Type of review

I like this design and it worked well the first two times. This Thanksgiving I poured warm (not hot) turkey liquid into the Swing-A-Way and within a minute the bottom red piece detached and the device poured out half the liquid before I could rescue it. Very poor build quality.

Pros
  • understandable even for the old ones
Cons
  • There are nuances

This product fell apart after a single use

I used this product for the first time the other day. I was excited to use the product based on YouTube reviews etc. While holding the pen it broke in two places. Simply separate the upper and lower parts of the handle from the device. Of course, returning goods is now impossible. I'd love to hear an explanation from whoever built this thing.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • There are defects

ATTENTION TO THE BUYER! WITHOUT QUALITY CONTROL!

Ordered two. Both came with cracks and a broken bottom latch. Judging by the low ratings, this is a constant complaint. My fault is that I didn't read the low reviews first. These grease separators arrived in undamaged packaging. Obviously, Swing-A-Way has poor quality control, if any at all! I will definitely think twice before buying any Swing-A-Way product again! Revain has been great about returns and refunds!

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • No paint required

Bought June 2011, broke 30th September

I bought based on good reviews. Last night I put on the liquid from cooking the pork well after it came to room temperature. I left it for half an hour and when I came back I found half had run out. The part blocking the liquid pushed through the plug part and separated it from the bottom. Article has been used 4 times since June. It was a big mess that needed cleaning up and is now useless and thrown in the trash. I would never buy it again. Like many others, you want to put the zero.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • No insurance

Broke right out of the box

This thing broke the first time I pulled the handle. I'm not sure if I just snapped the one or what, but the part holding the connector to the bottom broke immediately. It is itself part of the plastic cup and molded as part of it, so the plastic itself has failed. I literally couldn't find a replacement in the store, and I needed it for Thanksgiving the next day, so I glued the part back on, clamped it overnight, and then it worked as advertised. I'm sure this is a great product if you don't…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Update available

Excellent, but a fatal flaw.

Measuring cup is great for separating fat from other liquids. I love him for that. But the top of the filter is very snug on mine, making it difficult to remove once it's in place. Now imagine that while working in the kitchen everything got a little greasy and you try to remove the lid to pour out the grease. And what happened to me, when I finally opened the lid, the measuring cup flew out of my hand and I had 1 cup of turkey fat on the kitchen floor and in the cupboards. It was a huge mess…

Pros
  • Useful for more than its intended purpose
Cons
  • Modern
