I bought this for use with my beautiful new Le Creuset stockpot, so as not to scratch the enamel interior. It's got a lovely, solid feel to it, and it's easy to wash because it's completely coated in silicone. I'm very pleased! Oh, and it's lovely to finally have kitchen pots, pans and utensils that match after years of hand-me-downs and cheap kitchenware; I love Le Creuset's colors.
A nice medium size whisk that's ideal for using with non stick cookware or any other vessel that you don't want to leave scratch marks in, such as enameled cookware. The large diameter handle makes it easy to get a good grip. Easy to clean. This doesn't replace my larger metal whisk but it has it uses.
I've looked "everywhere" for a whisk that would not scratch my tin-lined copper risotto pan that I use for everything except risotto. This is it! The color is a big bonus.
mixes well and like the fact that it is rubber instead of metal

I love this whisk. It never can flake off metal into our foods now. Thanks for designing this item. I will be buying more later. I do not want to be without this item ever again. I so love it.

Think about the size

Everything in the Product Description is accurate. Two things that were not mentioned were the length of the whisk and the weight of the handle. The Balloon was obviously made for a man's hand and though is does what it's supposed to do, a smaller version would work better for me. The handle is so heavy that it flips out of all but the heaviest mixing bowls. I love the silicone coating and the shape, but would prefer a smaller version.

This whisk is definitely worth the price. Its safe for nonstick cookware, extremely sturdy and has lots of tines so less food gets caught inside when using for thicker foods. I got the cobalt blue one and it is a really pretty vibrant blue that coordinates well in my kitchen which is an added bonus. I use it almost daily so it has been run through the dishwasher many times with absolutely no adverse affect. I can see this whisk lasting at least 5 - 10 years.

The Best Wisk

In addition to all the superlatives from other reviewers, I'll add that this wisk has a generous number of wire "hoops". So many other wisks (even good ones) that you find seem to be short a few, which makes a big difference in the wisk's effectiveness. I've never found another wisk that can equal this one.
Finally, a whisk that won't leave marks on the inside of my enameled pans!!! This is a great whisk. It feels good in your hand and is very hygenic. The silicone coating makes it a breeze to clean.
Granted, this is not a cheap product, but the qulity is there to back it up. This is a great whisk for any medium sized job. Balanced like a good chef knife and the silicon coat will keep it as good as new for years.
