It's a good thing I got this as a gift. September 6, 2008
nsv (The Everglades)
I wanted a salad spinner and this one looked like a good one, but I never would have spent this much money on a salad spinner for myself. I figured for as often as I would probably use it, I should get a cheaper one.
A friend kept me from making that mistake. I've now had this salad spinner for a couple of years, and it turns out that this one is not only durable enough to survive my abuse, but I use it for just about every fruit and vegetable that comes into the house.
No, I don't spin a bag full of apples. But I do wash all my produce when I bring it home. (That way, if I'm trying to decide between a peach and a bag of potato chips, I can't use the excuse that I don't feel like washing the peach.) Apples, peaches, plums, pears, and so on all get loaded into the salad spinner. I fill it with water and a splash of vinegar. (That seams to get the produce clean faster than plain water alone.) I use the inner basket to swish everything around, then pull it out and dump the water, and rinse everything in the basket. A quick shake, then I leave the basket in the dish rack for an hour or two. The produce dries and gets put into the produce bin in the fridge. Repeat with grapes, cherries, strawberries... all the smaller, more fragile fruits. I even spin those gently, and they dry more quickly.
Veggies get the same treatment. While the fruits are drying in the basket I'm cutting up broccoli, cauliflower, and whatever other vegetables I've gotten. They get washed, rinsed, spun a bit, and stored in a plastic bag with a paper towel to absorb what little moisture remains.
At the end of the day when I'm tired and I want to eat NOW and I've thrown burgers on the grill, it's a lot easier to throw some veggies on the grill too when they're already washed and cut up. If I could just figure out a way to use this for mushrooms, I'd be all set.
And yes, I do use this for salad. Just about everything that's going into the salad goes in the spinner to be washed, rinsed, and spun. And I use less salad dressing because it sticks to dry lettuce leaves better and doesn't get diluted from the water on the leaves.
If I had gotten myself a cheap, flimsy salad spinner I would probably never use it. This is stored on top of the refrigerator. I keep it handy because I use it all the time.
Best Ever August 31, 2008

This is terrific. It works like a charm and keeps lettuce fresh for much longer than any other storage I've found.
Having said that, I have the benefit of an extra refrigerator. It takes up quite a bit of space in the fridge.
USEFUL, well-designed August 31, 2008
M. Iosupovici (Imperial Beach, CA)
Well-manufactured, excellent design, useful salad spinner has been utilized since I unpacked the box. Highly recommend.

I was very disappointed in this item. My daughter has one and loves it but the one I received did not work and I had to send it back.

Love this product. It is so easy to spin and dry salad greens with one push of the button, it makes making a fresh salad a joy.
