When it arrived I thought to myself that the filter holes look a bit larger than expected.Upon first use the filter is only good for large particles.Grit and bits of things like floured coatings slipped through.I ended up using a couple layers of cheese cloth instead.
One other "nit" to pick.Because of the design, when inserted into a largish container openning, there is little to no room for air to escape so I had to lift the funnela little to let the air out.Laddling 4-5 liters of oil one handed was messy at best.
All in all my $2 large plastic funnel and cheese cloth performed better for my needs.

This works wonderfully as long as you slightly move your hand in the opposite direction of the blades rotation.This keeps it from splattering, which isa huge problem if you don't know about this little usage tip.
