What is the Flex Strainer 2-in-1 and how does it work?
The Flex Strainer is a dual-function kitchen sink tool that twists to switch between straining food debris and stopping water for hand-washing dishes. The 3-piece set includes 2 strainers plus 1 stopper, perfect for double sinks or as a backup replacement. Simply twist the flexible thermoplastic design to toggle between straining and stopping modes.
What makes the no center stem design special?
Unlike traditional strainers with a center post, the Flex Strainer's stemless design creates a deeper basket that catches significantly more food debris and requires less frequent emptying. The no-stem design is also garbage disposal-safe with no rigid metal parts that could damage disposal blades, and the 5.25-inch diameter covers unsightly drain flanges for a cleaner look.
What sink brands and drain sizes does this fit?
The Flex Strainer fits most standard 3.5-inch kitchen sink drains from brands like Kohler, Blanco, Elkay, Franke, Moen, Kraus, Ruvati, and American Standard. The flexible thermoplastic construction adapts to different drain shapes without scratching stainless steel, porcelain, or composite sinks, making it universally compatible with most kitchen sink configurations including garbage disposals.
How does this solve common sink strainer problems?
The Flex Strainer eliminates the need to swap between separate strainers and stoppers, saving time and drawer space. The deeper stemless basket catches more debris so you empty it less often, the flexible design won't scratch expensive sinks, and the BPA-free thermoplastic is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning unlike metal strainers that rust or tarnish.
Can I use this with my garbage disposal?
