The standout feature of this spinner is its spinning basket, which also functions as a colander. And it is so easy to use. You place your salad and herbs into the basket/colander, rinse under the tap and place the basket into the salad bowl. The non-slip base keeps the bowl steady on your countertop. Pop on the lid, release the knob by pulling the release button forward and then just press down once on the large button. Either let it spin until it stops on its own on press the built-in brake button which stops it spinning immediately, which ensures a safe and quick stop for unloading.
It quicky and easily spins all that excess water off your salad and herbs. No fuss and so easy to use, even one handed.
Cleaning is a doodle. The lid comes off and can be pulled apart into two pieces and can be placed in the dishwasher along with the basket and bowl (it is dishwasher safe) for cleaning. Cleaning manually is just as easy.
When it comes to storing, place the spinner basket into the bowl, pop on the lid and press down the button and lock it into place and the lid is now flat for easy storing in a cupboard and is stackable.
Overall, this is a quality little kitchen aid that is simple and efficient to use. And it does a fantastic job of spinning excess water of the contents.
The basket capacity is 1.9l and the bowl 2.7l, perfect for small households or single servings (a larger version is also available). And its small footprint of 20cm x 20cm x 17cm doesn’t take up lots of space.
