Rating: - Perhaps the best invention since bagged salads
I can't believe I ever lived without this salad spinner. The pump design is flawless - three or four pumps and you can leave your produce to spin dry. The bowl is perfectly balanced; those couple of pumps allow it to spin almost five minutes if the inside sieve is not completely filled. And, best of all, the whole unit stores very easily with the other plastic bowls and whatnots. I used this to clean organic spinach the other day. It you are a fan of such, you have most likely encountered grit in even the best hand-washed variety. Not with the salad spinner! Furthermore, the leaves stay crisp and fresh. I've also used this with leeks and mushrooms and other hard to clean produce. You won't believe how much better and fresher your food will taste.

My greatest "pet peeve" when preparing salads is WET soggy lettuce. A couple of spins of my OXO Good Grips salad spinner has removed this nuisance from my life. So much water is removed with this nifty gadget, that I'm able to put the cleaned (dry!) lettuce into a crisper, where it keeps for several days without moisture to bring it to an early decay.

If it seems like one of those kitchen gadgets you'd marvel over and then place in a cabinet, never to be seen again.. it'd not. If you do enjoy fresh salads, greens or herbs, I promise you will use this tool frequently. I've found it very helpful when cooking with herbs, as I'm able to "spin" more of the water from them after washing (there is a separate "herb spinner", but I found it difficult to justify adding more items to my over-stuffed kitchen).

Before buying, I compared models carefully, and even today, this still seems to offer the most "bang" for the buck. Buy; you won't be sorry.

My hand-crank spinner works better than this one. This one however looks better.
