I bought one of these 3 yrs ago when my first son was small. This one had a stainless steel blade and strainer. It worked great! Easy to use, disassemble, wash. Then, I lost it and had to get another. The current plastic strainer is VERY difficult to take off of the base, it doesn't grind food well unless it's very soft and it's hard to clean. Overall, the product has gone way downhill as far as quality and ease of use. If the stainless blade were to return, I'd give it 5 stars.
