Is the Quick Stir Pitcher's new design better than the old one?

[MomToEli]

Can someone tell me the difference between the discontinued Family Sized QSP and the current one?

Thanks so very much!

The new 1 is all clear, also its ergonomicly (sp?) designed.....HTH

It helps a lot Ginger - I'm taking my old one to a bridal shower show to use and need to be able to explain this.

Ergonomic in what way? Different handle or shape?

The only difference I think is the handle is more ergonomical. They are both clear. The older cover is not clear.

Different shaped handle....also the old 1 alot of people said they would sometimes get stained....

 

[MomToEli]

Ah - so the new plungers and lids are clear, too?

Yes, the old one will stain.

 

[Ginger428]

Yep....the whole thing is clear

Sandy... The new FSQSP is soooo much better! The line I use the most is that with the new ergonamically (sp?) designed handle I can pick up a full pitcher with one hand. I can not do that with the old one! Like others said the whole thig is now made of the clear acrylic.

The new one has a cuter polka dot design on it, instead of the squares. It's not the first thing to jump out a people, but I like these better. And because the whole thing is clear (and it seems like a different/better grade of plastic too), it looks "cleaner." Hope that helps! You can promote that the polka dots sort of match the new "dots" SA design.

I also tell people that the newer, updated clear design is more stylish and can be used for virtually any casual entertaining event. The old one with the white interior wasn't as attractive.

I have a customer that purchased the Quick Stir Pitcher a couple of years ago and just recently broke the lid. Do we have replacements for that?

Also, I heard the old QSP's had a problem w/the bottom of the plunger coming off.

I have 2 QSPs and 1 Family QSP sitting here for customer product adjustments. One broke the other two are so deformed the lids won't even close. Anyone else having this problem

One of my plungers is "curved" so when you stir it you have to pull up and to the left. I bet I look pretty strange stirring drinks at parties... that is the only problem I have had with mine, and I am sure it happened in the dishwasher.

My newer Family Size QSP lid has warped from the dishwasher and it doesn't fit like it should but it still works. I like the look of the newer one better but my older lid is holding up much better. I also had a customer get hers replaced for the same issue with the lid.

I just had a past host email me today to let me know that her QSP is warped and doesn't fit right - and she knows it has never been near the heating element in the dishwasher......

Sure it's never been "near" the heating element. I would believe it better if she said "It's never been on the bottom rack of my dishwasher." I've always placed my pitcher on the bottome and the lid on the top. Never had any problems. I wash with the "economy" cycle, though. It still sanitizes, though.

Some dishwashers have upper heating elements, too, so there's noplace that's not near an element.

Also, I heard the old QSP's had a problem w/the bottom of the plunger coming off.

Before I became a consultant I had the QSP. I hated it! Like you said the plunger kept coming off. It drove me crazy. I actually sold it at a yard sale for nearly nothing. I didn't know about warranties. Once I became a consultant I got another one. I was afraid to use it. Now I love it. I do have both designs but I still use the old one.
