Joseph Joseph Wash & Drain Kitchen Washing Up Bowl with Handles and Draining Plug, 9 Litres, White/Green

I bought one of these Joseph Joseph bowls back in 2015 with money given to me for my birthday. It's not cheap, but I loved the look of it so much I decided to treat myself. It lasted me through10 years of everyday use and had only just started looking a little tired. I had no hesitation in getting a new one in the Amazon sale a couple of months ago, and I'm so glad I did because the new one is so much smoother and stain resistant. I had forgotten what a pleasure it is to use.The bowl is very elegant, but also very practical. The centre piece turns to lock it so you can put it somewhere and fill it with water without worrying about leaking. Draining it is easy and quick. I have found that it saves water and now I'd find it hard not to have it, I'm so used to it. The handles mean it's easy to move around comfortably.It has a coating that protects it very efficiently from potential stains. It's so easy to rinse off gravy residue or sauce from the bottom. It just glides off. So it stays hygienic and elegant and odour free. No need to use harsh chemicals to clean it. In fact, it is recommended not to use bleach as it will damage this silky coating. The bowl fits my sink really well and gives a lot of space to wash up. It's particularly good for your special china and glass, but because it rinses so well it's also great for rinsing vegetables and fruits.Someone said that it is spoiled by stickers that are very difficult to get off. I was able to get the stickers off really easily by slowly peeling them away, as I had done with my first one.I would highly recommend this fabulous washing-up bowl. I love it. My old one now has a new job because I couldn't bring myself to part with it. I now use it when I'm crafting. Absolutely worth every penny.

The box was over the top, it could of easily came in a large brown bag. Delivered quickly. It's very strong, sturdy plastic. The green plug is large and also sturdy. Fits in the sink. Fills with water and no leaks. The plug is easy to locate, a twist and the comes water disperse quickly. A great design and the plug also catches bits of food which is useful. The elderly relative loves it as it's easy to use. Good for those with dexterity issues and it means no lifting and trying to pour heavy water from a washing up bowl. It also has feet so it's not sitting low in the sink which means less bending over the sink. A definite recommendation

So pleased with this washing up bowl; I read numerous reviews pre-purchase and, like other satisfied reviewers, I must sing this innovative bowl's praises!The dimensions perfectly fit my modern shallow SS sink which fits flush to the worktop; by that I mean that the square shape accommodates a good size dinner plate without resting at an angle as with my previous rectangular bowls. Being square it allows space to tip away water/drain vegetable pans into the sink without having to remove the bowl - although I have a 1.5 sink facility it doesn't always suit me to use the .5 part to empty messy pan/teapot residue. It stands taller than the surrounding sink & drainer surface - which suits me, as I now have enough depth of water to reduce the previous problem I had with regular spillages onto the surrounding worktop.The bowl surface is strong and smooth and wipes clean like a dream - I purchased the white with lime green drain. Having a husband who loves cooking curries and pasta but then leaves the pans/dishes in the washing up water for me to eventually deal with (Grrr!) I was constantly facing a greasy 'orange' scum line around bowls. What a joy to be able to quickly open the drain, fasten and refill with clean soapy water and not to have to get out a cream cleaner to clean the bowl.It's not a cheap item to purchase - although I was delighted with Amazon's really competitive price (being £8 cheaper than a well-known high street department store) - but it's well worth paying for the quality and good design of this product.

This is a well designed product which seems such an obvious idea but I must confess I haven't seen another kitchen bowl with the 'built-in' drainage plug idea. It's also a very sensible size for most kitchen sink operations such as washing up... being 'squarish' in proportions and not too shallow it means that, when washing dinner plates etc., the bowl is large enough to accommodate the items conveniently and cleanly.The bowl has four small 'legs' formed from the plastic construction and these allow a little gap beneath the bowl when it's sitting in the sink. Therefore when you utilise the cleverly designed "bowl-plug" there's sufficient room for draining into the main part of the kitchen sink. I also like the simple twist action which basically opens the bowl's plug seal for draining (you can completely lift out the plug should you require).So far the item has been used for several weeks and it has been easy to keep clean, with no apparent staining of the bowl's surfaces as yet. This was a concern that I had but I am pleased with the performance after many days of usage.Also slightly unusual for a kitchen sink bowl are the two handles — these allow for easy lifting of the bowl, even with wet hands. This small feature should be more commonplace.Overall a very sensible and practical household item which I am very pleased I purchased.

Love it. Excellent washing up bowl for use in my stainless steel sink
