Pros & Cons
Pros
It's easy to take a part and clean and easy to reassemble. It feels solid and sturdy, i expect it to last. The fit and finish is exceptional as well.
Cons
The handle screws into a spring-loaded fairly heavy stainless disk which today suddenly disconnected. Inspection shows the hole drilled in the disk was too big.
