I absolutely love my salad spinner. I love all my OXO products, but by far the salad spinner is one of my favorites. This is my 2nd salad spinner, my first was the small one which lasted me 20 years. The look is sleek & being able to push & lock the spin handle makes for easy storage. I've never used it this way before, but my son threw in all his salad ingredients & spun it to mix it all together.
