I love this sink, yes, it doesn't drain as well as would be expected, but, I have no issues with wiping it down to remove the remaining water and yes my counters are level. The drain rack is an awesome feature as not all items can be put in the dishwasher.  Water from the faucet no longer splashes out of the sink as the depth is wonderful feature. AND every item I have fits nicely in this sink with room to spare.  Highly recommend!
