Helix Potato Ricer Masher Ergonomic Twist-Action Hand Manual Stainless Steel For Mashed Potato, Vegetable Purees, Stainless Steel

This is much easier then the press down juicer I had before. Build quality is great. It will squeeze oranges and limes easily. Smooth handles still provide good grip and the strainer will catch all the seeds. Great value and easy to use. Cleanings also easy as the unit is made of 2 separate parts. So there are no hinges to get loose.

Easy to use and easy to clean up

Easy to use and clean, good quality.

I’m about to order my second one of these, though admittedly, not after looking for an alternative. First one lasted a year and a few days, and I’m really disappointed it hasn’t lasted longer. I really think that because these are similar in price to a lot of metal ones that hold up for years, these should last longer. But I do use it daily, so take that into consideration. It lasted me about 370 days. And I’ll add the reason I choose this over those hinged metal ones (I used to have one for many years) is that it’s important to me to be able to run it through the dishwasher and this one requires less effort to mash the lemon more effectively. Pros: Works really well, easy to use, gets every drop of juice, easy to clean (dishwasher safe) Cons: 1. broke just after a year. One of the plastic pieces that secures the two parts together snapped off. I feel like it should last longer, but I do use it daily. 2. Hard to store. It’s incredibly large and bulky. I’m glad I use it every morning because it comes out of the clean dishwasher, gets used at breakfast, and then goes right back in. (I drink warm lemon water each morning.) If I had to find a place to store it in my tiny kitchen, it would be a problem. 3. There’s nothing to catch seeds or bits of pulp, and they do fall through the large holes. My workaround is I set this juicer in a small tea strainer that fits in the top of my mug. The tea strainer catches seeds and any bulky pulp bits.

Omg! I didn’t need to ask for help ricing potatoes! It was such a pleasure to use.

Hats off to the designers and engineers, this a great product! No internal moving parts, easy to take apart, relatively easy to clean. Other garlic presses get all the tougher bits jammed into the press holes, making it impossible to clean---not this one. A quick rinse and a swish of the finger inside and the bits all come out. Another review mentioned that the handles were flimsy and broke. I would say that person had some really dense garlic, or they have overpowered grip strength! If you're nervous about that, just don't overpack it or squeeze it from the absolute end and you'll be fine. My only complaint is that some of the garlic will wind up unpressed, and you have to fish it out and press it a second time. Not a big deal for me,but something to be aware of. All in all, highly recommended.

I was initially pretty skeptical about whether a plastic-and-nylon gear design could really beat a classic metal press, but the Joseph Joseph name brand and the unique helix design eventually won me over. I ended up buying it thinking it would be the ultimate ergonomic upgrade for my kitchen. I really wanted to love the concept, but after using it for a while, I’ve had to go back to my old ways. What’s to Like (and What’s Not) On the surface, it’s a stylish piece of kit. If you primarily care about the color, design, and having a name brand on your counter, it looks the part. However, the "ergonomic" claim feels like a bit of a stretch. In reality, it’s bulky and heavy, which makes it feel more cumbersome than "easy-squeeze" when you're actually in the middle of prep. The biggest letdown, though, was the efficiency. You'd expect a high-end design to maximize output, but I was consistently getting maybe 60% of the juice. I found myself having to either throw away the wasted fruit or—defeating the entire purpose—manually squeezing the rest with my hands. The Downside The final straw for me was the durability. For the price I paid, I expected high-quality construction, but a peg actually broke off during use! It’s hard to justify the premium price tag when the mechanical parts don't hold up to standard kitchen tasks. The Verdict If you’re looking for a light, high-quality, and high-output juicer, you should probably look elsewhere. While it looks great, it just doesn't deliver the 90-95% juice extraction you'd expect for this investment. Unless the aesthetic is your #1 priority, this one is a disappointment.

incredibly easy to use! As a professional chef of over 25 years, economy of motion is an extremely unserved aspect in a lot of gadget design. the Helix (?) style mechanism means even someone with mobility issues should be able to mash their potatoes with ease. Nice and fluffy potatoes, I bought this for making gnocchi but am excited to make mashed potatoes after seeing the resulting texture. I’m also ordering the garlic sized press, I’m so pleased with the design (and ease of cleaning) with this.

You may more then for similar product. But you get quality. Definitely worth having it

In your endless scroll on tiktok, you probably saw a video of someone using this device and felt the urge to buy it.... I feel you. That's exactly what happened to me. I waited a while to actually buy it because, i don't really trust an hyped product on social media, but then, i remembered, when I was young, my mom used to make potato rice and i wanted to eat some, just like the old days, so i finally ordered it. Great decision. I waited a bit to use it when it arrived, you know.. I wasn't sure. One night while i needed to make mashed potato, i wondered how soft they would be if I'd rice them first and oh god, I'm glad i did! They're the softest! So good! No more clumps in my homemade mashed! They where soooo soft and delicious! My 5 yo also agreed, they are now the BEST mashed potato. Its really easy to use too, no real effort needed. My 5yo also does it, with a little help but she loves ricing them. It's also pretty easy to clean, only tips i would give is to wash the left over potato with hot water right after using it, sonthe potato won't stick to it and it's way easier to clean then. I wish you all soft and delicious mashed!

Excellent potato ricer. Easy to use and very solid. The key is not the overcook the potatoes though. Otherwise, the mash turns very gluey.

Some reviews state this device does not squeeze all the juice out of the fruit. This was not an issue for me. I tried it initially on a standard UK supermarket lemon (probably the smallest available in the western world) and it coped very well. I tested that by trying to get more juice out of what was left of the fruit, but the difference was minimal. This was purchased because I thought my wife would have less difficulty with this squeezer than other types and that is the case: it takes a lot less effort. The unit juices without pushing pips or bits out of itself. It is well made and cleans very easily. Quality product.

Highly recommended product. Easy to use and clean, well designed, sturdy.
