Works easy enough and the potatoes come out super smooth. Only down side is some of the potatoes can fall out on top of the plunger and can fall into your bowl of smooth potaotes. Not a bad price and seems like a good quality so far.

Pros:

Consistent Texture: This potato ricer produces very smooth and consistent mashed potatoes. The small holes in the ricer help break down the potatoes effectively, creating a velvety texture.

Easy to Use: This potato ricer is very straightforward to use. You place the cooked potatoes into the chamber, and by pressing down, the mashed potatoes are forced through the small holes. This process requires minimal effort.

Versatile: While primarily used for potatoes, I've used this potato ricer also for other vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, or squash. It's a versatile tool for various recipes.

Less Gluey Texture: Unlike mashing with a regular potato masher or electric mixer, a ricer doesn't overwork the potatoes, which can lead to a gluey texture. It keeps the starches in the potatoes from being overactivated, resulting in lighter and fluffier mashed potatoes. I learned that from Gordon Ramsey!

Easy to Clean: This potato ricer is easy to clean, as it has removable parts that can be placed in the dishwasher or cleaned by hand. I've done both with this one.

Cons:

Limited to Mashed Texture: While potato ricers excel at producing smooth, creamy mashed potatoes, they aren't suitable for dishes where you want a chunky or rustic texture. For those cases, a masher might be more appropriate.

Storage: Potato ricers in general can be bulky and may take up space in your kitchen. Look for models with a compact design if you have limited storage.

Not Ideal for Large Batches: If you need to mash a significant quantity of potatoes, using a potato ricer can be time-consuming compared to using an electric mixer. But the flavor is the pay-off.

In summary, this potato ricer is an excellent addition to your kitchen if you appreciate perfectly smooth and creamy mashed potatoes and other vegetables. Its ease of use and ability to maintain a desirable texture make it a valuable tool for creating delicious side dishes.

I used this for the first time to make my own gnocchi and it worked perfectly. I baked the potatoes as you’re supposed to cut them into chunks and riced them with this tool. It’s easy to use and cleaned up quickly. If you’re looking for a ricer that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I recommend this one.

It's a good utensil but its size and weight make it difficult to use and clean. If ricing something firm like a baked sweet potato significant arm strength is needed. Soft stuff like banana or watery cooked spinach are much easier. Lucky me - my kitchen sink is two bowl and one is narrower than the other and I can rest this thing across the span from sink divider to countertop. That way all I have to do is press down on the handle on top and that makes it a lot easier than having to exert pressure from both sides. Because of how big and cumbersome it is it's difficult to wash too. If I couldn't rest it on a solid supporting surface like I do I would not use it much. But with my setup I do use it often and get good results. Better than setting up a food processor.

I purchased this potato ricer to use as a veggie squeezer. Ive been on a low carb diet and having spialized zucchini and other veggies in my diet. It’s great except when draining and squeezing the liquid out of the spiralized noodles by hand. This product lets you use leverage to apply pressure to the noodles much easier and the liquid is easily expressed quickly. Happy camper now
The unit is very heavy duty in construction. The handles are made with relatively thick steel that do not bend under pressure.
The cup / bucket is generous size and capacity to get thru a couple pounds of zucchini in a few minutes.
The press plate fits the cup fairly well such that minimal product squeezes past the wrong way.
The entire unit is stainless steel for easy cleaning. There are black rubber grip pads in the handles tho.
Surface finish is very attractive polished stainless. Smooth and refined. NOTE. As others have stated there are very sharp edges on the handles. To the point it is dangerous. I knew this before buying and immediately took a fine metal file to these sharp edges removing the sharp burr. A dremel tool would make this easy work.
One other caveat is the lower handle which wrap around the cup tends to flex a bit at the cup when pressing. It works fine but this seems to be a weak-ish area. (You can apply a ton of pressure with the upper handle) so be aware when pressing to not flex the lower handle too much. It’s sturdy but just be aware
I love it anyway!!!

Ditch the potatoe masher and buy this potatoe river for great mashed potatoes. This tool makes creating mashed potatoes a breeze. Much easier to use than using a traditional masher and you end up with fluffy mashed potatoes. This ricer is high quality and just what you need for the holiday season.

I use the ricer principally for ricing potatoes for making lefse. I had a cheaper model for several years, and while it worked, potato squished out around the plunger. I ditched it and bought this one. It works so well!! Almost no squishing out! I would highly recommend this item! Its strong and does a great job!

If you want to rice your potatoes (who doesn’t?) you are looking at the right item. This thing was built specifically to do just that. Kapow!

I didn't think I needed a potato ricer until I had one. Now I know that everyone needs one.
