What is the diameter of this strainer? I know someone posted the same question, but there are different answers. The item description says 3.5". Two people responded it is 3.25". Another said 3.5".

The diameter is 3.25. This seems to me to be a standard size since I replaced a rather old strainer with this new one. Work perfect.

The 5.2 x 2.9 x 0.2 is definitely garbage information. A round item is the same in two directions (diameter) and only different in the length! A non technical person posted the info and I wouldn't have a clue as to how they came up with their measurements. The 0.2 (.050 under 1/4") could be the thickness of the outer 'ring' but that dimension would be irrelevant to what is needed when purchasing.

It's 4". Sorry. I wasn't at home at the time and meant "at least 3 inches". Apologies for the confusion.

If you hook onto a bowl and measure the bowl rim to the end of the handle it is 16.5 inches. Any longer than that and it will fall into your bowl. The handle by itself is about 8 inches. The top rim of the strainer is 8.5 inches. From the top of the rim to the bottom of the strainer is 9.5 inches. I hope that helps.

Dear Happy reader, that is a good question. The lengths of the strainers given in the description excludes the lengths of the handle. The Diameters are given in the description, however the lengths of the handles are 6", 5.5" and 4.6" respectively from large to smallest. Hope this answers your question. If not, just let us know and we will elaborate further.

I THINK it's 5/8ths of an inch, but it may be 1/2 inch. I'm not home to measure. I DO know it's more than 3/8 inch. I really like mine!

It's sort of both. The 3.5" is the diameter of the basket that sits in it and then in narrows down to a 2" opening underneath where the basket sits. I know I'm not using the correct word for the "basket" but its that catch piece that prevents food from going down the drain.

It's 2 1/4". I don't know why people just guess when they don't know the answers. I'm returning the one I purchased that was too big.

It is between 3 1/4 and 3 1/2 inches in diameter. If you order, I hope they send you a real one, not a fake one like I received. The real one is good. The fake doesn't work. Good luck.

The strainer measures 5" in diameter. The mesh holes are larger on the outer rim, at approximately 1/4", but the inner holes are down to around 1/8". It is not heavy, but feels sturdy.

I bought this item in April. The opening is 3 1/2 inchs; the strainer basket is about 3 inchs. They fit together and we have been very happy with the assembly. We put it in a new sink which seems to have a standard opening. Best wishes, Elayne

Thank you for your question. The diameter of the largest strainer is 7-7/8-inch. I hope to have informed you sufficiently. Best wishes, All Times Finest

The strainer is 10 " across& close to 10" deep. Use it a lot, very nice and we are happy with it. Also pretty durable too.

I believe that is the length of the handle. Strainer is about four inches in diameter.

Just got this in the mail... outer diameter measures approx 3 1/4". The outer 3/8" is the flexible part. I tried to upload some pics but cant seem to figure out how.
