I’ve only used this a few times. The rubber around the outside gets soft and breaks off. Black streaks also appear on the outside rubber portion. I’m disappointed as I bought three of these.Good product for the priceThis does the job as a drain strainer, but it is not a stopper — I can find no way to use it to stop the drain. All drain strainers are gross to clean, and this is no different. There’s no way to pick it up without getting slimmed. I like the design, but functionality it’s not ideal.This item was exactly what I needed so nothing falls in the disposal unexpectedly. Fit perfectly and cute tooThis sink strainer, disposal blocker is so cute at first and SERVES ITS PURPOSE, but after a few days, the orange part had black streaks in it! The more you try to scrub it, more orange comes off and there are more black streaks! It's no wonder though, it was pretty cheap!I love these. I had been using colorful resin ones that came with animal shaped handles. Super cute. But the metal piece would come off and you could put it back but it would get like filmy under it. It would come loose and was just annoying. I replaced it w/ another rubber one and that one, water didnt run thru well. These are great, colorful, all resin, no metal to rust or separate from the strainer, water runs thru well, holes are small enough though to stop items. And they come in a few colors, they look good, the darker inside also will be nice to prevent discoloration. I wish they'd add a few more colors and maybe knock a dollor or two off the price. But still worth the cost. I use these b/c my cat knocks stuff in the garbage disposal. I try not to leave anything out, but inevitably he will find something to drop in the sink This prevents it getting chopped up or the disposal breaking. LOL Do they make these in small tub size? Id love one for my tub drain too! ;-0I was looking for a strainer to keep flatware from falling down the garbage disposal. This strainer is perfect and washes easily. I also love the cherry color. It is a very nice addition to my sink.I love that when I dump the gunk...it comes right out in a light tap or two. Not like the wire strainers. This is silicone and rubber, I believe. Best strainer/drainer out there.
