Great masher.  I always hated all the other mashers and how you had to hold them.  With the handle horizontal vs. vertical it is easier to mash with less effort.  The only thing I would change on it would be to have the distance between the handle and the masher end farther apart.  Making mashed potatoes for a family of 8 my fingers would dip into the hot potatoes every once and a while.  But still love it
