I do a lot of baking; a lot of different types of baking and therefore need good equipment that is not going to break my piggy bank. I have owned several dough blenders (still have them in the baking section of my kitchen) but found this Oxo brand to be the best of the litter. It fits my hand perfectly and for those of you who do a lot of work with these utensils know, this is very important. Nothing like a good hand cramp to set your day off just right. I suspect that this company has put in quite a lot of research as to the workings of the human hand and they pretty well have it nailed with this product.
The blades of this one (five) are quite stout and do not bend and flex as most do. I hate flimsy utensils, so this one was a real pleasure when I started using it. As to the sturdiness, this one if far superior to the Wilton, Pampered Chief or Anco...there is just no comparison. Trust me, I have used them all.
There are some considerations though. As pointed out by one reviewer, this mixer is not compatible with smaller bowls. I use rather large and heavy mixing bowls so do not have that problem myself, but I can see were some might have. Secondly, cleaning by hand is a chore. I have found the best way to clean this thing up is to soak it for a bit and then simply throw it in the dishwasher. I usually like to hand wash all my equipment, but in this case I go for the washer. The other way I have used is the simple use of a longer bristled kitchen brush.
As an added tip, this is a good tool to make thin butter patties with and to slice eggs for salads..a very nice even cut.
If you do a large amount of "scratch" baking, then this one is going to make life a lot easier for you.

This product works exactly as advertised. After using knives/forks to cut in butter, I finally got frustrated and bought this -- what a difference. It cuts my work time in half and does a much better job than how I used to do it. Highly recommended!

Good product for a basic pastry cutter.Blades are fairly stiff and distort very little with use.Grip is very comfortable for my small hands and grips well.Not large so if you do large batches you will get a workout.Why are blades always so not sharp on these cutters? All together a solid performing tool.

This dough blender works really well with my all-butter crusts -- where my wire blender will bend away from the cold butter, the blades on this one will cut right through. As someone who makes all of her pastry by hand still, I was glad to add this blender to my gadget drawer.

Great grip, very sturdy blades... I don't think this product could have been made any better! I actually bought it for mashing beans and other soft foods when I cook, and this product has worked perfectly every time. 5 stars!

I've made three double pie doughs with this item so far. It's very sturdy and is easy to clean. I can't really compare it to the more whisk-like model, since I haven't used one of those before. Bottom line is that this dough blender does its job well.

This pastry blender looked great when I got it -- sturdy and beautiful. Just think of my dismay when the very first time I used it the handle broke! Not broken in a way you can pop back together, but broken plastic the likes of which no glue could stick together. What a disappointment! I will never order from OXO again.

I'VE OWNED ONE OF THESE FOR YEARS AND AM BUYING THIS ONE AS A GIFT FOR A NEWLY ENGAGED FRIEND. IT'S STURDY AND HANDY. I ONLY BOUGHT MINE AFTER TRYING SEVERAL OTHER BRANDS, AND IT'S THE BEST I'VE EVER USED.

Nice pastry cutter except for the fact that it arrived all bent up. For $10 it is not worth the trouble of packaging it, taking it to the UPS store, waiting for another one to... Read more

works pretty well
This works nicely, the grip is excellent, especially since you have to work the dough in with your muscles. Read more

Does the job it was designed to do
Nice thick handle to make gripping and use very easy. You really can't appreciate how efficient this tool is unless you've been without one. A nice addition to my kitchen tools.

Well built, good price.
Our previous one had the flexible wires and ultimately broke where they entered the housing. This one has no wires to speak of but is instead machined from one contiguous piece of... Read more

Dough Blender
This dough blender has a nice large grip. It's not to light weight, not too heavy. It has a good feel when cutting in dough.

Larger handle makes this easy to use
Most dough blenders I have had have a handle that is too narrow. This handle is both wider and fatter for a better grip.

OXO good grips dough blender
This blender has taken most of the work out of making homemade biscuits.
It holds up well to the hard mixing, and is well made for the task.

Great Guac Masher
Perfect tool for unintended uses...like mashing avocados for guacamole. I'm sure it will get used as a potato smasher, among other things in the future!
