Betwoo Plastic Sink Strainer Kitchen Sink Drain Filter Basket (Set of 2, Orange)

I use these sink strainers in way most people don't. I use them to make artwork by pouring acrylic paint onto a canvas to create beautiful patterns in the paint. This artform, acrylic pouring, is fairly new and is becoming quite popular. There are YouTube videos showing how to use these strainers in this way. This particular brand is perfect for this purpose. They come four in a package for a reasonable price and they wash clean of the paint very easily. I love them.

I think these are pretty but they do not work well. The holes are quite big so it doesn't block a lot of stuff from going down the drain. The other issue I have with them is that they hold back water and gunk from flowing into the basket. If you need it to keep large things from going down the sink this will work fine but if you want to keep tea leaves out and have all particals collect in the basket so you can easily empty it that isn't going to happen.

I actually bought these strainers for a painting project I had. I only needed two so I decided to try them out in my double kitchen sink. Seriously, I have no idea why I’m almost 30 and just now realizing by accident, that these types of strainers are sooo much easier!!! They catch food better and are easier to clean. Really great material and I’m still excited to get two of them all messy with paint!

I ended up needing to return these. They're super cute but the colorful 'petals' created a slight barricade or dam that prevented water from draining completely. Once I lifted it up, the rest of the water would drain. Probably would not have been helpful to catch food particles if all of the water won't even flow into it. Might have just been how our sink is set up, but for me it wasn't worth testing out beyond the ability to return it. In addition, it's all plastic so that just contributes to further environmental waste once it's time for a replacement.

I’ve had this item for about a month now. It performs as I needed, hoped and expected it to as a catch in my kitchen sink. It replaces what I’ve been buying from Walmart for several years because of price and shipping charges and quantity received. The item seems to be about the same quality but time will tell. It is of a, what seems to a layperson, to be a plastic type substance, but that is sturdy enough to hold up in its intended capacity.For the old ones, with regular use, regular bleaching to keep it sanitary and washing it in the dishwasher too about 2-3 times a month; I would replace it when it would start to chip along the outside border. The strainer part never did. I usually got at least 6 months out of one of those but, as stated, I’m not easy on them. I keep them sanitized and change them out when they begin to break down. If I could not find them for some reason to replace them, I have gotten as long as a year out of them but they were pretty ratty by the time they were disposed of. Let me be clear...I am giving you the history that I have, of what I’ve used before, a comparable strainer, from Walmart. I see this one to be of at least as good quality but, in all honesty, as I’ve only had it for a month or so, that’s all I can speak to.I got an email from the shipper asking for an honest review to help other prospective customers so I’m offering what I have to offer as honestly as I can. I have used this one in the same manner as the old ones and have washed it in the dishwasher at least twice. I use vinegar often in my sinks to wash fruits and vegetables and when I have meats in my sinks, I use bleach before and after, with lots of rinsing at both times, removing the strainer before the meat but dishwasher sanitizing it after the meat and bleach wash. (I put the meat in a bowl for anyone going eww, but liquids can slosh and I’m immune compromised, so...) So far, it shows no signs of fading or of wear/tear. It seems to be holding up well but it’s only been a month or so. On the other hand, it was just a couple of bucks each and I think I’ll very much get my $ worth.All this being said about quality and value, I’ll say something about personal choice and why I chose this one over the others available.If I could find a non-toxic, fair trade, sustainable option that served my purpose just as well but that didn’t put chemicals that compromise my health and planet that would be great and I’d be willing to pay a little more for it. I know the description says that “Betwoo is the brand for exporting home products. It has been adhering to the concept of simplicity,fashion, refreshing, natural, environmental health and free combination design, designing more productsthat are close to customer needs, and providing services for our customers“ and “Material: Environmentally friendly plastics for bottom + Soft TPR resin flower shape edge,weight: 30 g/pcs,set of 4”. I am immunocompromised as well as other serious issues where I must consider my environment carefully. I’m only beginning to learn about how much everyday products affect even the smallest things in our bodies that we’d never expect but it makes a big difference. I’m learning these lessons in a very personal way after bleach and Lysol have been a germophobes best friend’s for life. Now, only bleach, in moderation, with meat and toilets. One thing at a time😃 My Point is that while I know you can’t believe every claim made, this item at least had the possibility of being better than straight up plastics. Better personally and better for the planet. I have no way to know, certainly, with my level of knowledge currently and given that the item arrived in a box in a clear bag with nothing else. No papers. No labels. Certainly didn’t fill me with confidence that it’s true but not proof it’s not so I go back to what I do know. In the time I’ve used it, it’s worked.Sorry for the flight of the bumblebee thought processes. My focus isn’t as clear as it was when I was stronger but I hope you can find something I offered helpful. It’s scattered but honest 😊

While pretty, the holes are too big, allowing larger particles to slip through. When you have a septic system, this is very important. I had purchased some similar to these from farberware at a discount store and thought these would be the same. They are made very well but will eventually create more problems down the road in the plumbing. I will not purchase again.

I have the standard double sink in the kitchen, one with a disposal. I thoroughly dislike having to fish out things that accidentally fall into the disposal, not a frequent occurrence, but still... The other sink has one of those plastic sink stoppers, but the slightest bit of debris kept the sink from draining. So, when I saw the sink strainers, I bought them. They are colorful, sturdy, and fit both drains. Nothing gets into the disposal unless I want it to. The other sink doesn't get stopped up when I don't want it to. Each has a small plastic piece that sticks up from the center to grab when you want it out of the drain. I toss them once a week into the top shelf of the dishwasher to keep them clean. I am really glad I bought them.

I actually bought these to use as a little cute bowl to put BIRD SEED IN that goes on a little picnic table My dad made me to hang on my fence or a tree to feed Squirrels and birds. So I needed something small enough and cute and would not hold water but still hold the food THIS IS PERFECT..lol but I did keep two of them and I use them in my KITCHEN Sink and they work GREAT!!! I have not hung it yet but if you want to see what I am talking about just google Squirrel picnic tables and you will get an Idea of what I have.

A handy item !

exactly what I expected. I use these for colander pour for acrylic paints. Perfect size.

Love the plastic. Easy to clean and don't get all yucky.
