The last salad spinner I owned was a mini size I had registered for at the time of my wedding.  Years later my kids confiscated it for their play kitchen...proving a point: everyone needs a salad spinner! It’s a useful tool, saving me counter space and wasting paper towels laying out to dry lettuce.  The main negative is that it does take up cabinet space, but having a spinner back in my life reminded me its worth it.  It makes cleaning of all greens easier and in turn our family eats more.  The strainer portion on this model is particularly sturdy and could be used for draining and rinsing other food as well. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
