Spring Chef XL Dough Blender Tool For Baking, Heavy Duty Pastry Blender, Stainless Steel Pastry Cutter with Durable Blades, Dough Mixer, Butter Cutter for Easy Mixing, Dishwasher Safe - Aqua Sky

I like that this product has some weight to it. The handle is comfortable to hold.

I originally bought the smaller one as this version was not advertised until since then. Excellent product and extremely good customer service. I thought the handle (of the smaller one) could be a little wider as my hand was a little tight and said so in reply to a request for comments. The co-founder who contacted me said they had a new item, a larger version, that I might like to try. They made me an offer I couldn't refuse, and my wife decided she liked the smaller one, so now we have both sizes. Thanks!As far as the blenders themselves, they are excellently built. Nothing flimsy here. I haven't used them for pastry yet, but guacamole came out fine and very quickly. Onions weren't so successful, but then I can mince them pretty fast with a knife. I would say that this product lives up to its claims in both sizes. I thought the handle could be a little wider as my hand was a little tight and said so in reply to a request for comments.

Although I originally got this for making biscuits and pie crusts, it works unusually well to chop up avocadoes for guacamole and eggs for egg salad. I am also using it when I brown ground meat in my cast iron pan. It is well made and cleans easily in the dishwasher.

This works very well to cut in butter with flour or mix up dough. Fits well in the hand, relatively easy to clean (making sure to get between the tines). The only thing that stops this from being a 5-star, for me, is that the blades (the outer two blades on either side) can bend inwards a bit during use, especially (and perhaps only, in my experience) when using it in a bowl with steeper sides. They bend back fairly easily, and it is still 100% usable, I just wish the blades were a little stronger on the outer edges. Of course, I could use bowls with less steep sides too, but it is what it is.

Very nice and sturdy. Biscuits and pie dough will be easy tasks with this tool.

the dough blender works very well. sure beats using 2 knives to cut in shortening or butter.

I bought this for my son who is experimenting with cooking all the things I used to make him, but as a grown-up-navy-man bachelor. It feels very comfortable and sturdy to me, but since it's a gift, I won't be trying it out. It seems like it's a great size for a bigger hand than mine and that's what I wanted!

Works well!!

This issue with cheaper pastry blenders is that they are flimsy. This one in contrast to my old cheap box store version is strong. No bends whatsoever. Nice thick metal and the "no screw" handle I think makes a difference.
