At first I loved this strainer, but after just a few uses in a one month time frame, the metal mesh is rusting. I take good care of my kitchen tools, so I was obviously shocked to see rust. I have other no-name brand strainers that I've been using for years and they are perfectly fine. Very disappointing. see less

This product fails. It works as a strainer provided you don't whip it too much. You know, when you're trying to get do something well-drained and you whip it up and down over a sink. The downward pressure is too much for the handle, and it snaps in two. If you want a strainer where you gently agitate it or leave it still, this will work, but beyond that, it's a waste of money. You're better off getting one with a full metal handle. see less

There have been nothing but good reviews for this product for years. Rubber gaskets wear out no matter how good/new the product is. Whenever buying a product like this, keep in mind that it is a repeatative use product and that gasket can and should be replaced each year. Always check prior to starting your new canning season and order, form many suppliers on line, a couple extra gaskets to have on hand. [...] see less

Over the last 2 growing seasons, it's worked very well. I've made 15 gallons of grape juice. This year it leaks the juice out the handle crank. We were told that the plastic ring wears out, and we'd have to buy another. A disappointment when you want to get the job done when your counters are full of fruit and you can't run down to Target for replacement parts. see less

I'm convinced it's actually sentient and rebellious. Problem one - if you push it down because you want it to stop the drain, it takes several tries to place it securely, then it quickly dislodges and drains all the water. Problem two - if you don't want it to stop the drain, it will stop the drain. It knows. It likes frustrating you. Problem three - the outer rim sits higher than the rim of your drain, so there is a constant puddle around it. Problem four - [$]. For a drain stopper. I wish I read the reviews here before I bought it. see less

I have bought several different sink stoppers, none of which work well. When I saw the OXO brand stopper, I was encouraged, because other OXO items I have purchased have been of good quality. However, this stopper does not work at all. The stopper does not snugly fit into the drain, but it does hold water when the sink is filled. However, as soon as dishes are placed in the sink, the upper ring, which sits above the drain, is dislodged, causing the stopper to move and the water drains. I do like the flexible rubber strainer, however. see less

Please do not buy this product if you intend to use it to hold water in your sink. It does a fine job at straining all of the debris in my sink, but it cannot hold water. I was very excited to get this, but was severely disappointed. When I fill up my sink the water stays until I bump the stopper with a dish. Do not buy this to use as a drain stopper!!! Buy the cheaper strainer only option. see less

This strainer was purchased to rinse quinoa prior to cooking. It is the first strainer we have found that is small enough to hold the tiny quinoa yet allows water to flow through. Great item! see less
