I used this masher to mash strawberries for strawberry jam. It did the job perfectly.Works very goodI am a cook with shoulder issues and mashing potatoes has caused a lot of pain. I bought this masher to see if it would put less strain on my shoulder and it did! The only drawback is the length. I frequently cook for a crowd and the next time I make potatoes for more than 6 or 8 people I think I will have to divide the potatoes to keep from burning my knuckles. On the other hand it's nice and sturdy and a bit easier to clean than my previous masher.This is easy to hold and cleans quick!I wanted something for mashing potatoes and bananas. This was perfect. I’m not very strong and this one is easy to use.a good masherFácil al limpiar y resistenteThis implement spells doom for any stuck-up spuds you may encounter during your cooking forays. The force exerted directly through the handle means that even the toughest tubers are helpless before its mighty wrath. With this masher you are indeed able crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.The previous version of this masher, shorter, stockier, thicker metal and a better grip, was brilliant, last us over 3 years. This one, sadly, has last less than a month. It has too long a reach, the metal is thinner and softer so it flexes and bends but never can you get it back to it's optimum shape again. Loved the original version, this one is just a poor parody of it.Having had plenty of other OXO Good Grips products, I figured it would be a good move to replace our old masher that was falling apart.Stupid mistake! The edges of the metal are particularly sharp. The handle is not up to standard (comes apart). But worst of all - the whole thing bends after a single use of mashing potatoes! Appalling how badly made this is.I honestly have no idea how this is getting so many good reviews. Those people must either be fake or use it to mash pints of water.AVOID!I have had as arthritis since the age of 11. I cope with most things but mashing potatoes is one of the hardest domestic tasks I encounter on a weekly basis. Most mashers are either hard to hold or have a hanging loop which doesn't make it easy if your hand can't adapt. This masher would be easy for anyone to use. As long as push gently down, with one or two hands, you will be able to mash potatoes with ease. Brilliant, brilliant product.I was looking for a masher I could use despite having rheumatoid arthritis and peripheral neuropathy, and this one is perfect. Its nicely made with no sharp bits and it washes really well, but more than that it makes the exercise of mashing anything - potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, whatever you are wanting to squish, a much easier exercise than it had been before with my conventionally shaped/designed mashers. It takes a lot of the effort out of the wrist, and the orientation of the grip makes it much easier to work with, I am only wondering why it took me so long to realise I needed this gadget in my kitchen. Definitely recommended, and my husband - who does not have any disability - is just as happy as I am with it, we still have our old mashers but he always uses this one when it's his turn to do the veggies. Definitely recommended.After a few weeks and only the third, possibly fourth use, the product simply bent out of shape under the stress of mashing potatoes. It beggers belief that anybody can sell a one function product that is so obviously not up to said one function. The design is ridiculous, two long, flimsy, unsupported bits of metal. No support, no triangulation. Come on Oxo... my 8 year old could have told you it wouldn't work!
