is the handle one piece? I hate handles that have a connection because the seam gets dirty and sometimes lets water in...

One piece from rim of ladle cup to 5" up the handle. Then a 1/16" metal ring which appears to lock the handle (last 5") to the rest of the piece. This last 5" is somewhat softer, more cushiony. My guess is that it fits around a shaft inside the molded section and clamps it together. I've had no problems.

I know what you mean. There is a connection about 2/3 down from the cup, but it has a metal ring tightly embedded in it and so far it functions seamlessly.

Where the metal part is its hard to tell if it's 2 pieces but I've had it for months and we have really hard water.. it's never shifted or have gotten nasty.. I love these and I know what you mean cause some of my cheaper ones get gunk where the grip is

The one we installed has two handles and one sprayer. In addition, I have a dishwasher installed and thought it would have to be disconnected to utilize the sprayer but that was not the case. I love it.

There is a handle but it has a tendency to come off if the liner is full. It snaps back on easily enough. As long as I'm careful, there's no problem but I can't swing it along like a bucket as I walk. The handle can get in the way when I'm emptying also.

It does appear that the head and handle are separate pieces. I'm hoping that since OXO is a reputable brand that I won't have the problem with them separating later. I hope not anyway!

No, it is a single piece, no seams. Being stainless it is easy to clean as well, I never use bags.

I've had no problem with the handle, or with the entire brush. Will order another one I need the next one.

The handle itself is plastic but it is attached to a metal brace that is also the clamp with a non-slip pad. After fives years it's never worked itself loose when the surface is cleaned and properly dry

It's pressure fit, and held quite snugly. You could release it for replacement by unscrewing the metal part from the handle, but one hopes that will never be necessary. It is easily cleaned without the need to remove it.

The handle was already attached when we received our's. Either they have changed their assembly process or you received one that is not fully assembled or is defective.

No, the handle dies not come off. It does work extremely well. No more splattered wave to clean.

I see your problem! I had to read the instructions. On the bottom there is a wavy piece of plastic, wavy for water, but it also makes a nice handle. Turn it counter-clockwise to open, remove, fill, turn clockwise to close. Easy, yes, once you know how!

Georgia G to answer your question, no my handle didn't come unattached, it was shipped in one piece no assembly required. Just like the picture of the pan. Also it works great. Barry

I successfully separated the handle from the cup but now I cannot put it back together, rendering it basically useless. It seemed like it should be able to snap apart and snap back. Honestly, I even tried HAMMERING it back to snap back, to no avail. I would not recommend separating the cup and handle for cleaning.

No, it is all sewed together as one piece. I have used this for over a year with great results. It stands on its own. The handles make it easy to take from the staging area in my kitchen to the larger recycle bins in my basement. I recommend it highly.

Its solid one piece with string tied around the handle. I am happy with mine

The handle is not permanently attached because it's a tiny bit loose. But putting in another handle would, to me, be a major engineering project (I'm not very handy with tools). The original handle appears to have been inserted into the metal sleeve attached to the "paddle" and then something punched three "dents" into the sleeve on the top and bottom and where the "dents" went into the wooden handle is what holds it on. There are no screws. If you drilled holes in the sleeve where the "dents" are the handle would probably come out and you could put screws into the holes to hold the longer handle on. I wouldn't attempt this myself but I can see how it could be done. However, I wonder if it would be worth the effort. Plus you might have to size a new handle to fit into the sleeve. Sorry this isn't too clear.

Hi, Steve here over at Aqua Products. This unit does have two small handles on the bottom sides of the unit that should be used when pulling the unit from the pool surface. Hope this helps
