I admit when the salad spinner first came out I was skeptical at the price. I bought my oxo one for 1/2 the price. BUT, I have been through 3 of the oxo ones over the years and ours is absolutely fantastic. Even my husband was thrilled with it.
Why?
First, it only takes a push or two to dry a whole head of lettuce, rather than having to continuously push on the nob (or pull a string) with the other brands. Second, the bowl holds a whole head, no problem, so you can wash one all at once. We eat salad every single night, so a good salad spinner is a must.
Here's my technique. I fill the bowl (minus the colander part) with cool water. I put the lettuce leaves into the water and swish them around, then put them in the colander, dump the water, put the colander in the bowl and put the lid on to spin. It is so much easier than washing the leaves one at a time. They get just as clean in a fraction of the time.
The lid is very heavy duty... much heavier than the oxo version, which will keep the spinner from sliding around on the counter. Plus there is a silicone ring on the bottom of the bowl to keep it from slipping. It makes washing lettuce and other vegetables much easier and faster.
I love this new salad spinner! Even if you don't earn it, you should tell your customers about what a fantastic product it is. Especially with salad season coming up!
