 More like a "duster" than a sifterJul 10, 2010
Its a new game: See how long you can tolerate trying to sift with this thing before you put it down, get a mesh strainer to sift with. I lasted 20 seconds. I gave this 2 stars only because I could see using it to "dust" things
 Great Product, love it!!Jan 17, 2010
I love this sifter. You shake it back to forth and it sifts for you. Very easy to use!! I love how there are lids for the top and bottom. So I can save my powder sugar in there and just take off the bottom lid when I want to use it. Which is usually for french toast!!!
slow and tedious...Dec 19, 2009
I like OXO products for the most part, but this sifter, is more work than it should be, takes forever to sift even a 1 cup of flour, and leaves your hand/fingers numb. I was not pleased with this product. Helen in Maine

great for whole wheat flourNov 04, 2009
I bought this sifter because I use whole wheat flour and the particles would get caught between the sieves when there are more than one sieve. With this one, I can easily clean any particles that don't go through the sieve, as there is only one.

 Nifty sifterSep 29, 2009
I've tried to up the rating to five stars and can't figure out how to do that. I originally gave this four stars because I feel the design could be greatly improved with very little change. Based on experience with other sifters, I felt I was being too tough and wanted to change to five stars.
When I was a kid (many, many years ago) my mother had a sifter than had a long, straight handle. You could shake this sifter side to side or hold the sifter in one hand and rapidly move the handle back and forth with the other hand. It was the best sifter I've ever used and I've been looking for something like it ever since I started baking on my own. This sifter gave me a hint that it might work the same way that old sifter did, and it's close.
The sifter is very well made. It is about 4 1/2" in diameter across the top and 3 1/2" across the bottom. It will hold about three cups of flour, although it's only marked to two cups. The "cup" portion is definitely quality stainless steel. The pivot point of the handle is hidden under the "comfort grip" portion, so I can't tell what the connection is like. There are no holes or openings in the "cup" portion that will leak flour. The caps are a nice addition, especially the bottom cap. With that on, you don't need to be concerned about the sifter dusting everything in the cupboard with flour.
Another reviewer said it is very slow. I've just tried mine out, and found out a few things I'd like to share. Please keep in mind that I use home-milled, whole grain flour, so my experience might be a little different from one using all-purpose flour.
If I put less than 2 cups of flour in the sifter, it worked better than if I filled it up. When I filled it, hardly any flour would sift. I found shaking it from side to side was on the slow side, even with a smaller amount. Using the memory of my mother's sifter, I tried holding the cup and moving the handle back and forth with my other hand. This worked VERY well, and the sifting was as fast as any other sifter I've used. When moving the handle back and forth it was going across the entire bottom and ending against the side. The little "bump" against the side seemed to make the difference between fast and slow sifting. My problem is that I have small hands and it was uncomfortable for me to put my hand across the top of the opening.
OXO, if you're listening, please make a smaller size of this with a smaller "can". This would be the perfect sifter if it was small enough for me to hold comfortably in one hand. And that's saying a lot since I've been looking for a good sifter for 30 years!
