This sifter is huge. It works well and is fast. I've washed it in the dishwasher and it did not rust. I would recommend it. I first bought a cheap sifter from Wal-Mart that you have to squeeze the handle to get it to sift. It did not work well at all. It took forever.

I loved the stainless steel construction and the large capacity of this sifter. However, when the hand crank was turned, only 1 of the 4 blades made contact with the sifting screen, rendering the other 3 blades totally useless. Obviously all 4 blades were meant to make contact with the sifting screen, thus ensuring a quick and easy sifting job. There was no way to adjust the blades so that they worked as they were obviously supposed to. I returned my defective sifter to Amazon, with the disappointing result that I had to pay a restocking fee, even though the item was clearly defective. Now it appears that some other unsuspecting customer will be sent this sifter and have to deal with it all over again.

This thing is HUGE.. Like WAY bigger than I anticipated.. This could sift the bejesus out of like a pound of flour every 3 minutes.. Solid, Crank Shaft is a direct drive..:)

I ordered this sifter for my son who loves to cook. The sifter arrived with no nut holding the knob in place. We added the nut so the knob wouldn't fall off. The blades turn but do not touch the flour or other ingredients to be sifted.
I am returning it.
Not a good product at all.

This sifter is HUGE and I bought it to sift cakes mixes, however, it doesn't hardly sift at all. Doesn't put out the amount of mix that I thought it would for such a large device, and my arm was completely worn out by the time I was done, roughly 5-8 min later. Do not buy this sifter!!

I don't know if I got a defective sifter or not, but it doesn't sift at all. I can't believe that I paid $20 for something that doesn't even work. Now I'm back to my old 2-cup sifter, which makes for a very hard time when you need to sift three or four cups with your soda/powder and salt!

I don't recommend this product at all!

Not sure what kind of "stainless steel" this manufacturer uses, but it does rust. And like other reviewers have experienced, the screen doesn't contact the rotating wires, so sifting is pretty poor and slow. This is a real disappointing product marred by lack of quality control. Don't blame the factory - it's the brand that accepted this quality and ships it to customers. They could have easily refused these defective units and sent them back to the factory instead of to customers.

I was amazed at the size of it. I like that it can be washed too.

I was very disappointed with this sifter. When you turn the crank,it is not calibrated correctly so the sifting mechanism does not contact the screen to sift the flour out of the sifter. You have to shake it against your hand. It also has a shelf around the inside bottom of the sifter which catches flour. I have used my old Bromwell 5-cup sifter for 25 years, and thought it was time for a new one. Evidently, I was wrong. I would not recommend this model.

You can sift all night and nothing comes out of the bottom. The sifter arms do not rotate close enough to the screen to push the flour down. I end up just mixing dry ingredients with the rotation and dumping it out the top. Certainly not what I was hoping for. If I could just find my mothers old one!!
