The hole in the handle is great for hanging, the handle is comfortable for my large hands, the whisk is lightweight and it works.

The cons are: it is "top heavy" and falls out of the bowl if I rest it against the sides and the ridges at the bottom of the handle are impossible to clean - I use this mostly for eggs and pancakes and I need a small brush or toothpick to get batter out of the small ridges at the bottom of the handle grip.

I am still using this whisk as I'am very frugal but if I forget and leave it resting in the bowl after I pour the eggs in the pan it ends up on the floor- it is so light weight you don't realize that it is top heavy.

Ideal for those of us who don't want to scratch up our non-stick pots and pans, but not as strong as a metal whisk for those with other cookware or more labor intensive applications requiring greater durability.

As a bonus though the handle is standard Oxo and quite comfortable.

This sturdy nylon whisk, 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 to 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 is designed to the let flow the most air into your creams, meringues, custards and frostings for fluffier, even results. This is also a great tool for whisking directly into the saucepan on the stove, since its non-abrasive nylon materials are safe to use on non-stick cookware and are heat-resistant up to 400º Fahrenheit. Moreover, it comes with an oversized hole at the tip of the handle for easy hanging, and its easy-to-clean, simple construction and dishwasher-safe, hardwearing materials make it an addition that will prove a dependable part of your cooking equipment for years.
After submitting this product to over three years of normal, everyday use, mine is still just like new.

The whisk was a little bigger than what I really wanted, but I still like it and use it often. I love the quality.

This whisk is perfect for sauces or anything that you would whisk in a nonstick surface where metal is questionable. The grip is easy to hold and it has some rubber ribbing so that you can set it on the side of the pan.
Great Product.

This whisk has a very comfortable grip, as do all Oxo products, and it does a great job of putting air into the mixture. It's light weight, but does a fine job.

Would recommend for non-stick pans. It works great without having to worry about scratching them with the metal whisks.

this whisk is larger than it appears--however, it is good for use in non-stick pans and is very easy to clean

you want a non-stick whisk for your non-stick cookwares, and oxo has got this for you. quality product from oxo and amazon sold it to me at $4.99 (which included S&H as i bought items worth of >$25).

I usually like Oxo stuff, but this is an exception. The whisk is too flimsy at the point where the "wires" converge on the handle. Therefore, you have to hold the whisk by that part of the wires and not by the handle to keep it from flexing too much. A reinforcing circle of nylon would have solved this problem. I would not buy this again, even at the clearance price. How does something like this make it through engineering and testing?
