Fred DEEP DIVER Silicone Infuser Reviews Summary

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "Super cute idea."
• "This little guy was a gift for my brother, who loves tea."
• "This little guy is a nice ice breaker as everyone notices and gets a little chuckle."
• "Straight up, this is the cutest thing ever."
• "The shape of the diver is really detailed and good quality, the mold of the diver itself is really sturdy and the clear face plate vs the smoky bodysuit is well done and very cute."
• "Fred is super cute and gets the job done."
• "This tea infuser is a cute addition to your favorite mug."

Cons:

• "It's a little challenging to get all the (after brewed) leaf out for reuse, which got annoying quick."
• "As cute as he is, it is tough to get the tea out of his helmet when done with it."
• "The only thing that seems a little iffy is that the closure on the bottom just doesn't seem sturdy."
• "Such a cute little guy but really useless."
• "The main problem I have with this is that it is difficult to empty after use. The hinged lid is at the bottom of the diver and after the tea leaves expand you almost have to use a pick to get them out easily."
• "The biggest problem I have with it is that it does not dive at all. It just floats at the top."
• "The problem is it's not very functional."

Functionality and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "Fits the right amount of tea and works like a charm."
• "He is easy to clean and he loves to dive deep to make sure the tea is perfect."
• "The product looks great and works exactly as intended; I would gladly order from this seller again in the future."
• "Makes tea effectively, and easy to clean."
• "Absolutely love it. I use it for loose leaf tea in my water bottle, so it is fully submerged for hours at a time and stays closed and does its job!"
• "This little sea diver is so much fun. It holds in the tea leaves and is easy to clean."
• "Gift for my girlfriend and she loves it. Actually works pretty well for tea also (nice small holes)."

Cons:

• "It's very nearly impossible to clean, there are few holes so it doesn't steep well, and it doesn't even hold enough whole loose leaf tea for a proper cup."
• "The holes are too big for certain teas. I drink various teas and i have realized that some of the small leaves aren't able to be contained inside the diver."
• "It turns out it is kind of hard to clean out easily without a spoon handle or something else."
• "It's not as easy to clean as it is to fill up."
• "I've had mine for a few months now. It works but shortly after opening it his little belt fell off and he's starting to discolor."
• "The silicone cord that connects from the helmet to the dive tank is thin so I worry about it breaking over time but as of now it's still in good condition."
• "The infuser does work but you do need to allow some time for the tea to steep which I would do anyway."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "The silicon is pretty durable and easy to wash."
• "The silicone material is resistent to heat and holds its structure well."
• "The product appears exactly as pictured, it's cute and well made."
• "Soft and easy to clean."
• "The Package was very cute (in a transparent plastic box with description on it)."
• "This tea strainer is adorable! It's all silicone and has a metal ring near the bottom."
• "I loved the smaller size so he could take it to work."

Cons:

• "I've had mine for a few months now. It works but shortly after opening it his little belt fell off and he's starting to discolor."
• "The little scuba tank ripped off after a day."
• "The first time that I used this, the metal ring around the bottom fell off, and has fall off several times sense."
• "The round orange rubber ring on the bottom of the diver wants to slip off - it doesn't seem essential to its operation, but it might bug you if it gets lost."
• "The metal ring around the base of mine came off immediately and can't find it now."
• "The plastic does stain easily and is a bit hard to clean."
• "Metal doohickey on the end of your infuser prevents you from warming tea in the microwave."

• "Got this for my boyfriend for Christmas and we both love it! It only takes about a tsp of tea with enough room to expand, which seems to be plenty."

Cons:

• "It's cute and all but it's way too expensive and the material gets stained very easily."
• "Don't waste your money here, even if it is cheap."
• "It was kind of expensive but it was so cute I had to get it."
• "So cheap. So not worth it."
• "It's junk... It's cute, but that's all it has going for it.."
