This item is well made, and actually rather attractive. It looks better in real-life than in the picture. The handles are a nice silicon, and the spring loaded mechanism is rather clever.

I am not, however, convinced that the design is perfect. It's a bit peculiar to load with tea while holding it open with the other hand.

I found the Norpro Grip-EZ tea infuser difficult to use. The black material covering the handles is not firmly attached. It rolls around the handles as you attempt to grip them making them hard to hold on to as you load and unload the mesh basket. I will not purchase this product again.

I purchased this because even with tea in a BAG, I hate having to hold it down with a spoon to prevent it from floating. I now put my tea bag inside the infuser and it is always underwater when brewing. The downside is that for some reason, even with the infuser, I can still get bits of tea "dust" and such in my cup, which I really thought this might eliminate. But I am not really a tea guru, just a fan of a daily cup. I drink tea from the Republic of Tea, whose tea bags contain no strings or staples and are completely round and flat.

I do put this in the dishwasher and have had no issues. I was unsure if it was dishwasher safe but it comes out clean and has no melting or warping issues. Easy to use.
