"Didn't come apart"
I went to a big chain store that sold several varieties of look-alike strainers. I tested them all by pushing down firmly on the mesh, approximating the amount of pressure I would use if I was trying to get the last juices out of meats and veggies from a homemade stock. The OXO was the only one that held together. On every other strainer, the screen came off the rim.

"Perfect size"
This is an absolutely perfect size. It is not so big that you won't find a place to store it, but large enough to hold a bunch of angel hair pasta that would slip right out of the little holes in a traditional colander. It also fits over the sink so that I can pour the pasta (or whatever I'm draining) right into it, water and all, and have the water drain into the sink.

It doesn't say in the description, but this is a double weave strainer. In other words, there are two layers of thin metal mesh to ensure even the smallest seeds and particles are caught in the net.

It has a traditional soft black rubber Oxo handle, too. This is important when using it over the sink as it keeps it from slipping around when the water hits it.

Nice!

"Fantastic Strainer"
I have been strainerless for a few years. I have somehow muddled through, but now that I have this awesome strainer, I don't see how I made it. Like most OXO products, this has a great grippy handle. The mesh is tight enough to catch even small chunks, and the strainer is large enough so I can balance it across my sink. Love it.

"Much better than anticipated"
I am a foodie and as such, I own quite a few strainers. This is the first Good Grips strainer I've purchased and although I love almost everything Oxo makes, I was still surprised at the size, quality and fineness of the mesh on this one.

Do your math, this is a HUGE strainer compared to most hand-held strainers, but the mesh is quite fine and yet sturdy at the same time.

It's without a doubt the best strainer I've purchased anywhere. I hung it on a hook because it's too big for my various utensil crocks, but I find myself reaching for it even for pasta, for which I'd normally use a colander.

Considering the 4 for 3 deal going on right now, it was a superb value, as well.

I intend to buy the smaller versions, as well, to replace my older strainers.

Oxo seems to make their products better and better all the time. I have yet to get a 'dud' from the Good Grips collection.

"Good value"
I originally bought this strainer to make baby food for my son, but I use it all the time for things that are smaller and don't necessitate a large colander. It is very sturdy and fits across one side of my double sink, leaving my hands free. It cleans in the dishwasher. Good product at a reasonable price.
