Glad I ordered this one

When my last Zyliss finally gave it up.(eight years old) I didn't hesitate to order another one. Some of the reviews were a little discouraging especially about the pull ring but I decided to order anyway. I don't usually write reviews but in this case I just had to say that I am very happy with my purchase and that I actually like the new design better. I have been using my new spinner for a few months now and it has held up to the tasks that I have given it. I wash and spin my lettuce and veggies (not tomatoes) together a lot just to save time and the bowl is large enough for me to make enough for a couple of days.

Very sturdy, but small

I love how sturdy this is. I've had other spinners, and this one is far and away the best--built one ever! It works well, but it is small, so a larger size head of lettuce is squeezed within it, I would still buy it though, if you're going to use it for a small family or store it in a small space.

Easy to use and large enough to wash enough greens for the week

I had a smaller salad spinner from a different manufacturer, and it did the job well, but it was just too small. I have a garden and I pick a lot of lettuce each time I harvest so I wanted something that could handle what I harvested - trying to do so many small batches was annoying! This is just what I wanted. It can handle up to 3 heads of loose leaf lettuce in one washing, the pulling mechanism is easy to operate, and it gets the lettuce as dry as any salad spinner possibly could (no spinner is going to be able to get them bone dry). I have not experienced any issues with my dressings getting watered down so I'm ecstatic to have found this!

Makes a good PCR plate centrifuge

Easy to adapt into a lab centrifuge for spinning PCR plates and tube racks. For casual centrifuging and spinning stuff down it works just as well as my $6000 Eppendorf. Pretty durable, spins fast, easy to clean, confuses Safety and Compliance inspectors who have no idea why I have a salad spinner on my lab bench. Can fit up to four 96-well plates.

Zyliss easy spin salad spinner is wicked awesome.

I owned the older model from the late 80's early 90's. it was abused and showed its age. but we loved it still. then the plastic from the top along the pull string finally cracked and broke off. so we had to get another. they dont make the older models anymore but this works just as well. not as sturdy, but much more stylish and crystal clear. maybe mine old one was just used up but man is this one pretty, basket for the salad is a little flimsier but a little larger, the older model you had more of a grip on the thing because the pull string was at an angle since this one it in the middle it took us a little to get useto, but my girlfriend says it much easier to pull. well just like everything else in life "be sure to take care of it and it'll take care of you" =)

Good new version

This is my second one of these.....in about 15 years. Works well, easy to clean, and I keep it in the refrigerator with the clean, dry lettuce in it. Makes putting a salad together at dinner time much easier.

I love my new Zyliss Easy Spin Salad Spinner

This is a great piece of kitchen equipment. Its so easy to use. It does a great job. It is so easy to clean.What more could I ask for, except some one else to wash my salad stuff!

Excellent

Bought this to replace a 20 year old Zyliss spinner whose bowl finally cracked. I hope this one lasts 20 years! The stop button helps it work a little better than the old one, otherwise same great spinner. I use this to wash lots of garden vegetables, not just as a lettuce spinner. My only complaint is the sticker, still picking away it! Doesn't need to be that sticky.

Great salad spinner!

This Zyliss salad spinner is my favorite! It has been updated since the one I bought in 2014 with a better braking mechanism so it spins the salad drier. It has a rubber "ring" on the bottom to keep it from slipping. I like the way it fits in the refrigerator. It isn't tapered like some are and takes up less room. Also it has a flat top so you can stack another lightweight container on top of it to maximize refrigerator storage space.

Reunited!!!

My kitchen nearly came to a screeching halt when 'someone' in my kitchen got a little overzealous with my Zyliss Salad Spinner. You see, I bought it years ago (I believe at Bed Bath & Beyond) and it had become an integral part of my kitchen... it had taken a beating to be sure. It had been warped by boiling water (really people, watch which sink you drain the pasta in!), it's lovely clear blue bowl had slowly become hazy after years of dishwasher abuse, it had been dropped so many times without ever uttering even the slightest disgruntled sound! It took a beating and never complained. But then... pauvre Zyliss was introduced to the man of the house, or rather the man of the house was introduced to my sweet, harmless, hard-working Zylee baby. It was too much... the temptation to spin the basket ever faster and faster while watching the contents being wrung ever dryer and dryer through the lovely clear bowl was too much temptation and no matter how many warnings were uttered from the other side of the kitchen the urge won out until... snap! I felt... well, I felt sick! How would I ever get my dressing to stick to my micro greens again? How would I keep my sandwiches from getting soggy from over-damp red lettuce... how would my baby spinach manage? Where would I now find that ever-so-satisfying pleasure from pushing the brake button and watching the water droplets slam helplessly into the bowl's sides; where would a find another Zyliss?! Would it match up... had they changed it thus ruining all the things I had loved about it? We wandered around from store to store and finally, after months of patting romaine half-heartedly dry with paper toweling, found a near duplicate here on Amazon. Her lid is still clear (and comes apart for easy washing), her spinner spins beautifully and gracefully, her brake BRAKES! Oh does it brake! The bowl design works wonderfully for rinsing other veggies (though the temptation to spin some veggies should be quelled!) making it indispensable once again in my kitchen. Though I must admit, I guard her a bit more jealously now and am considering buying a second (and third... one just never knows!). Some tools should not be allowed in the kitchen... ever. Or at least not next to the Zyliss!! In summation: Get one!
