Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Smooth Potato Masher
Customer Review: OXO 34581 Masher
Summary: 5 Stars
There are four spot welds on each side of the handles that attach to the masher, my last WMF ricer-style masher failed at these points because it only had one on each side. The OXO is true to its name, easy to grip. It may take a couple of times to get used to holding your hand horizontally rather than vertically, but it is much less tiring. Model 34581 will only do so much, as your knuckles will touch the food if you are doing a great quantity, but easily works on my usual quantity of 2-5 hand-sized spuds. I have also used it to break up tomatoes and look forward to using it on fresh peaches prepared for our annual ice cream crank. Hard to find a good spot for it in the dish-washer and drawer, forget about storing it in a container on the counter with other handy tools if that is your style.Customer Review: Excellent Masher
Summary: 5 Stars
We have not had this product long enough to know about its durability, but it does exactly what it says; makes smooth mashed potatoes easily. The horizontal grip is much easier that a vertical handle to apply pressure to the potatoes. I also use it to mash turnips, sweet potatoes, to mash up some vegetables when cooking some soups and for mashing some of the beans when making black beans and rice. It cleans up easily. The bottom masher part of the tool is welded to the two sides. That is unavoidable, but would be the only place where it could break. The weld is good so that probably would not happen. I really like it.Customer Review: Great Grip
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe that I am so excited about such a simple kitchen tool. The vintage ricer which I used for more years than I will acknowledge has been retired.
I looked at several different mashers and realized that ergonomically I needed the downward push. And this masher more than meets my expectations. And shortened the time in the process.
My only issue is that it must be stored in a larger drawer because of the size and not in my kitchen tool container. Worth every cubic inch of storage.
This is The One to buy. Sturdy, comfortable to use, economy of motion and easy to clean.
Customer Review: Finally

Finally I can make mashed potatoes without using my mixer. I am a quadriplegic/tetraplegic (C5-6 for thos who care) and I can use this tool. Traditional potato mashers just require more grip than I have in my hand. Plus the horizontal handle makes the pushing easier, as well.My mother with mild arthritis likes this as well as her traditional masher.
As with most Oxo tools it is highly ergonomic: it fits the hand and does the job it's supposed to.
Customer Review: This is it.
Summary: 5 Stars
The design staff at OXO really have it together. One after the other they create winners. This is no exeption. It's sturdily built, has a beautiful finish, and seems to have the perfect size and shape to mash the most potatoes with the least effort. My kind of tool. Besides, it looks great, and that doesn't hurt when it's off duty.
