Customer Reviews

I love my Zyliss spinner, but...
I've had my Zyliss salad spinner for a few years, and now I'm replacing it. And it's for the dumbest reason, too! Most of the unit is lasting fine. I use it at least 4-5 times per week, and I fill it pretty much every time. However, I must not be gentle enough with it. The spinning action is transmitted to the basket by 6 little plastic tabs on the edges of the lid mechanism. One by one, those tabs have broken off, and now the mechanism no longer fully engages with the basket. I can still get it to spin up if I pull and pull and pull; the basket spins slowly, then faster, and then finally catches up with the lid mechanism and responds fully to my pulling. So it's still usable; just not very practical. I wish I could fix the little tabs instead of replacing the whole thing, but I guess at least I will have an extra basket and bowl if I ever want to do two batches of something without emptying the bowl.

Edit to add: I got my new spinner, and am pleased to note that the plastic tabs that I spoke of have been replaced with much sturdier ones -- instead of being one layer, they're now each a little square of plastic, which should be nearly impossible to break. I'm very happy with the new version, and would change my review to 5 stars if I could!

Love it
I use it on all my salads. I especially like it because I can rinse a pre-cut bag of greens in the strainer, which freshens it, then spin it and it comes out fresh as if I had just chopped it myself. Spinach, pre-cut cole slaw, iceberg, romaine, I've noticed it works tasty with it all. I'll throw in cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, cucumber slices, mushrooms and what not with iceberg lettuce, prep it with this product, then change my mind and saran wrap it for another day; the salad was still fresh two days later. Amazing salad spinner. I don't give pencil whipped reviews and if this salad spinner was crap, I would tell you. To be honest, I wish I'd bought one 10 years ago.

Make Quick Salads For Dinner
This handy device works well to dry lettuce quickly so that now if I decide I get home too tired too cook I can make salad fast. The puul cord makes this work fun too. The only draw back is cleaning the cover. Water gets trapped and takes a while to dry properly. Otehrwise a neat little gadget.
