Polder 6631-75 Review by Cool Breeze (California, USA)
This contraption is fine, works ok, as intended, a bit awkward to store and use -- the "legs" don't slide very easily. I just wish it were larger. I got it to replace a plastic colander/strainer that was large enough to cover most of one side of my sink. The only problem with it was that the holes in the bottom did not readily release the water because there was too much solid surface between them. I knew a wire-mesh surface would work better, and it does, but this basket covers only half of my sink space. Why on earth doesn't someone make a strainer that covers the whole space? A head of Romaine lettuce barely fits in this basket. We need an over-sink strainer that would hold a head of Romaine, PLUS a couple of bell peppers, a big stalk of broccoli, and an entire bunch of celery.
Polder 6631-75 Review by Andrew Cherry "Programmer, CG Artist" (Hampton Roads, VA, USA)
I bought this colander because I wanted one that would suspend itself across my sink. It does that very nicely.
I've only got a couple of minor complaints:
The interior ends of the arms tend to hit each other whenever the arms are pushed back into the strainer. Maybe the arms weren't intended to be flush with the sides when the thing's not in use, I dunno, but it bothers me that they seem to overlap by half an inch. No big deal.
The fine mesh (which was another reason why I picked this model) is so fine that it's a little bit hard to clean. When stuff gets in lodged in one of the holes, you're not going to be able to get your finger in there to get it out. You might be able to get a toothpick in there. I'm thinking I'll have to get a wire brush or something to clean it more quickly. Still, I'd rather have to work harder to clean this mesh than watch my spaghetti noodles slide out of larger holes.
It's big. Actually, that was yet another selling point for me, but it's so big that it's kind of hard to maneuver it under the faucet for cleaning.
Finally, my only real complaint with this thing: The band around the top traps food inside it. The band loops around the mesh to give it a finished edge, and it's open on the bottom so you'd think gravity might keep stuff out, but somehow food always manages to find its way in there.
The strainer is plenty big (could probably fit four pounds of pasta in there), the small mesh is wonderful, and the fact that I can leave it suspended over the sink makes working in the kitchen much easier. All in all it's a great product, I just wish it was a little easier to keep clean.

We bought this Feb. 2008 for $16 as part of the buy 3, get 1 free promo. This stainless steel strainer expands to hang from a tradtional dual split kitchen sink (for lack of a better description).
Our intent was to replace our plastic collander with stainless steel (getting rid of all plastics in the house due to "toxins"- just playing it safe). The bonus is that because it hangs from your sink, we now have extra space to put glasses to dry w/o dripping water onto countertops!
It's functional, attractive (if you care), and makes a great addition to any kitchen. You can get one for roughly the same price at Kohl's (maybe less, if on sale), however if you buy it w/ the Amazon promo. then it's a way better deal online. See my ordering tip below:
Ordering tip: if you're going to buy a bunch of items, split them in separate orders and put all the lower priced items together so you can get (at least) one of the more expensive items for free. By doing so, I got one $18 item free, instead of two $3.99 items free. Of course, just make sure both shipments are more than $25 for free S&H. I just made sure I bought some other needed items that weren't part of the promo! These 4-for-3 deals are AWESOME, especially when combined w/ FREE S&H and no sales tax! Way to go Amazon!
