Customer Reviews of Fit & Fresh Salad Shaker
Customer Review: Nice idea... but only got one use out of it!
Summary: 1 Stars
Loved the idea of this product... was hoping to find something to fix a nice sized salad with lean protein for my husband to take to work. I bought this at a local store, and took it home, quick hand-washed it and made a salad for hubby that night. Size was perfect.
He took it to work, told me the dispenser worked great and that he really enjoyed his very fresh and crisp salad! I am ecstatic!
However, I disassembled the dressing dispenser and put the salad shaker (minus icepack) in the top rack of the dishwasher as the instructions said that was safe.
Next day, unloaded the dishwasher and attempted to re-assemble the salad dispenser. GOOD GRIEF! You've gotta be Arnold Schwarzenegger to do it! The instructions clearly say you just screw it back in level with the lid, but try DOING that! It took all my strength and I still couldn't get it in quite the right position for the little compartment lid to lock down!
Worse, then, I couldn't get it undone. And messing with it actually physically HURT me, I developed a bad crick in my shoulder/neck and couldn't turn my head all day. That's how much force it took to reassemble this thing!
Hubby managed to undo it with a huge effort and several tries, but he could not get it to go back properly either. This thing is going to the animal shelter thrift shop, in hopes they can get money out of it for a good cause, but it ought to be going in the TRASH!
Nice idea, but obviously a poor design for the dressing dispenser.
This is a great pity, because I like their drink shaker bottles a LOT!
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: Works great, but you need more than one.
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this salad shaker. It holds plenty of salad. As a side item, in a plastic baggie, I put crackers or bread. It would be really neat if they had a compartment for that. I only gave it 4 stars because the spfork and knife that come with it are a little small. However they are made out of a stronger plastic than what usually comes in a picnic utensil pack. The dressing compartment holds the perfect amount of dressing for the size salad you can pack in there. And with everything except the ice pack being dishwasher-safe, it's pretty easy to clean. I need two or three of these things just to last me to my next wash cycle! Great product.Customer Review: Fit & Fresh Salad Shaker
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this container for taking salads to work, it really keeps the greens crisp, and because the dressing is in it's own container, you don't get to lunch and find wilted, soggy salad. It holds six cups and the first time I used it I put the salad in too tightly making in hard to dispense the dressing and shake up. You need to leave the salad loose enough to allow the dressing container to turn when you twist it to release the dressing. If you do, you will have a great salad for your lunch!!!!Customer Review: Salad shaker
Summary: 2 Stars
The amount of salad it holds is wonderful but the biggest problem that I had was turning the knob to open the salad dressing container! It was extremely difficult to turn and so I don't use it any longer. I would not recommend getting this salad shaker unless you have very, very, strong fingers - ok for most men, but not if you've got a weaker grip.
