Editorial Review

Pulling the cord in the snap-on lid of this salad spinner rotates thebasket in two directions, drying greens more quickly than spinners thatonly rotate in a single direction. The back-and-forth motion preventsdroplets from being trapped in the folds of greens. (Conveniently, italso rewinds the pull-cord.) The basket measures 9-3/4 inches indiameter and 4-1/4 inches deep, ample capacity for family-size salads.It fits into an elegant, polished, stainless-steel bowl with twobrushed accent bands that can be used to handsomely serve salads--orpotato chips. Accompanying the salad spinner is a plasticknife with a 7-1/2-inch serrated blade for cutting all manner of greenswithout turning their edges brown, as some steel knives do. Read more

WOW! Does a wonderful job and is FUN!
The illustration of this item in no way does it justice. When I opened the package I was very pleased at the futuristic look to this spinner, but how well did it work? Salad was on the menu for lunch so...in went the wet lettuce for the first use of this spinner. WOW! It was like no other spinner I had ever used. You simply pulled on the handle attached to a white rope spinning the lettuce at a high speed. Once the rope was fully extended the momentum of the spinner pulled the rope back in. Another pull REVERSED the direction of the spin and the cycle started again. The bi-direcitonal action cleaned the lettuce of water in very short order. And it is great FUN. If you have kids who are not thrilled about helping in the kitchen this is something that they can do and have fun doing it (you may even be able to get them to wash the lettuce as well).Read more

Editorial Review

This smaller 2-quart salad spinner dries just enough greens to feed side salads to a family of four. The plastic colander insert is useful for a first washing and straining of lettuce leaves, kale, or collard greens and then fits into the transparent bowl to spin dry. The tight-fitting spinner lid has a pull cord that rotates the basket in two directions so greens are tossed as well as dried. The plastic ring on the end of the cord is hard and heavy so make sure fingers and any breakable glassware or ceramics are out of the way when you let go. If the cord becomes unwound, you can easily rewind it by rotating the bottom of the spinner lid. This salad spinner’s bowl has three non-slip pads underneath it to keep it stable during spinning and comes with an extra storage lid to keep salad greens fresh for days at a time. Read more

don't put it in the dishwasher
My boyfriend put the colander in the dishwasher the first week I had this salad spinner, and the heat caused the colander to warp so the spinner is now completely useless.

Perfect spinner!
I am very pleased with this purchase.The mini Zyliss spinner is large enough to spin a salad for 4, and small enough to store easily.It's amazing how much water I pour out of the bowl after just a few quick pulls on the cord!Read more

Cute little thing!
I originally purchased the well-known, big glass Salad Spinner which was too heavy, too big and came with no storage lid so I returned it and replaced it with this one. Such a cute, fun little thing!
