Spring Chef Dough Blender, Top Professional Pastry Cutter with Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Blades, Medium Size, Black

This is tough! A workhorse. I use it for pie dough. It is sharp and works through the dough quickly! I want the butter very cold and others can’t get through. This just plows through! Great value! I gave my daughters each one for stockings.

Really impressed with this one — the handle feels sturdy and comfortable, and the blades cut through cold butter super easily. It makes dough come together faster without melting the butter in your hands. Easy to clean, no bending, and feels nice and solid. Perfect for pies, biscuits, and crumbles

This is super sturdy metal!! This will be the ONLY one I will ever have to buy because it is quality materials, and I know it will never bend, or break. If you’re looking for amazing quality with a good price point, this is it!

Works fine and appears to be well made. Handle is not comfortable and overall it’s a little too big for typical home kitchen use. The other size is too small. I have big hands and it’s not efficient for blending the dough because of the size. I don’t know if dough blenders come in standard sizes but one right in the middle would probably be perfect.

It was perfect. Nice and steady and felt comfortable in the hand

Good quality and should do the job as intended although I haven't used it yet.

I purchased this Spring Chef dough blender to replace an old hoop one for one specific purpose: making biscuits from scratch. Trying to blend partially frozen cubes of butter with flour using my old hoop dough blender was an experience in frustration as the metal loops would separate. Not so with this Spring Chef blender. The thing is built like a tank with a very solid feel to it. The blades of the blender are not sharp, but they are designed such that they easily cut into frozen butter and blend well without bending a bit. The handle has a cushioned feel to it, which is also a big improvement over my old tool that had a wooden handle. My only complaint is the handle on this blender is a little small for my adult male hand. It would have been perfect if the handle was about a half inch longer. Even still, it is a marked improvement over my old dough blender, and I highly recommend it. Spring Chef does sell a larger model, which I did not know when I purchased this medium size one, so if you have large hands you may want to look at their larger model which is available on the Spring Chef web site if Amazon doesn't have it. Now a word about customer service. After I purchased my dough blender I got an email from one of the co-founders at Spring Chef asking how I liked it. I wrote back pretty much what I said in my initial review above. I did not ask for anything and simply offered my opinion about the product. He immediately sent me an email back stating he would send me the larger blender, which he did. He wanted to make sure I was 100% satisfied with my purchase. Now you just cannot beat that level of customer service, and that is precisely why I ended up buying a new Spring Chef box grater shortly afterward and will check Spring Chef before I buy any other items for cooking. So here is the comparison of the two dough blenders. Dimensionally, the medium dough blender measures approximately 4-1/2 inches from the back of the handle to the furthest tip of the blade; the large dough blender measures 5-1/4 inches in the same dimension. The length of the handle on the medium blender measures approximately 3-1/8 inches in length across the outside (3 inches in length inside the handle); the larger blender handle measures 4-3/4 inches across the outside (4-3/8 inches inside the handle). So the larger blender not only has a larger handle, which makes for a far more comfortable grip in my situation, but it also is larger in blade size, too. I have posted pictures to compare the two side by side (that’s not rust on the blades, it is reflection of our pot rack from above). In summary, both the medium and large Spring Chef dough blenders are built very solidly and work extremely well. If you have smaller hands, or need to blend dough in a small bowl, the medium sized blender may work well for you. But I suspect most people will find the large dough blender to be more comfortable to use, especially if you have large hands. Regardless of which one you buy, you can rest assured Spring Chef stands behind the quality of their products and wants you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase.

Solidly made. I'm hoping this will be the last one of these that I need to buy. Previous, non-stainless versions had devolved into bent tines and peeling chrome. Note: I have small hands and I bought the small size, it fits just right. If you have medium to large hands, go bigger. I love the softness of the grip. 4 pie doughs done, 4 trips through the dishwasher, all A-OK so far.

Very useful when I bake banana bread.

The pastry blender works very well and has a comfortable, secure grip. It feels very sturdy and well-made. The quality was exactly as described, and I am very happy with this purchase.

Quality of this blender seems sturdy. Yet to try it out.

Really pleased someone recommended this, so useful for anyone with arthritic hands

Generally the built quality is okay except for the rough edges of the cutting blades
