Product Information

After one cycle in the dishwasher, the bowl and colander were misshapen and had to be bent back into their nesting formation even though the manufacturer claims they are dishwasher safe. But, overall, cleaned and spun greens of all kinds will last longer than if you just pop the bag or tub of greens in the fridge. The biggest issue with many salad spinners — including the ones we've liked in this guide — is that they're bulky and take up space in your pantry. HANDY HANDLE | With space-saving and easy storage in mind, the handle can be pushed inside the colander, allowing it to be stacked in bowls and completely out of the way.

Unfortunately, this model underperformed in the drying tests and wasn’t able to accommodate 10 ounces of lettuce. That’s kind of the choice you’re making when you choose between a hand crank-operated or a push-pump salad spinner. If you choose to wash in the dishwasher (be sure to check the manufacturer's instructions to ensure this option is safe for your spinner), separate the lid pieces if they come apart.

Cleaning: For fresh, farmer's market greens, we checked that all the dirt was removed from the leaves. Along with overall construction, size, and quality, we tested the bowl's versatility with other tasks—such as mixing pancake batter.

If you love fresh vegetable and fruit salads but hate the tedious prep work, rinse and wait no more. The centrifugal force created by spinning pulls out dirt particles hidden in the ribs and crevices of your lettuce, spinach, arugula, and more while drawing out any excess liquid. Across two tests—one featuring lettuce and the other berries—we noted the pump was easy to operate with minimal strength required.Like the OXO Good Grips spinner, this bowl has a silicone base so it won't slip and slide around your counter. You can also roll the cleaned lettuce in paper towels and place them in reusable storage bags or containers to last longer. We then noted any issues with reassembling, water spots or remaining food particles, and storage limitations.
