This wire potato masher, like the rest of the products from the OXO Good Grips line, is a great value of superior quality, unsurpassed durability, and flawless performance. Its ergonomic design, hefty body, and big, pressure-absorbing, non-slip grip, complete with flexible fins to accommodate your fingers, are the reasons why you'll prefer this product over the more traditional models, as they will allow you comfortable, daily, wet or dry use while keeping you away from any stress-related injuries.
Its elegant, stylized shape fits seamlessly with the rest of the OXO Good Grips collection, and it also comes with an oversized hole at the tip of the handle for easy hanging, and a strong, stout double-wire neck guaranteed to be unbendable.
Overall, this masher is perfect to mash potatoes, apples, pumpkins, carrots and other such foods, especially handy if you have a baby in the house. Its easy-to-clean, simple construction and dishwasher-safe, hard-wearing materials make it an addition that will prove a dependable part of your cooking equipment for years. Furthermore, its stainless-steel metal parts will permanently keep your rust worries away.
After submitting this product to over two years of normal, everyday use, mine is still just like new.

I made the pefect lumpy potatoes with this. Sounds odd, but that's what I wanted. I have a ricer, but I wanted the mashed potatoes from my childhood. I went out and bought this specifically for the task. I have no regrets or complaints. The handle felt fine, better than what my mother used to have. I remember hers having more mashing surface, but that may be because I was young. This one seems compact, so it works fine for a small amount of potatoes in a smaller bowl (perfect for me.)

If you want ultra smooth, this isn't the product for you. Get the Oxo ricer or use a mixer.

Nothing fancy, just mashin' action. I would give it 5 stars if the handle was a bit more comfortable (just hard plastic as opposed to something more comfortable, but it's not like you use it that much) and if the design was closer to the honeycomb open-hole idea instead of the curvy wires, which leave more lumps in your mashed potatoes. But really, if you want perfectly lump-free mashed potatoes, you should be using a ricer, not a masher.

Great sturdy design!! The handle is well made, soft on the hands, good non-slip grip but yet durable. The heavy duty stainless steel designed wire mesh does every job perfect.

This masher is very good. It's very durable and simple to use. I use to use a spoon to mash potatoes and it hurt and took forever. With this, it takes me less than 3 minutes to mash it. The grip is fantastic and so is the stainless steel wires.

This really is the perfect masher - just like the one my mum had... I've tried every "new and improved" masher on the planet without success - until now. Works quickly to mash loads of spuds without undue effort or mess. Oxo has merely added a comfortable handle and weight to the tried and tested masher.

the only problem with this masher might be that it does too good a job. I haven't made mashed potatoes yet; I use it for our family's favorite butternut squash dish, in which cooked squash is mashed and mixed with onion and butter. A slightly chunky mash cooks up best. Using this masher, before I knew it I had a bowl of pureed squash. The handle is easy to hold, and the masher is wonderfully easy to clean after use. No crevices for food to get caught in.

Works fine but cheaper mashers just as good! Not sure what else to say about this product but it is sturdy, has a good grip and works really well...this will last a long time!

For my husbands and I's first Christmas I asked for a potato masher. He got this exact one and I can say that I've used it once a week for 10 years and its still perfect. The handle is just fine and it never rusted or anything. I love all the Oxo products, they really do last years and years. I've bought other companies products for the kitchen and they fall apart, is I specifically look for Oxo Good Grips whenever I go get a kitchen gadget because I know it will last for years. One tip, after you mash the potatoes rinse off the potato from the masher because once that potato dries it takes alot of work to remove.

My ancient wire potato masher finally gave up the ghost, after forty or more years of frequent use and passes through the dish washer. I am very happy with the OXO Good Grips Wire Potato Masher. It is far superior to the two plastic mashers I bought while trying to replace the old wire style. I recommend this product highly, and without reservation.
