I've had two other salad spinners by Cuisinart and found them to not last more than a year or so before the bowl cracked.  This one seems sturdier.  I did call your help-line to ask if there is a way to take apart the top to the spinner to clean it.  The lady was very nice and put me on hold to ask someone else because she didn't know. I had already seen your video about it, but it doesn't address my question.  The older versions had a plastic screw-like thingie that held the parts to the top together.  You could undo the screw, remove the separate parts and clean them.  This one doesn't seem to allow for that.  Other than that, I do like it.
