The potato ricer is awesome. You can see the potatoes well pour in, since the opening is quite large and the kart can be open on both sides quickly and cleanly by pressing. Needs a little force. The result is a smooth easy mashed potatoes. A little tip: The mass 2x pass through the press! The press is easy to clean. Price is not cheap, but good for household helpers you can spend what times. I have my cheap old Karoffelpresse disposed equal, hab 'me enough so annoyed now joy is only announced.
