I frequently purchase pre-made salads due to my busy schedule.  Even though they say they are "ready to eat", I still rinse them.  With my 'old' salad spinner, the small pieces slip through the holes in the colander.  The OXO Salad Spinner took care of that problem by creating a basket that has smaller holes in it so I don't loose any of the bits in the outer bowl.  The best part of this spinner is the spinner handle locks down flat for storage, unlike my previous spinner where the spinner handle didn't allow for stacking.  OXO knocks it out of the park ---- AGAIN!!
