This Oxo Good Grips whisk cannot double for the sturdy wire balloon whisk that I use for most jobs; however, it is perfect when bare metal is not a good choice for mixing. Because I make sourdough bread and starter, I needed a non-reactive whisk to better blend the flour and water when feeding the starter. Anything thicker than pancake batter, however, will severely test this whisk. Its head bends quite easier, and the fit between loops is not tight enough to keep everything in place while whisking, although so far everything pops back in place when I'm done. As with all Good Grips products, the rubber handle is comfortable and non-slip. It also gets points for being dishwasher-safe.
Do not get this whisk if you don't already have a heavy-duty one. This whisk is best used against nonstick surfaces or in cases where you need a non-reactive means of mixing. For an everyday whisk, I would give it only two stars, but, as a supplemental utensil, it gets five stars from me, primarily because it is exactly what I wanted and expected.

Customer Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't use this often, but when I do it's indispensable. I have a very good set of thick aluminum teflon lined pans. They cost me a small fortune, so, knowing how temperamental Teflon coatings can be, I will not use (or allow the use) of metal tools in my pans.
This is why I love this whisk. Whenever I'm making a sauce, this is the tool I grab. The handle is large and comfortable, the sticky rubber surface of the handle provides a confident grip, and the nylon "tines" are sturdy yet flexible enough to provide just the degree of blending I need when making Alfredo (or any other) sauce. And despite the fact that it's a "balloon" whisk it's still small enough to make and effective tool. Maybe OXO will make a slightly smaller version of this? Hope so.
Lovely!
