This miniature version of OXO's popular salad spinner has a capacity of 10 ounces and is the perfect size for drying berries, herbs, or salad for two. This little spinner has the same patented pump mechanism as its predecessor, which sets it spinning with one push on the soft knob. A nonslip base keeps the bowl rooted to your countertop while your lettuce is in motion. Water drains through the spinner's colander into the plastic bowl and a patented brake button lets you stop the spinning when the leaves are dry. The lid to the salad spinner also has a airtight lock so you can store greens right in the bowl after draining and drying to extend their storage life. All components of this spinner are dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Great Salad Spinner December 1, 2008
I had a salad spinner before and didn't like it. The greens were still wet no matter how much I spun them. This one dries the greens very well. It is so easy to spin.
 TOO SMALL December 1, 2008
I Thought I was getting a "normal" "regular" size everyday salad spinner, why should I by small and pay the same price when you can get more for the money? And nothing different or special about this item anyway? I have looked over 20 Salad Spinner and compared them all. My final decision went to much better item than this one. Just my opinion based on personal research.
Love it. November 16, 2008
I bought this spinner to replace my old pull cord version. That cord was always flopping out of the cupboard and being generally annoying. I love how this version is self contained and you can push the pump down and lock it in place for storage. Dries my greens quickly!
Nice Kitchen Tool November 11, 2008
This was an early Christmas gift from my husband (since he FOUND his present in the closet early). I've been wanting this since seeing it mentioned in, I think it was, Cooks Illustrated magazine. I haven't gotten to use it much, but what use it's had so far, it's great!
Salad Spinner my eye! It's a tofu drainer! November 11, 2008
I got this item with the express intention of using it to wring out tofu, which it does pretty well. There is some crumbling, and it doesn't get as dry as leaving it in (wasteful) paper towels for hours, but it doesn't take hours, either. I've also used it to wring excess moisture out of onions and other vedge to avoid soggy end-results (as advised by the great and mighty Alton). And who knows? maybe some day lettuce or other salad greens may actually see the inside of this thing. Also, the basket is a quick and handy second colander if your primary colander is already taken (just avoid heat; I don't think it'd like that much), and the outer bowl is handsome enough to double as a serving bowl.
I like the Good Grips series overall, although it is a bit heavy on gadgety items. But this one in particular is well-designed, and the extra you pay for the ergonomics is worth it. It says what it does; it does what it says.
A word of advice for those who wish to try my silly scheme: drain the tofu for a minute or two, then cut into cubes, filets or whatever, and make sure you balance the load in the basket. If you've ever had an imbalanced load in your washing machine, then you know what I'm talking about.
