About this deal

The lid fits snugly on top and would work nicely to cover what's inside for storage or transporting, and we like that you can collapse the bowl afterwards if you're taking a big salad to a picnic or potluck. Fortunately, a full-scale clean is of average difficulty because the entire unit can be disassembled.

The genius of this spinner is the one-handed pump action – great if you have any problems with your hands as little pressure is needed to set the spinner whizzing at an incredible speed. Cleaning is quite simple, simply requiring you to pull apart the lid — unlike other units that require you to remove a screw.It's even dishwasher safe, and the handle retracts inside the colander, so it can nest in a bowl for storage. It only took 10 pumps to completely clean and dry a large head of romaine lettuce, and no berries were bruised after five efficient plunges and fast-action braking.

Not content with just spinning your salad, this gadget set is an all-encompassing kitchen must-have that combines washing and grating in all shapes and sizes. This was the only one we tested with a pull cord, which initially seems an odd system to use but just one good, effortless pull and the bowl whizzes round, and in most cases was all that was needed to dry our salad completely. We particularly loved its curvaceous design; the lid is rounded, sleek and shiny, and the bowl is crystal-clear plastic, with an attractive curve and a bright-green grippy ring at the base… nice enough to bring your freshly dried salad right to the dinner table. Salad spinners can range in capacity from less than three quarts to over six quarts, with most falling somewhere in the middle.Each unit was measured before an initial five-second spin, weighed, and then measured again after an additional five-second spin. Clear bowls are best for this, but they're not as attractive if you want to also use them as a serving bowl.

The spinning action works with a pump mechanism, and the pump handle has a comfortably rounded shape made of grippy plastic. We'll forever have a soft spot for how OXO designs products that are easy and comfortable to operate.

We were most impressed by the Cuisinart Salad Spinner, which is easy to use, spins in both directions, and leaves the least amount of water on the greens after spinning. The humble salad spinner may seem like an unnecessary kitchen tool, but we beg to differ: It's revolutionary when it comes to yielding crispy, fresh greens. We were very impressed with the dryness of the salad with just a few spins, and everything came out fluffy and undamaged.

For each test, we noted how operating the pump or knob felt and how much strength was required to start and continue spinning. If you're looking to upgrade your salad game, consider what else you might need: an efficient garlic press for flavourful dressings, invest in a top grater for perfect parmesan shavings on a Caesar salad or a cool box to keep your salad crisp for a picnic. The size is ideal for folks who often cook for one and who don't need to wash large quantities of greens all at once. We repeated the test with a quart of strawberries and were pleased with the thorough cleaning without any bruising.
