this review if the products perform materially differently over time. For now, though, we'd feel good recommending both products and suggest you buy on price and speed of delivery as these two products are pretty comparable. If you found this review helpful, please vote for it to keep it available to others on the front page. Thanks. 1/14/15 UPDATE: ================= Both products are still working well and we hardly notice the difference between Adcraft and Winco in use. However a question by Ian Lin highlights a difference which may be important to some buyers. QUESTION: by Ian Lin: How big are the holes at the bottom? Will chopsticks fall through? ANSWER: We've reviewed both the Winco cylinders and the Adcraft CYL-SS Stainless Steel Silverware Cylinder. Both are good products, but the holes are significantly bigger on the Winco product and we'd be concerned about chopsticks slipping through, or more likely, getting stuck. The holes on the Adcraft cylinders are much smaller and should work well with chopsticks so that's what we'd recommend even though Adcraft is more expensive at the moment. Hope that helps. Good luck. .

This is a commercial kitchen grade silverware holder/drainer, most often coupled with a stabilizing rack/base which several of these cups mount into. I purchased this single cup alone to sit next to our home kitchen sink to drain and hold our sponge and brush implements for dish washing in a way that would allow them to drain and air out. This cup works perfectly for that purpose except that it was top heavy without a rack to stabilize it, so I placed a perfectly sized/shaped round river rock in the bottom and now it stands up perfectly and all our tools dry quickly and efficiently and I'll never have to buy another nor will the next 7 generations of my family ;0)

Works out great

Exactly what we needed to corral dirty silverware on the counter. Perfect!

I wanted to be able to put silverware verticle to drain when handwashing dishes. This allows me to spray utensils with very hot c water for extra cleanliness after washing and them drain without leaving water spots on spoon, knives, etc. My only complaint I have to put the handle in first leaving eating part of silverware facing up. So to grab them I'm touching that. But putting the eating part down first my holder will tip over from the weight. That is why I marked sturdiness down. It is good quality...like the silverware holders in buffet restaurants. I like that there are short ridges on the bottom to slightly elevate it to allow for draining

Quality good. It's sturdy and easy to clean. Economical . I just wish I had chosen a square container of the same quality. The round one topples over easily

Rigid and smooth but the first one came with the top all scratched up as if it had been drug across a cement floor. So much so, it would cut your hand up. Amazon replaced it and the new one is just as it should be. Not sure who's fault it was (maker, seller or shipper, but not anything to take stars away for, considering the bad one was replaced easily.

I bought this "cylinder with holes" for an unusual reason: to keep my cat away from my toothbrush. I have my toothbrush and toothpaste in a glass, and then I put the cylinder over them all (upside down, of course.) The cylinder keeps my cat from being able to touch my toothbrush, and the holes in the cylinder allow air to circulate around the toothbrush, keeping it from getting mold and mildew (hopefully!)

Fue una excelente compra. Tiene ya varios meses y conserva sus características desde el inicio. Sólo hay que lavarlo como cualquier otro traste para que el jabón o el agua (si es dura) no se peguen. Muy buena compra y se ve bonito para escurrir cubiertos.

Arrived early as usual! Keep up the good work! Appreciated! Item is nice and shiny and holds more utensils than I thought it would! Ordered another one!! Thanks again for great product!

Llevo varios meses en uso y no se oxida

Great product good quality and service.

This is okay and gets the job done. It’s just not the most sturdy and can fall over easily. It holds a decent amount of things in it.
