This is a very nice, high quality item, and a pleasant change to other salad spinners I have had which were constructed with a plastic exterior.  This one has a stainless steel bowl, is sturdy, and also very easy to operate.  There is an instruction booklet included but you don't really need it.

The great thing about the stainless steel bowl is that you can just as easily use it as a serving bowl once you have spun the salad.  I like to use it that way but with wooden serving spoons so that the bowl does not become scratched.  

All of the parts are detachable and easy to keep clean using soap and water.  I am able to keep the spinner out in the open for easy access seeing as how it is silver and black in appearance, blending in with my other kitchen appliances.  Great piece of equipment!
