Customer Reviews of Fit & Fresh Salad Shaker
Customer Review: Eh. It's just okay.
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this because I liked the idea of not needing seperate containers for my dressing and salad. So I like that there's a dressing holder in the bowl. I also love the spork and knife in the top compartment. It's very handy! I'm notorious for forgetting my fork, or I end up with half a dozen in my desk drawer because I forget to take them home. I have not tried the ice pack because I have a fridge at work.
What I don't like is 1) the design of the dressing dispenser. It would work better with a plunger or something to push the dressing out. Cream dressings don't come out at all. I had to shake like a maniac, and still couldn't get quite a bit out. Oil based dressings poured out fine, but landed all over the lid because it doesn't really swing out. 2) The size and shape. I love that it holds lots of salad, but it's extra tall to accomodate the swing out lid which doesn't really swing out anyway. Also, to me the square shape of the bowl is akward. I guess I just prefer eating out of round ones.
Customer Review: Big salad, tiny spork
Summary: 4 Stars
First off: this is a really great container. There's plenty of room for a good-sized lunch salad; honestly, if you can't fit a full salad with all the goodies on top, then you probably need to double check your portion size. I actually have enough room left over to tuck a baggie of sugar snap peas on top for a snack. The ice pack works just like they claim, and it's still almost completely frozen by the time I eat lunch!
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the included spork is a bit of a joke. It's pretty small, but I guess you could rationalize that it makes you eat slower so you get full before you pig out. I've never worried about the utensils breaking, but I think they could've included one of the bigger folding forks like one of their other conatiners has. All that being said, the sporkette isn't enough of a problem for me to not love this container.
Customer Review: Moderately disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
At first, I was really impressed. I was able to turn the salad dressing container without any difficulty. However, the lid for the fork and knife on the lid of the container locks into the salad dressing container. Therefore, if the container is not at the perfect angle, the door for the flatware continually flops open. I have tried removing and reinserting the salad dressing container at different angles, but every time, I am only able to get it exactly 90 degrees from where it ought to be.
I still give it three stars despite this flaw because this door can easily be removed (as it doesn't serve much purpose anyway) and, while I don't use it for salads, it keeps things like, fruit, cheese and crackers cold for hours. The size is a little awkward for carrying back and forth to work, but in general, it serves all of my purposes.
Customer Review: Maybe I got a bad one, but...
Summary: 1 Stars
First off, I can't turn the little lid for the dressing. The idea is that you open the dressing, shake it all up, and then open the lid to a dressed salad. Unfortunately, my salad ends up dressed on one half, unless I take half a bowlful, which is not enough for my main meal of the day.The ice pack gets hopelessly coated with salad dressing, even when the greens don't. The plastic utensils broke on me within a week. When I finally applied all my hand strength to open the darn dressing cup, the blessed thing broke.
Nice idea, poor execution. There's got to be a better way. I'm very disappointed - looking at other reviews for Fit & Fresh products, I think I'll just steer clear of them. I'm back to Lock&Lock containers in a lunch cooler, or my Lock&Lock bento set.
Customer Review: Dressing leaks
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the 3rd time I've used this salad shaker. I love the idea, but this morning when I put dressing in the dressing compartment, it leaked all over the counter. (And yes, I double checked, it was closed and snapped in place correctly). I don't know if it's because I use a lot of vinegar w/ very little oil so it's not as thick as other dressings, but regardless, it was a mess I didn't want to clean up in the morning. And, I still used it today for lunch since I was in a hurry, and all but maybe 1/8 of dressing leaked into my salad, which made it soggy. So, a disappointment for sure, I'm going to attempt to return it. It would be great if the dressing just had a seperate compartment that completely closes and you could poor it in, then shake... Bummer.
