Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips 3-Piece Funnel and Strainer Set
Customer Review: Two good funnels and a crappy strainer.
Summary: 3 Stars
1. The strainer is very hard to lock into place.
2. The strainer only strains large particles about the size of dry grits or very coarsely ground coffee. So that means that most coffee grounds go right through the strainer even if the strainer doesn't pops out like is does on me. The strainer is good for nothing that I need it for.
3. Both of the funnels are pretty nice. The rubber grips are pretty nice too.
Customer Review: Oxo No Grips Funnels
Summary: 3 Stars
I am really disappointed in the lack of sturdy handles on both funnels. There is not much to hold on to when straining hot gravy, etc. And the strainer insert is very flimsy! I bought this set to qualify for free shipping. If I had seen the funnels in the store I would not have purchased them.Customer Review: Good grips 3 piece funnel and strainer
Summary: 3 Stars
Item arrived quickly and was what I ordered. It was new. I would not recommend this funnel and strainer to anyone. It is just a gimmick and not very useful or practical.Customer Review: quality control issues
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered these funnels through the OXO company store and upon further inspection they appeared to be defective, with some excess of the black silicone rubber curled up inside the funnel as well as a gap in the epoxy glue which visually appears as if dust embedded on the inside of the funnel. As well, the small openings on the funnels make them very limited in use for certain tasks, such as pickling if not trying to safely transfer peppercorns into a pepper grinder.
It is understandable why people like these funnels so much, though I returned mine and will likely purchase the KitchenAid set with the wide-mouth and flexible silicon openings because they better suit my needs. Though I do question the quality control of this OXO product, as looking at others in a retail store also indicated traces of excess silicone on the inside of the funnels, as if rough or unfinished, creating a potential problem for spices, say, sticking to the inside of the funnel.
