What reviewers say

America’s Test Kitchen picked it as its winning salad spinner because it pulled more water from greens than any other model in its test, while noting the center stem takes up some basket space and can bruise tender greens if you overfill it. Food Network chose it as best overall for its light weight, large capacity and easy cleanup, though its testers worried the thinner plastic parts could crack over time.
