Joseph JosephHelix Potato Ricer Masher Ergonomic Twist-Action Hand Manual Stainless Steel For Mashed Potato, Vegetable Purees, Stainless Steel, White

Easy to use, dishwasher safe, and incredibly good at what they need to do. Potato skins get stuck, but nothing some water can’t fix. would recommend if traditional mashing is either not possible or just annoying!

I do find this easier to use than the standard clamp-style garlic press. I typically have to scrape and re-press a second time but the pressed garlic is of a uniform consistency. It is built well and easy to clean.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought this to replace a third or fourth iteration of potato mashers; and its the best I have used. Works easily and produces very good mashed potatoes. I have replaced other good ones (and one bad one that took too much strength), andlike this one the best.

Nice ricer. Overall this ricer is nice but its not great. It easy to use but I didn't find any easier or harder than the other ricers I tried. I've tried the ones with the round "cup" and exchangeable discs and the triangular looking ones. This one is way easier to use compared to the round/"cup" ones, but no easier than the triangular ones I've tried. What I didn't like about it is the capacity, which was smaller than the triangular ones I tried and the holes you squeeze stuff through as they were at least double the size of the triangular ones. The fact that the top can come off/away from the bottom is good and bad. Good in that it makes cleaning easier and bad because you have two pieces to track.

Hats off to the designers and engineers, this a great product! No internal moving parts, easy to take apart, relatively easy to clean.Other garlic presses get all the tougher bits jammed into the press holes, making it impossible to clean---not this one. A quick rinse and a swish of the finger inside and the bits all come out.Another review mentioned that the handles were flimsy and broke. I would say that person had some really dense garlic, or they have overpowered grip strength! If you're nervous about that, just don't overpack it or squeeze it from the absolute end and you'll be fine.My only complaint is that some of the garlic will wind up unpressed, and you have to fish it out and press it a second time. Not a big deal for me,but something to be aware of.All in all, highly recommended.

Listen to me. You will never get easier, faster, better results mashing potatoes with any other device! This is truly an investment in your body, time, and cooking! The quality is phenomenal—the fitment is perfect with no sticking or straining! It goes in the dishwasher too! It is lightweight with a perfect plastic texture that is neither slippery nor sticky. It’s shameful how long I knew this existed before actually purchasing!

This was a whole lot bigger than I had initially expected it to be. I don’t think it would be too much of a bad thing, as it seems to be a solid device that runs quite smooth. The color is easy in the eyes. I can do potatoes or mash cauliflower or garlic after garlic confit (the cooked garlic, itself). I’ve kept my eye on this for years. I am so happy I now have it! This will certainly be put into use.

This product failed within a month of purchase, Joseph Joseph hasn't responded to the warranty claim and it's outside of the window to return it to Amazon. I really wanted to like this since it's a cool design, but it's just not functional, durable, or efficient, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.MAJOR DRAWBACK -- MATERIAL QUALITY / DURABILITY:The juicer cup is the ONLY part that is metal on this, so the plastic it's VERY prone to warping/chipping/breaking under standard use pressure. There's only two little 1/4 inch plastic nubs that are the single point of failure as you follow the track rotating and squeezing the juicer, and they warp very easily, making compressing the juice out difficult because it falls off the track and becomes a piece of junk.DRAWBACK -- SIZE:It's oddly very large to fit in the drawer, but even with it's huge girth, you have to cut up your fruit into little pieces (1/4 lime segments or 1/8 lemons) to fit in the metal compression cup.DRAWBACK -- AMOUNT OF JUICE:I was also really surprised that it actually doesn't get that much juice out of the fruit!!! I re-squeeze every piece with my hand after putting something through the Helix and got about 30% more juice out of it. Also, if you have to cut your fruit into tiny segments 1/4 segments to fit in the juicer cup why bother using this device? Just squeeze the juice out with your fingers -- you'll get more out of it and waste less time and not have to clean another utensil.MAJOR DRAWBACK -- POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WARRANTY SUPPORT:Amazon says Joseph Joseph has a warranty on their products (mine failed after a month of use, after only squeezing about 6 limes in it), and I followed the Amazon recommended process, but Joseph Joseph hasn't responded to multiple messages requesting Warranty Support.THE FINAL VERDICT:I really wanted to like this, but it's not strong enough/functional/high quality enough materials to do the job. If this was all metal, it might work. But metal on plastic under torsional pressure doesn't work, and you don't even get that much juice out of it! So it's a pretty device, but not functional and it takes up a lot of drawer space for being so awkwardly large and not serving it's single-purpose well.
