After binning it I fell into using two mashers which sound like a chore but really isn't, one course (crush) and one fine (mash) , the fine one is basically a flat plate with holes in it so it is in effect like a ricer but easier to use and clean.

You see these a lot, but they have always looked like they'd be hard on my delicate hands (I use Fairy), so I like the chunky Goodgrips sort.

Perhaps the ricer you had was on the small side, mine is no bother - probably three loads of potato to squish for a family meal. Saves all that mashing, plus I just rinse it under the tap as soon as I've used it and it's easy to wash later. That said it sounds like you've got a good system and I expect your mash is beautifully fluffy.
