Westinghouse WST2002 SaladXPress Salad Spinner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The spin speed is much less than that achieved with our previous hand crank salad spinner. It does not spin fast enough to remove excess water from lettuce. After a short time, the SaladXPress became appreciably slower. Under the terms of the warranty, it was replaced with what appears to be a new unit. The new one isn't any better than the first. We've given up on the SaladXPress and purchased an OXO SoftWorks hand powered salad spinner.

Think of it as a hybrid food processor/salad spinner. The 400 watt motor can grate or slice fruits and vegetables as well as spin them dry after rinsing. It can also grate and spin cheese, meats and more. With storage space always at a premium, it's the multi-function appliances that win the day.

Chef-Master Commercial 5-Gallon Salad Dryer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Big...5 gal. that spins lots of lettuce and looks like it has been upgraded in function so we feel comfortable with the thought it will be around a long time for use at the camp.

The ChefMaster commercial 5-gallon salad dryer will dry 5 to 6 heads of lettuce at a time. This unit keeps the lettuce crisp for longer life and better taste. The most expensive part of any salad is the dressing. Dry lettuce allows the user to use about 1/2 the dressing that would be needed on wet lettuce. This salad dryer comes with handles on the side for easy movement, a direct drive system for the drying basket and sealed gears so food cannot lodge into the gears. But what makes this unit stand out in the commercial field besides its heavy duty FDA approved plastic construction, is its patented braking system. When spinning the basket with the lettuce, the users would use the handle to stop the basket. This put a tremendous strain on the gears which would finally break. With the ChefMaster braking system, a simple push of a button pushes down the brake and stops the basket from spinning with no strain on the gears. Because of our design of sealed gears, we are one on only two salad dryers that has received the ETL certification to ANSI/NSF Standard 2 for foodservice and the only one to have the patented braking system.

Zyliss Fresh Cut Salad Knife, Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good, inexpensive and versatile knife that can be used as a spreader and server. I stumbled upon it when I needed an inexpensive item to meet the free shipping requirement.
It's good for cutting soft & leafy vegetables (lettuce, tomato), things that can be cut with sawing motion. It will not cut hard vegetable (carrot) that requires chopping motion.
It's particularly handy for making sandwiches. I can use it to spread the condiment, then slice the tomato or sweet pepper, and cut the sandwich in half at the end with just one knife. It's also great for cake, breads, brownies, etc.
It washes well in the dishwasher. A great buy overall!

KitchenAid Red Salad and Fruit Spinner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry". I love to cook and I prepare three meals a day most days of the month.
My husband and I embarked on a mostly vegan lifestyle about 3 months ago and I decided that I needed a larger salad spinner. I purchased this salad spinner to replace a smaller one that is battery operated that I have been using for at least 15 years.
Pros:
1.The rubber bottom on this spinner keeps it in place on the counter while you are using it. This is a big improvement over the standard spinners.
2.The large capacity is also very nice if you eat a lot of vegetation.
3.The pump is easy to use provided that you remember not to push all the way to the bottom of the stroke with causes it to lock. This takes a little getting used to, but you will get the hang of it eventually.
4.The pump mechanism should be less susceptible to breakage than the string models. I have heard from others that the pull mechanism is prone to breakage on the pull models.
5.It removes as much water from the produce as my battery operated salad spinner.
Cons:
1.I can't remove the center stem on the basket no matter what I try. I think that this is a design flaw.
2.The spinner is a little awkward to clean with the center stem in place.
Overall, I think this product is middle of the road, not great but not terrible either. I like having the extra capacity, but I would be much happier if I could get the stem out of the basket to facilitate cleaning the thing.

Oxo SteeL Salad Spinner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We had an older, plastic OXO salad spinner for many years and it worked great and was built with a very durable spinner mechanism. We "upgraded" to this version when we dropped our old one and cracked the bowl. Unfortunately we have had the same experience as several other reviewers here - the spinner mechanism broke after only a few uses. It seems that if the inner basket has any significant amount of weight (from wet greens) in it and you press firmly on the spinner mechanism there is some plastic part that snaps inside the mechanism (at least that is how it sounded when it happened).
To OXO's great credit, however, their customer service has been fantastic so far in getting us setup for a refund (not a replacement - we would just break it again I'm sure).

The OXO SteeL Salad Spinner combines the ultimate function of our patented pump and brake with the elegance of a stainless steel serving bowl. Simply press the soft pump to start the basket spinning. Press the brake button and the basket comes to a stop for easy unloading. A clear lid lets you peek inside while you spin your salad, and the lid comes apart for easy cleaning. A non-slip base keeps the elegant stainless steel bowl steady on the countertop and the basket and bowl can be used separately. Bowl capacity is 6.34 quarts; basket capacity is 4.95 quarts.

Zyliss Easy Spin 4-6 Serving Salad Spinner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!

Zyliss Easy Spin Salad Spinner 4-6 Servings, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my favorite salad spinner, and I've tried several over the last couple years. It dries my lettuce very well, and has some useful features that I haven't seen in other spinners.
Like the old Zyliss spinner, you pull on a handle to spin the basket. But with this one the more you pull, the faster it spins, kind of like revving up a top or something. It spins much faster than those 'crank' spinners or the 'push down' type -and faster spinning means more water off your veggies.
As for the new features, here are my top five:
1) The lid is clear, so you can see the veggies spinning around in there and make sure you're not overfilling the spinner, the lettuce isnt bunching up in one corner, etc. OK, it's also just mesmerizing to watch your food spin round and round. Kind of like watching your clothes roll around in the dryer.
2) There is a brake! So after you've whipped your veggies into a frenzy, you can slam them to a stop -which also helps get more water off. This works better on the small sized spinner, since there is less weight to stop, but even on the big spinner it works very well. I have seen a brake on another spinner, but this one works much better.
3) The cord pulls itself back in -and gently: I disliked how the old 'string' spinners would yank on your arm, and if you didn't respond just right the string wouldn't pull in at all: it ends up just sitting there in a pile. You'd have to take the lid off and wind it up yourself! This new design winds the cord up every time.
4) The basket is smooth on the inside -that's something I defintely have not seen before. It's a subtle feature, but very helpful: it helps make sure little bits of your lettuce dont get stuck in the basket when you're cleaning it out.
5) You can stack things on top of it, both in the fridge and in the cupboard, because the top is mostly flat. The handle even sits in its own little pocket in the lid so that it's not in the way. In my house fridge space is valuable and I appreciate being able to stack this spinner like I do with my tupperware.
So, overall I am impressed with this spinner (so impressed that I've also given it as a gift!). It does its job very well and has thoughtful extra features which make it more helpful around the kitchen.

Serve cleaner, healthier lettuce and baby spinach with help from the Zyliss Easy Spin Salad Spinner. First, rinse your salad greens in the colander basket, then put on the lid and pull the retractable cord. With just a tug, the unit spins swiftly to both clean and dry the leaves and unlike other salad spinners, there's no need to pump or crank. Press the stop button, and the basket comes to a sudden halt that fluffs the contents. This indispensable kitchen helper is also great for washing and drying herbs and for crisping bagged salads. Holds 16 cups, or 4-6 servings.

Cook Pro Salad Spinner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this to replace a previous spinner that gave up after 10 or so years. Previous one had holes on the bottom of the outer shell to let water out. This one doesn't. We originally thought that was a problem but after filling it with water, swishing some fresh cilanto around then seeing the brown water in the bottom, I think this is way better than the water-run-through kind. Also like the rubber feet on the bottom that keep it in place while spinning.

Progressive International CSS-1 Collapsible 5-Quart Salad Spinner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We were very excited to receive this item as a gift. After about ten uses of spinning salad greens (not overloaded or something obscure) the cord broke. It showed significant signs of fraying and abrasion. We pulled the handle just a few times for each drying cycle. We'll be searching online for similar experiences and potential fixes, we'd love to get it back up and running.

A great way to encourage healthy snacking and foster nutritious mealtimes, this versatile salad spinner makes a smart choice for on-the-go families, at-home entertaining, and more. The unit's collapsible design allows for tucking it neatly into any drawer, cupboard, or pantry, while its updated function takes the hassle out of meal preparation. To operate, simply fill the expanded 5-quart-capacity drainage basket with freshly washed produce--anything from chopped fruits and vegetables to loose-leaf spinach, lettuce, fresh herbs, and more. Next, place the basket into the expanded outer bowl and secure the lid. With a firm pull of the self-retracting cord, the basket spins to remove excess water, leaving its contents thoroughly cleaned, dried, and ready to consume. For added convenience, the unit's tight-sealing lid includes an integrated brake that stops the spinning motion with the touch of a button. Dishwasher-safe for thorough cleanup (hand-wash the lid), the salad spinner measures 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 3 inches when collapsed and about 6 inches tall when fully expanded.

OXO Salad Spinner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've avoided making salads for a long time because of the preparation time. I had an older salad spinner, but it was the kind you had to turn, and cleaning it afterwards always seemed to take a long time. This spinner is a huge improvement over any I've used before.
You put the rinsed greens in the strainer, or rinse them after they're in, and then put the strainer in the bowl. One easy push and it spins on its own and it does not move around at all on the counter. I have found that it takes a couple spins to dry them the way I like, but while the greens are spinning, you can be chopping up other salad ingredients.
Even better, you can lock the handle in the "down" position and use this spinner to store the unused greens in the fridge; no separate "lettuce saver" is needed. I've had leaf lettuce in mine for several days, and it is still crisp and fresh. Since buying this remarkable spinner, I've had salad every night. And enjoyed every minute of it, preparation included!
If you love salads but hate the prep, get this. You will wonder how you ever got along without it.

You can spin your salad dry with one hand thanks to the pump handle and non-skid base of this spinner. No cords to worry about, no handles to crank, what could be easier? It's even kind of fun, you won't be surprised to learn that this was inspired by the spinning tops of childhood days.
