The Salad Spinner works great when I'm washing the greens from my garden.  I'm surprised how well it removes water from the greens.  I like having the control that the knob gives, as opposed to pushing a "button" plunger, and I like having the brake available to stop the spinning.  The only disappointment is that it isn't large enough to hold some of my greens without tearing them before spinning.  That isn't a big concern.
