Review on 🦩 Quirky and Functional: Fred Friends 5238831 Flamingo Tea Infuser by David Lambert

Revainrating 1 out of 5

DO NOT BUY THE DUCK, other shapes are fine

Edit: Legs broke off after falling about 3 feet. I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Original Rating: Terrible design. I used to have Fred brand tea infuser (I liked my silicone ManaTea tea) so I bought this duck without looking at duck reviews. I totally agree with the other reviewers - can't understand why they did this with flimsy clasps instead of a screw cap. The grooves in the plastic where the legs connect to the body collect debris and look awful. Usually, a tea strainer does not need to be cleaned after each use, but it does. The photo shows the condition after three uses with a good intermediate rinse. I confess that after three uses the bars hold me, so I still have a working strainer. But I really don't think I can use it for long. It looks amazing floating in the tee and if I thought it would even last me a year I would be fine. But I think I'll have to convert the plastic top into a fridge magnet or something pretty soon.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
