"Like battling an octopus" star star star_border star_border star_border Unfortunately I found that the legs are almost impossible to clip together and had to deal with a collapse when full of fruit and needed moving.The bag itself did the job and held the 2kg of fruit pulp. Not your most robust product, I will be returning it. support_agent A note from the team We’re sorry this proved difficult to use, but we’re glad we’ve now been able to refund you for this.
"Nice idea but not worth the money" star star star_border star_border star_border I don't know what's harder to assemble; this item of an old-fashioned deckchair! You just get one joint in place and another pops out again. Very frustrating. The secret is to press hard on the joint but fear it won't last long. The price is steep for 3 pieces of plastic and a jelly bag. Not the best buy from Lakeland that I've ever made. support_agent A note from the team “Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear you’ve struggled to assemble the strainer. If you’re not fully satisfied you’re covered by our three year guarantee and it can be returned back to store for a refund.”
"Make Your Own!" star star star star_border star_border The jelly bag is quite useful as it washes easily, unlike the cloth bag, I have used previously. but I am not sure it would accommodate 2kg of fruit. However the stand is flimsy, and I can't seem to find a way of adjusting it to stick a decent sized bowl under it. The plastic lugs won't last long, in my humble opinion, as they don't clip together very well. All in all, I can see myself going back to the upturned stool or dangling my old jelly back from a wheeled clothes rail. support_agent A note from the team Thanks for your feedback. we'll make sure that your comments are passed on We want you to enjoy shopping at Lakeland, which is why, in addition to your statutory rights, we offer a 3-year guarantee on every product, so you can shop with complete confidence.

"Brilliant" star star star star star At first use you think it is clumsy because of the bulk - but we have used the same two for years and they are brilliant. They do not collapse under the weight of the fruit you are straining, the bags are easily removed, the bags also have stood the test of time. We needed a third for our household to accommodate more production. Bravo!
"Just the Jelly" star star star star star My old fashioned jelly bag gave up the ghost after many many years of service. I was concerned over the fact that the bag was nylon and wouldn't give me a clear liquid. I am very pleased with the result. The bag took a full 6 lb of apples after boiling in 3 pints of water. The stand is sturdy and held the bag full of pulp. It was a bit fiddly putting the stand together but I will master it next time. Apple Jelly made the next day and it's nice and clear. The bag stayed nice and white after washing. Definitely worth the little bit of extra money, compared with others on the market. 5 stars !!
