I have it and it’s fantastic. Makes mashing so much easier – don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

I have to be honest… love the look and feel of the product.
I think the designers did a great job there.
They just fell a bit short on the spring area, too unresolved and way too exposed. It’s a potential mouse trap.

why do you need the spring? if it was just the handle and the white part it would do the same thing just as well. this is so pointless my brain is tieing itself in knots trying to figure out why you would decide you needed the spring.
Also its harder to clean as the more details you have, the more places there is for the potato to get stuck. this isn’t smart at all. I wish people would stop being so shortsighted

To me it is just trying to re-invent the wheel. but adding more stuff on it so that people might think it is “better”, looks “better”, feels “better”. just another gimmick that is going to brake/be a pain in the neck to clean, and then, be replaced in the drawer by the good old traditional masher. Another “get only one for the price of two” Conclusion: , are we going to stop producing useless stuff that costs the planet?

I agree completely with Bodkin. It turns my stomach that designers find it acceptable to create spring-loaded potato mashers. It’s shameful and debasing to the entire profession.
