Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Not worth the money Comment: For $25, I expected something that would last more than a year. Got this for Christmas last year, and one of the handles broke completely off a few weeks ago (October). Do yourself a favor and buy a different product. Follow up: Two days after I posted this review, the other handle fell off. I won't be buying from this company again. Customer Rating: Summary: Great colander Comment: Easy to use, easy to clean. The legs spring out easily to hang over a large sink. Large oblong design makes rinsing fruit and draining pasta a breeze. Customer Rating: Summary: Garbage Comment: Aside from the fact that the holes are too small and too few to actually drain any food effectively, the handles are very cheaply made; mine broke after about a week. Inside those black plastic pieces screwed into the bowl is nothing but a single, sharp rod of spring steel that is wedged up into some plastic cams on either side of the handle's hinges. These plastic cams cannot stand up to the pressure being exerted upon them by the spring and understandably shear right off with little provocation, leaving you with handles that flop all over the place. If it had cost $5 I probably wouldn't care, but $30 for a colander is a little pricey by any standard. I attempted to contact Oxo's customer service department with this problem, and they simply told me to contact their customer service department. If this makes any sense to you, there might just be a job for you at Oxo headquarters in Texas. Duties include sending a lot of generic form letters in response to complaints you didn't read and never answering the phone. Customer Rating: Summary: Cool to use and to look at Comment: A nice piece of engineering and nice to look at. A pleasure to own and use. Customer Rating: Summary: A great over the sink colander Comment: I Love this colandar. Yes, it has it done sides as the previous reviewer mentions, however, there are plus' too. First, it is quite large and takes up a lot of room in the dishwasher, therefore, I clean it manually. It is very easy to do and leaves a lot more room for other things in the dishwasher. The main thing I love is that it fits over the sink. When you use it this way you do not have any of the water in the sink backing up to soak the food if you have a lot of water. This is especially good for pasta, beans, etc. Also, if you often have a couple of things in the sink to be washed as I do, you can still rinse without having to wash up even the smallest item. If I need berries or lettuce to be washed I use the salad spinner or berry spinner. A handled sieve works great for just a few berries to be washed and drained. It all depends on what you are looking for. This is especially good for draining hot water items. I often need more than one sieve for different things. The salad spinner is great but I don't put hot items in it and don't always want to wash it up for spaghetti when making the salad, etc. This along with the salad spinner and sieve are enough for me. I use to have more colandars but decided to downsize under the sink when we had a water purifier put it. This was the best one to keep for me. More Reviews
