Concept of product is great, however, disassembling to pour contents over salad is quite messy. Would not want to experience this mess on a good linen tablecloth. When adding items like minced garlic to dressing, the product is difficult to stir.

Excellent product for those who make their own salad dressings. No worrry about separation as one can mix before putting on their salad. Also less worry about spillage as this is stirred instead of shaken.

I like the way it mixes an Italian salad dressing - the only thing that was a little weird was the pouring - the lid has to be lifted out and balanced while you pour unless you take the whole mixer/lid piece out - but then where do you put the messy thing? I think the mixer part is okay, but it's not really a server you'd put on the table for guests to use.

If your wondering where the Chinese junk originated this product fits the bill. It consists of a cheap plastic bottle combined with a poor spinner. I could barely read the recipe lines and amounts on the side of the bottle. If that is not bad enough, you cannot shake the bottle as the side pour spout is always open. Do not buy this.

If you want to avoid all the junk processed dressings by making your own, this is a must have. Some people say that it's hard to clean; get a bottle brush anywhere. I picked one up at the local Bed, Bath & Beyond at a good price. I have no regrets, and rest easy that my health is in good hands!

it works very well and mixes well but is a bit hard to clean - need the right size brush

I purchased to replace another that had broken due to excessive use. I make my own dressings as they're healthier and need to have a stirrer such as this one. This particular one isn't as "user friendly" as my older one. It stirs well however, there isn't a way to pour the dressing unless you take the entire top off at which time, the oil and vinegar has separated. It's an okay stirrer and I will look for something a little easier to pour.

The concept of this product is good, but the design is not practical. I did not even use the product, but returned it after opening the box as the design flaws were immediately evident. While the recipes printed on the bottle are good, they are difficult to read and the markings are hard to make out for measurement purposes. The mixer part of the bottle does not reach all the way to the bottom; the gap is more than 1/2 of an inch. To serve the dressing after mixing would be too cumbersome -- you have to remove the entire top with the mixer attached to it, which would result in dripping or spillage (the seal is tight). And last but not least, it is made of cheap plastic, not glass. I do not recommend this purchase at all.

Mixer is very difficult to turn. Would not recommend, even though it is cheap. Container is plastic. Recommend going to your local grocery and getting a cruet in the salad dressing aisle instead.

It's so cool. It has little recipes on the side and basically eliminates most of the measuring. The only downfall is that you can't pour dressing out with the stirrer in place.
