Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner
For fun and easy salad preparation, try the OXO GOOD GRIPS Salad Spinner. Simply press the soft, non-slip knob to start the basket spinning. Easy, one-handed operation makes this Spinner a pleasure to use, and a built-in brake stops the Salad Spinner so you can unload it. A non-slip ring keeps the bowl steady on the countertop, and the basket and bowl can be used separately. Top-rack dishwasher safe
Washing and drying leafy vegetables has never been simpler or more fun than with this gadget. One hand is all you need to press the soft, cushioned knob to start the spinning; when the built-in brake is applied and the job is done, the basket and bowl can be taken apart and used separately. The knob locks down for easy storage, and the spinner is dishwasher-safe. Use this tool with lettuce, raw spinach, broad-leafed herbs, and greens--they end up clean and oh-so-dry, and the drier your leaves, the better salad dressings will adhere and the less mushy your sandwich bread will become. Puddles at the bottom of your salad bowl disappear... Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner Reviews
I had a salad spinner before and didn't like it. It is so easy to spin. This one dries the greens very well. The greens were still wet no matter how much I spun them.
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. Just my opinion based on personal research. I have looked over 20 Salad Spinner and compared them all. My final decision went to much better item than this one. And nothing different or special about this item anyway.
Dries my greens quickly. 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. I bought this spinner to replace my old pull cord version.
I haven't gotten to use it much, but what use it's had so far, it's great. I've been wanting this since seeing it mentioned in, I think it was, Cooks Illustrated magazine. This was an early Christmas gift from my husband (since he FOUND his present in the closet early).
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. If you've ever had an imbalanced load in your washing machine, then you know what I'm talking about. 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. It says what it does; it does what it says. And who knows.
I got this item with the express intention of using it to wring out tofu, which it does pretty well. maybe some day lettuce or other salad greens may actually see the inside of this thing. But this one in particular is well-designed, and the extra you pay for the ergonomics is worth it. 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. I like the Good Grips series overall, although it is a bit heavy on gadgety items.
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).
