 Smooth potatoes, and very easy to use!May 13, 2008
By A. Jennings
I purchased my ricer a little over a month and have used it several times. With each use, I like this ricer more and more. Though it is plastic, this ricer is very sturdy and is designed very well. The handles are comfortable and I find the pot grip to be useful in keeping the ricer from falling into the pot. I tend to fill the hopper as much as I can, but I haven't had any problem squeezing the potatoes through. Not much force is needed!
The ricing disks are easy to change and clean: just squeeze the two tabs on the insert to remove it from the hopper, change the disk and finally replace the insert.

Replaced my stand mixer for potatoesJul 09, 2008
By Patrick E. Campbell
This ricer is terrific. I read about it in the America's Test Kitchen cookbook and also their web page. Before I bought the ricer, I used my stand mixer and had to whip the potatoes pretty aggressively to make sure there were only a few lumps. My mashed potatoes were popular with guests but I think it was the huge amount of butter and half-and-half that I use. I could not believe the improvement when I started using the ricer. The potatoes are silky smooth and do not have a trace of air from over mixing. I like to clean most things by hand although the ricer is dishwasher friendly. The ricer disassembles nicely for cleaning and goes back together in a snap (literally). It also has two disks for different jobs. I like this device so much that I plan to buy another one and give it to my daughter-in-law for her upcoming baby shower (along with other stuff of course - this ricer only costs 12 bucks)! The ricer can do double duty by pureeing or mashing food for the baby as well as making first class mashed potatoes. You can't go wrong with this ricer.

Does what it promises to do.Jul 09, 2009
By C. Carlson
I bought this after seeing it on America's Test Kitchen. It got rave reviews on the show, and it gets rave reviews in my kitchen. Our potatoes are now light and fluffy - after using the ricer, I can "mash" them by stirring them with a fork! Good stuff.

 Disgusting Danger Lurking Inside the RicerJun 27, 2011
By TL
I've had this ricer for over a year and I love making mashed potatoes with it. It is very easy to use (just make sure your potatoes are cooked enough and soft otherwise you'll have a hard time) and I love the fact that I can place the ricer over a large bowl/pot and push the potatoes through. However, I just discovered a disgusting thing that happens with this ricer that should make you think twice about purchasing this particular model unless the manufacturer comes up with a design adjustment to address the issue. I knew I wouldn't do the dishes right away last week so I left my ricer in water. The problem is that water seeped through the base and you can't get all of the water out. I've been flipping it around and shaking water out every day and it's impossible to remove all of the water. Today, the water had a disgusting odor to it since water has been trapped in the ricer for a week. The thought of mold spores and mildewy water getting into my mashed potatoes is disgusting and potentially dangerous depending on what type of mold is growing in there. I'm thinking about drilling in some holes to get the water out and then soaking the ricer in a bleach bath. If only there was an opening at the end of the base handle to let out water. I'm now looking at the $40 ricer model, which costs almost as much as my food mill which also makes good mashed potatoes (but I hardly ever use because it's tucked away deep inside my cupboard because it's hard to store).
Update 07/10/11: I successfully drilled several holes into the handle of this ricer using a Dremel. I soaked the whole unit in a bleach bath and now due to my new holes, the water inside the unit was able to drain out. I've been shaking the ricer around and I don't hear anymore water sloshing around inside. No more disgusting water trapped inside my ricer and now I don't have to shell out extra money for the $40 model. This is an excellent model for ricing potatoes minus the design flaw that traps water inside. Too bad the manufacturer didn't have the foresight to address this issue. If the manufacturer had drainage holes in this ricer, this item would definitely rate 5 stars.

 The only way to make mashed potatoesDec 28, 2009
By Paul J. Langlois
For the record, I don't like mashed potatoes - even though I wish I did. Since I am often left cooking for my friends and family, I had to learn how to make mashed potatoes that were crowd pleasers.
This tool is a tremendous help in making uniform, lump free mashed potatoes. I always think they taste like wallpaper paste, but my entire family went bonkers for the batch I made for Xmas dinner. Everyone had seconds. It was a nice feeling.
Paired this with Cook's Illustrated's master recipe for mashed potatoes, and was very happy with the results.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars is two-fold:
1) The handle is slippery when wet. This could be easily remedied by adding rubbery grips like Oxo products have.
2) (Updated) This machine is not as effortless to use as some people make is sound. At 6'4" and 260lbs, I started to get pretty tired after ricing about 4lbs of potatoes.
