After reading some of the reviews, I wasn’t sure what to expect. We don’t really care for lumps in our potatoes, and I have been using a hand mixer for years. But I know that’s not the best way to handle your potatoes. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this mashed my potatoes, getting out all the lumps and making them creamy. I would definitely buy again.

No es como la wmf, pero cumple muy bien su trabajo. Lo recomiendo.

I can't imagine anyone who enjoys making mashed foods not celebrating this product as the best and last masher they will ever need or use.

This is the best and most sturdy potato masher that I’ve owned, and I love the fact that it can convert into a flat form for easier storage.

I love that it folds to store in the drawer. That's enough to earn five stars from me. Easy to open close, and the masher is just rounded enough to be able to get the "corners" of a bowl or pot. Lost a star due to sturdyness. You can feel it buckle slightly of you try to mash down too hard. It's held up well though.

I first found this genius kitchen tool about 10yrs ago in Perth Australia. I have guarded it with my life since as it’s brilliant folding design saves storage space, tangles and clutter in that one draw we all often have and know as chaos.I had searched high and low throughout Australia for a second one but alas, until one day recently I decided to look on Amazon as I knew the history and origin of the “magic masher”, which is induction enough how much I loved mine. I was so excited when I came across it I bought two, with the intention of gifting one of the best and most simple of all kitchen utensils.It’s that good even my husband enjoys mashing, so much so it’s become his job when prepping at mealtimes - and that’s saying something.I cannot recommend the Prepara Stainless Steel Masher enough - and I do not give compliments easily. Hands down THE BEST mashing product on the market. It’s almost worthy of a place in the Smithsonian as a great kitchen invention.

I was concerned that the open/close mechanism would be flimsy, but it is quite sturdy. Being able to fold the end down means we are able to place the masher into a smaller drawer. Also, the potato masher mashes quite well and the handle is comfortable.

Wow! Right out of the box you know you got a great potato masher. it's very well made a heavly weighed that says it can mash. like how it folds for easy storage. i have a lot of kitchen gadgets, for the price, you cannot beat it. i looked around at some of the kitchen stores and didn't see anything resembling the quality of this masher and they were 3-4 times more expensive.

Welch stabiler Kartoffelstampfer! Wer bis dato nie Lust hatte, Kartoffeln selbst zu stampfen, der muss unbedingt zu diesem faltbarern Stampfer greifen!

I got on with this masher better on second use. It's the best I've used. Quick. Good results. Fairly easy to clean. Well made. Robust.Stores easily.

This is a perfectly serviceable masher, but what sets it apart is the flip design that makes it easy to stow, and retrieve from drawers full of kitchen implements. It's nice not having to play tug of war to liberate this from among the wooden spoons and spatulas.The flip mechanism is not "gadgety" (read: going to break after one tough use) - the design is simple and sturdy. This will last a while. The handle is textured and easy to grip even with slippery hands.

After reading all 17 reviews about this product on Amazon.com, I was honestly impressed. All 17 reviews except for one reviewer gave this interesting product a { Five Star Rating } with the one reviewer giving it a Four Star Rating but at the same time submitting only excellent comments in there Four Star Rating ?When the masher arrived and I opened the box, I new I had made the correct decision. This Potato Masher is a very solid kitchen tool and the construction is all stainless steel with a nicely shaped plastic handle that feels very comfortable and secure in your hand. The one I ordered was the ( Brown ). It’s actually a Dark / Chocolate Brown and in dull light appears as flat black. It’s also available in ( Green ) for those who prefer a Lime Green handle. It also should be noted that the written descriptions you read about this product online fail to mention the fact that the swivel head actually locks into place when using it as a masher and also locks to either side for storage.To swivel the head, you simply apply a little pressure simultaneously on both side supports close to the stainless steel rivets. Just squeeze inwards slightly and it unlocks the head. Once triggered, the brilliantly designed swivel mechanism allows you to easily swing the head to either side moving it into a flatter position for storage in your kitchen drawer. It locks in all three positions ( Left / right / centre ). This is one kitchen tool that cleans up super fast with absolutely no effort involved.Here are all the exact measurements of this masher in inches.The length is 10.25 inches with the head in place for mashing. It is 11 inches in length with the head in position for storage. The mashing head diameter is 3.8 inches at the rivets and 3.5 inches in diameter. The head is a convex shape { slightly rounded on the outside }. The two sides ( Frame ) are tapered and are both 1 inch in width at there widest point at the rivets. The chocolate brown handle is 5 inches long and 1.5 inches in diameter at its widest point. It’s very light and only weighs about .4 pounds or 174 grams. On the outside of one fame is marked “Prepara” and on the inside of the other frame is marked - patent 7967230.My favorite masher before the “Prepara”, was the “ Rosie Rosle # 12780 “. It’s still available at Amazn.com. and retails for about $50. The “ Rosie Rosle ” masher is made entirely of quality stainless steel and uses small round holes like the “Prepara”, and mashes potatoes to perfection with ease. The head on the “ Rosie Rosle “ masher does not swivel for storage. Prior to the above I owned the “All-Clad” masher that cost more than $70. It was all stainless steel and looked super great but the performance was poor. The “Slotted “ head design was the problem. Always buy a potato masher that has a Stainless Steel Head with round or square holes ( Not Slots ). The “ All-Clad “ is now my favorite gardening tool for transplanting flowers. See “ Google Images ” for the design.What makes the “Prepara” masher perform so well is the ratio of stainless steel material that is in between the round holes. What doesn’t go through the holes the solid part squashes and this combination of textures works very well in producing the finished product. The same principal applies to the “Rosie Rosle “ masher. It’s the ratio of holes plus the solid material on the face of the head that gives both these mashers a definitive edge over all other potato mashers on the market. The curved face of the head of the “ Prepara “ now adds a “ third dimension ” of texture to the mashed potatoes and that gives it a slight advantage over the “ Rosie Rosle “.I personally recommend the “Prepara” Potato Masher to all. This is very well made masher with an ingenious design and is a solid mashing tool. It mashes potatoes to a perfection with ease and is an equal to the current “ Top Rated “ potato masher the “Rosie Rosle” at less than half it’s cost.So congratulations to all at “ Prepara “. At the modest retail price of $20 to $25 your potato masher is about to become a sensational success around the world. It’s truly a well deserved recognition for this product.

This is one of the smartest purchases I've made. It fits nicely in a drawer without taking up too much space. The hinged mechanism works great, and seems like it will hold up to wear and tear (feels well made). The heft of the masher is nice and it fits well in my hand. As for it's mashing ability, it works perfectly and quickly, almost ricing foods. Have used it on beans and potatoes and it really does the job. Happy with this and think you will be too if you buy it. The only thing that could make it better would be if it had a hole knotched in to hang on a hook, but that's just my preference.
