Sink Magic Dish-washing Device Review

You can watch my full video review on YouTube!

Not having a dishwasher has become a part of life for my family. We had one before we moved into this house and it took a while to adapt. I am forever soaking dishes and then forgetting about them or having to run out so that by the time I go back to the sink I have a sink full of ice cold greasy water. And, then I need to put my hands in it to unplug the sink, drain the water and refill it all over again. So, when I had the opportunity to receive a free Sink Magic Portable Water Diverter for review purposes, I jumped on it!

When I received the Sink Magic I noticed two small O-Rings in the box. I wasn’t sure if I needed to add them to the Sink Magic so I emailed and quickly received a response that these are spares for “many years from now” when the installed ones need to be replaced. Cool! Putting the Sink Magic together is a breeze. I actually had my 11 year old daughter do it! She didn’t have any trouble at all! Best line of the video and highlight of the entire review:

Me: “Kendra, do you like washing dishes?” Kendra: “I do now because we have the SinkMagic! Me: “That IS Magic!” Also, although it didn’t make the video, I asked Kendra why she was wearing gloves. She said, “Because it says to on the box.” The woman on the product box IS wearing gloves. LOL! She takes things VERY literal!!

Here are my takeaways:

• Allows you to soak your dishes then come back and refresh the water just by adding hot water
• Saves water by allowing you to rinse with water right over the sink that you are washing dishes in (no stream straight down the drain)
• Eliminates overflows from accidentally leaving the water running to fill up a plugged sink then running off distracted
• Purchase of this product supports small business!

Downsides:

• The directions on the box could be improved or written on an insert
• Difficult to catch food bits without a garbage disposal installed when draining sink. (Will check to see if I can use my drain basket with this. That would help)
• Regular retail price is around $39.95. I wouldn’t pay this much. However, its available on the site now for $29.95 (better, though I would probably prefer to see this at the $20 price point but I’m FRUGAL!)

Overall, I’m quite pleased with this product and will continue to use it in place of my regular sink drain. I certainly have been known to forget I’m filling a sink when I’m trying to multitask. Eliminating the overflow issues is enough of a reason to make this product truly worth it to me! In the video, you will see the Sink Magic pop out of the drain, it was because it was a little too soapy. I haven’t had any trouble with leaking since!
