Excellent product
This is a really well thought out product. I like the idea of heating the water in the pot first, then filling the strainer with the spaghetti, and gently lowering it into the boiling water. Once the noodles are cooked, the strainer can be lifted back out over the sink and the water drained out of the strainer. The strainer even has little feet on it to facilitate that. My only problem is that I need a pot that will fit it better. This is a 3-quart strainer, so it needs a 4 quart pot. All I have is a 2.5 quart and an 8 quart pot so I borrowed a neighbor's pot to try it out. The choice then was to get a new pot or return the strainer, and I've decided to get a new pot.

I love collapsible bowls and items that save space in my kitchen, so I purchased this collander. It is very nicely built and is made from very strong silicone. The color is true to the picture. I got blue. It has silver metal trim (stainless steel) and can be used fully extended or "scrunched" smaller for lesser quantities. It has a large number of drain holes, but I do find that it doesn't drain water away from items as well as my old, plastic, full-size collander did. I think it is because the holes on this unit are smaller than the hard plastic version I had, so I am on the fence as to whether I will throw away my old one. I love the way it collapses and takes up so little room, so I will keep it and try to give things a really 'good shake" when I am draining them.

A little detail about the handles, otherwise fantastic.
The only thing I'd change design-wise is the little plastic/rubber inserts that go inside the handles... they pop out here and there depending how you hang or clean the strainer.Functionally this is amazing, a great implementation of the idea of a strainer made out of an accordion but with the stability and multi-functionality of some of the more versatile kitchen products I've owned, such as the silicone whisk that flips flat. Having the ability to flatten this is huge in my kitchen as I have a limited amount of space for everything.

This Colander Is Perfect!
I have a suppressed immune system so when I travel I can't have any fresh fruits or vegetables that aren't cooked that I haven't prepared/washed myself. This colander is perfect as it will easily fit in my suitcase. I can go to the local market to get all the fresh goodies I want and clean them myself.The colander is well built and easy to collapse and pop out. It is a great size and has feet to the bottom isn't sitting in the sink or counter.

Great Design
Better than advertised. Easy to clean and store. Are sturdy and well made. No weird chemical smell. I really like the incorporation of the stainless steel strainer with the collapsibility of the silicon. Wish I knew of this product years ago.

Nice colander. Collapses and pops up easily. space saver.
Have used only for draining spaghetti and fruit. I cook one pound of thin spaghetti at a time and it all stays in the colander when draining - no stray strands coming through the drain hoes in the bottom. It collapses like magic (put in dishwasher in collapsed state and it all comes clean) and pops up easily. Stores in a small place - about the thickness of two plates when collapsed. Seems sturdy enough to last for years.

Fantastic Quality
Super sturdy, much better quality than any I have seen. Took a few go's to get the hang of opening it, but easy once I turn it upside down. I have very small hands and I can open and close it. Can't wait to take my old clunky one to goodwill. Great space saver for apartment or RV, I have lots of cabinets but use a colander daily and want it at arms reach.

Great Concept
This is a great product - it's well made and sturdy and the fact that it collapes makes it even better. The less space I take up in my kitchen with all my gadgets, the better.
