Dellonda Large Rotary Garden Sieve Blue Steel - DG261

The item was boxed well and simple assembly instructions were provided. The item was easy to assemble and has a solid feel to it. Overall, it is very good quality. Using it was very simple and I found it to be a very effective method of producing fine soil / compost free of stones, pebbles, roots and other detritus. It is not especially fast but still quicker and easier than using a hand sieve. It also avoids the back-breaking effort otherwise required. It is definitely value for money and I hope it provides many years of use.

Works well. The plastic knob tends to unwind if turning the wrong way but just need to screw back in. The nut of the bolt holding handle to bar can loosen a locking nut would have been better.

Tried sifting soil in our new Veggie patch and was killing myself with a normal styled sifted and thought sod it, I'll give this a go. Honestly this is the best money I've spent all year! Nice and easy to assemble, reasonable build quality. Its a good size and can be loaded up with a good couple of spade fulls of dirt. It functions really well, it still needs some input, but nothing like doing it the old fashioned way. Where the main body and legs of it are good and sturdy it's not the lightest thing in the world, but is really easy to carry around. If my ever breaks, which I really doubt it ever will, I'll be ordering a new one straight away, and have encouraged friends and family to buy them too.

This looked the better sieve from the others on sale at the time. Very easy to assemble and well built. I find it very easy to use and it works easily and well.

Sieve kept blocking , had to keep vigorously shaking it , wouldn’t need to do arms at the gym for a week , plus side good grading for fine soil

Good bit of kit. 15 minutes to put together. Does the job of sieving a lot easier than conventional methods. I sieved the mound of soil in the photo in about 90 minutes. The ‘basket’ takes between 2 and 3 shovel fulls of soil at a time and only takes a couple of minutes to sieve. Soil needs to be dry. It’s quite low to the ground so I actually sat on a chair when winding the handle. Make sure to wind counterclockwise otherwise the knob will wind off. Wear gloves to avoid blisters on your hand. If I had a complaint It would be that I wish it was bigger, but you can’t have everything. All in all a good purchase.

Great device for sieving those lumpy bags of compost use the finely sieved compost for the seed trays and the larger pieces for either a drainage layer in pots/containers or placing around the runner beans etc for mulch or just put in your compost bin , reason not a fifth star as the plastic knob on the handle tends to come loose after a while turning so will glue it on

Needed something to sift the gravel from my garden. This has been used all summer long and has stood the test. The only drawback was that the screws holding it together worked loose, luckily I had screws to replace them with. Overall impressed with the item, works well and good value.
