This seemed like a great quality item.  Its not.  Within the first week, the plastic peices within the hopper cracked, just plain broke, or splintered.  The clear plastic peices cant even handle falling out of a dish drain onto the counter without cracking and breaking.  The choice of plastic is wrong.  It cant handle mild everyday use.  Most disappointing.  Now its completely broken and unusable.  Do.  Not.  Buy.  This.  Item.
