This is a very nice tool. It's big and strong, which is what you should expect from the fact that it holds almost 3 cups -- enough for a pretty good sized potato. Your little kid sister might have trouble using it, but you are trying to extrude a potato through a bunch of little holes, so you should expect there to be some force involved. Still, it's not actually all that much, because you get good leverage with the well-designed handles.

It's a breeze to clean, because of the way it comes apart. It fits nicely in the upper rack of my dishwasher.

I made gnocchi with it tonight, and it worked perfectly.

All in all, I highly recommend it.

Great Ricer. Very easy to use and plenty of room for a large amount of potatoes. A time saver. You can get through a large amount of potatoes in a short time. I also like that you pull a pin to take it apart to wash in dishwasher and it is stainless so no rust. Great product.

The potato ricer is nice and strong. My husband likes it for raw shredded potatoes so he can squeeze the juice out of the potatoes. We bought a cheaper one first but it did not last. He wishes we would have bought this one first as it would have saved us money in the long run.

durable and well made. Use it for squeezing liquids out of various concoctions as well as for mashing potatoes and other root vegetable.

We like to make a lot of infused butters (rosemary, dill, thyme, etc.) and after years of trying a number of strainer combinations we decided to try a potato ricer. Amazon was running a deal on Norpro kitchen items, so we chose this commercial one.

This ricer is no joke. It is made from quality stainless steel and is built to last. We have put it through a lot and it is still just like new. I even washed it in the dishwasher with no issues. The bucket is much larger on this ricer than regular models and we are very glad we chose the commercial size. The larger surface area makes it easier to use, even on smaller jobs. We highly recommend this one for home or commercial use.

Caution - it is rather large, and requires a good bit of space for storage. It will eat up 1/3 of a kitchen drawer.

I've been in the market for a potato ricer for quite a while and finally settled on this very large model. It's solidly built and the cup holds a large volume (roughly a cup and a half). Over Thanksgiving, I mashed about 10 pounds of potatoes in less than twenty minutes.

Since then, I've used it several more times (the baby LOVES mashed potatoes now), and I find that the potatoes always come out great (light and fluffy with a very smooth, lump free texture) as long as I boil them very thoroughly.

On the con side, clean-up is slightly more annoying than I'd hoped because the metal surface is a little rough, and you do really have to take the ricer apart to get it clean. It's not difficult, but there is more hassle involved than throwing it into the dishwasher. It is worse if you don't peel the potatoes before you rice them. At this point, I usually do peel first, both because it makes clean-up faster, and because bits of skin come through the holes in the ricer and get into the potatoes. One other (tiny) quibble: potatoes do squish out the back and sides make operating the ricer a little messy.

I've also found that for smaller quantities of potatoes (less than 2 pounds), it is probably easier just to use my big Oxo garlic press. I have to chop the potatoes into significantly smaller pieces, but it gets the job done and is easier to clean.

Still, in all, I am pretty happy with this product. It makes really excellent potatoes in medium and large quantities without too much hassle.

There is nothing bad to say about this machine! It makes the BEST mashed potatoes ever! It is so easy to use. The only bad thing is the clean up but the benefits outway this.

I would rather use this than an electic beater to make mashed poatoes. There is NEVER any LUMPS in my potatoes and when the power goes out I don't have to worry!! My daughter-in-law has one that is over 40 years old that was passed down to her from the old country.

This ricer works good for the price.
I like lumpless fluffy mashed potatos & this unit really helps to make that happen,
but I only gave it a 4 star rating because it doesn't process all the product placed in it in one ricing.
Some of the product squeezes between the bucket & the press & doesn't make it through the ricer
which requires it being re-fed, but that's not a deal breaker.

This is well made and exactly what I was looking for. I recommend this product. Makes the best creamy potatoes.
