Cisily Sponge Holder for Kitchen Sink, Sink Caddy Organizer with High Brush Holder, Kitchen Countertop Organizers and Storage Essentials, Rustproof 304 Stainless Steel (Black, 9.25″)
✅ PROS
- Drain spout actually keeps the counter dry — sponges and brushes drip straight into the sink instead of pooling on the counter
- Sturdy 304 stainless steel build with a clean look; stays put on the sink ledge without slipping or shifting
- Takes up almost no space but neatly holds sponge, scrub brush, and soap — real declutter win for small kitchens
❌ CONS
- Drainage tray bottom is slightly angled wrong — water doesn't always funnel to the spout hole, can leave a small puddle behind
- Brush holder is tall but narrow — bulkier scrub brushes may not fit comfortably
The Verdict
The Verdict
The Cisily Sponge Holder solves a specific problem: that perpetually wet, gunky area next to your sink where sponges sit in a half-inch of standing water. At $13.99, it’s a low-risk fix that, for most people, works exactly as advertised.
What it does well
The core idea is simple — mount a stainless steel caddy on your sink edge, let water drain through a built-in spout back into the sink. And that’s where the Cisily shines. Multiple reviewers called out how their sink area actually dries out now. No more picking up a sponge that’s been marinating in its own filth. One five-star reviewer put it plainly: “Helps everything dry faster instead of sitting in water.”
Assembly is genuinely easy — slide the pieces together, mount it on the sink ledge, and you’re done. Owners consistently mention it feels sturdy once in place, with the rubberized grip holding firm even with heavy wet sponges loaded. The 304 stainless steel construction is a nice touch at this price point, and owners confirm it hasn’t rusted or shown signs of corrosion.
The compact footprint is another win. At 9.25 inches wide, it doesn’t eat into usable sink space or get in the way of washing dishes. It’s designed to sit on the rim or the edge of the sink, keeping the counter surface completely clear.
Where it stumbles
The most consistent design complaint: the drainage tray. That angled bottom that’s supposed to channel water toward the spout? It doesn’t quite get the angle right. Water tends to collect in the tray instead of running cleanly to the drain hole. It’s not a dealbreaker — you can just tilt the caddy or leave the sponge to air-dry anyway — but it undermines the whole “drains automatically” pitch.
A handful of owners also noted the brush holder is on the narrow side. Standard dish brushes fit fine, but anything with a wider handle or a thickset scrub brush needs to be wedged in. If you use bulky cleaning tools, this might not hold everything you want.
The bottom line
The Cisily Sponge Holder is a simple, effective organizer at a fair price. The drainage angle could be better, and the brush slot could be wider, but neither flaw stops the product from doing its main job: keeping sponges and brushes dry and the counter clean.
With over 12,000 reviews and a solid 4.5-star average, the consensus is clear — this is one of those cheap kitchen upgrades that actually makes a difference. Worth buying if you’re tired of wet sponges and cluttered sink counters.
