I had one just like this, and I had it for 10 years and it finally broke. I am so ecstatic that this style of salad Spinner is still available, and still has the high-quality.Definitely recommend

I had to replace a previous spinner but didn't want to pay as much. I was immediately attracted to the very reasonable price - proved to be a great buy! I love the removable basket & how thoroughly greens are dried. I had read complaints about cord possibly getting moldy so I fully extend it to dry completely before retracting. No issues at all.

I bought this 2 years ago and it is still in great shape. Works great, easy to clean and it has lasted a lot more that the predecessor. I would buy another if it wasn't because mine is still working perfectly. 100% RECOMMEND IT.

TL; DRThis product does exactly what I wanted it to accomplish, and the price was exactly what I wanted to pay.Prep work is simultaneously meticulously awesome and the bane of my existence. When I have the time and motivation I love to whip up colorful salads, sandwiches & side dishes, but that requires washing - AND DRYING - all the fresh produce. Trying to manually blot-dry romaine, spinach, and spring mix is tedious, and invariably results in damp &/or bruised greens that make mush of the heartiest BLT, leave the crispiest salad soggy, and don’t even get me going about trying to sauté moist “mise en place”. I finally broke down and decided to search online for a cheap, basic spinner. Being the bargain shopper that I am, I looked on the site that rhymes with “Fish”, thinking that a salad spinner is exactly the kind of item that they’d have for “$0.62, plus $4.31 shipping”. I can only surmise that salad spinners were among the random products that were in high demand/short supply due to the pandemic, because I couldn’t find any under about $20, they looked very flimsy, and they would probably take 4-6 weeks to get here. I actually found one on that site, nearly identical to this one, priced at $37.99 + shipping (several weeks of shipping), and a few even more expensive.Incredulous, I turned to Amazon. I’d like to say that I typed in a few keywords and voilà; I found THE ONE, but life isn’t that simple. The scarcity that shrouded the ‘Hopeful’ site seemed to be impacting these results as well. Would I have to take out a sketchy loan, delve into the Dark Web, or (gasp) continue to blot/air-dry my lettuce?!?!…Nope, I just adjusted some filters and found the Prep Solutions by Progressive spinner. I think that I would prefer the pump-style propulsion, having the basket slightly higher off the outer bowl, and maybe a pour spout for draining the water, but those are bespoke features that will have to remain on my vision board. The outer bowl also makes a nice clear plastic salad bowl, saving the need to wash another dish (do give it a good rinse & dry between spinning the veggies and assembling the salad, in case there’s any dirt in the bottom of the bowl). Cleaning the spinner after use is as simple as adding some warm water with a *tiny* drop of dish soap, pull the cord a few times to distribute the solution, dump out the suds, then repeat with clean water a couple times to rinse. Leave the pieces upside down at a slight angle to air dry, and be sure that it’s completely dry before reassembling for storage.I’d say that the only ‘con’ for this item is that it does take up quite a bit of space in the cupboard. I’m planning to reorganize my kitchen, so I’ll probably try to find a few items that I can stash inside the spinner when not in use, so it makes better use of the empty space. Or maybe use the bowl & basket to hold fresh fruit/veggies (either on the counter or in the fridge), and just store the lid/spinner mechanism by itself? There was a collapsible version available, but I was dubious as to the durability of the collapsing bowl. The process of collapsing and expanding is bound to cause stress on the bowl, and once that breaks, you’ll probably never be able to find another container to fit the lid exactly, dooming the whole spinner to trash &/or recycling. Wherever I end up storing it, this is a great quality product that is worth the space in a crowded kitchen.

Es un porducto de excelente calidad y bastante util

This is my second one. The spin is the fastest with this string pull style comparted to the other ones like large push button or hand crank. My first one lasted a long time but the string finally broke. This new one is exactly the same, except there is no rubber ring on the bottom of the bowl to make it grip to the counter when you're pulling the string. Without the rubber, it slides around the counter and I accidentally spilled lettuce all over the floor because of it. So now, I'm using the old bowl with the rubber grip since it was just the spinning mechanism that broke. The new bowl even has the groove where the rubber goes, but maybe they wanted to cut costs or maybe for some reason mine was missing even though it was shrink wrapped properly and not an open box item. Still I recommend this style spinner over the large push button ones or hand crank styles.

Finally. I had one for years very similar to this one. And the string broke. So this one is the upgraded version. One pull and it keeps spinning. Wow ! After getting a few others and hating them. I'm really happy finding this one!

Muy buen producto, el mecanismo es muy funcional y deja secas las verduras.

Funcionou super bem por 1 mês, depois a “cordinha” que é puxada para acionar a centrifugação arrebentou, sem possibilidade de reparo, as peças são todas coladas. Não recomendo!

I like the pull-start feature. This does not "go" on its own as I was hoping, but the cord is better than the spinners you have to wind. This is much more durable than other salad spinners I've owned, and ok for the money.What I would really like to see in a salad spinner is one that is made of either glass or metal. Those exist, but then the inner baskets are plastic, negating half the purpose for using thst material on the outside. Glass and metal are safer, no chemical worries. Since the only metal ones have plastic baskets, I decided it didn't make a difference what the outside was made of, so I went with this one and saved some money.The inner basket in this one is very flimsy but it's probably necessary to get a good spin.I'd like to see a salad spinner not only made of glass or metal, but electric powered with a stop button. How nice it would be to have your produce dried while you're tending to some other part of your meal.All in all, this one is decent. I suspect eventually the pull-cord will wear out.

UPDATE 9/18/19: Pull cord sheared off, so mechanism cannot spin. 0 stars for durability. It did not even last up to the normal return deadline Amazon gives us. I believe this has a design or material flaw related to the pull cord. My 20-yr old model with pull cord is still working, not shredded. Progressive might consider returning to that older design?I have an older design from Progressive from about 20 years ago. It has a pull cord, but it spins in 2 directions instead of just 1. On first pull, it spins forward, then on next pull, reverse direction. This change of directions really gets water off salad greens more effectively than any other uni-directional spinner I have tried. Although my old spinner is about 20 years old, it’s still going strong today, pull cord and all.Needed a 2nd spinner, so bought this newer version. Its very nice quality, works great. Plastic is strong, slightly pliable—not the brittle type of plastic of some spinners. What I like is the pull cord design—easier, imo, than pumping or rotating a piston as with other spinners. The ‘stop’ button really works too. Love the refreshing lime green color of basket/lid against a transparent bowl. I have had this for about 3 weeks, and I use about once/day. Will update in 4-6 months. Update, ~3 weeks, pull cord shredded, mechanism frozen, cannot even fix this. See update photos above. Sorry, I cannot recommend this until the material or design is fixed.
