This is my fifth different kitchen gadget made by OXO that has ultimately failed because it broke. Not a good track record, if you ask me. As a masher it worked fine on potatoes and whole tomatoes, the non-stick coating was a nice feature, the grip work fine. Recently I noticed the handle seemed a little loose. Then while we were cooking Thanksgiving dinner my husband was using it. He pushed down to mash and the whole thing came apart! The side pieces are inserted into the handle and appear to use tension and some type of bonding agent to hold it together. The repeated force of mashing things was too much for the masher, which misses the whole point, doesn't it? It was amazing my husband didn't cut himself on some of the pieces of exposed plastic, which were sharp. Could I glue it back together? Maybe. Is it worth it? No!
