4.0 out of 5 stars Super cute, a little fiddly November 27, 2011

By Daniel T. Egnor

This little hanging robot dude is super cute. If you serve someone tea with this, they _will_ smile, I promise. And once the tea has steeped enough, it's a cinch to take the little guy out and set him in his little tray. The arms adjust, so it can fit pretty much any cup or mug (even narrow or shallow ones), with the possible exception of tiny little mini teacups.

You load the guy with tea by popping him open -- there are a couple metal tabs which hold two halves shut. This is a slightly fiddly process, and can lead to a few stray tea leaves on the counter. Also, when closed, some tea leaves can escape through the cracks in the side, so if you're a purist about not getting any leaves in the tea you drink (and/or you tend to drink very finely ground tea) that could be a problem.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great concept poorly executed. December 27, 2011

By M. Collins

I love this little guy... as long as I'm not using him. He's cool, he infuses, BUT he gets tea all over my cup of tea. He's very loosely sealed, which lets a good portion of tea escape his bowels. I'll probably keep him around as a conversation piece, but as far as being functional, he's a failure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tea bot! November 27, 2011

By dimesinger

This awesome infuser was gift from my wife. I don't think she got it on Amazon, but it's the same product.
I love it, and all the people I've shown think it's great. His arms will extend to fit most cup sizes, and he seals the tea in very well. And Teabot (as I like to call it) is super easy to clean; some infusers make it really difficult to get out all of the leaves, but this one opens all the way up and it's no problem.
This infuser is fun, effective, and has a nice little presence in the kitchen when he's not in use. I definitely would recommend this product.
