5.0 out of 5 stars A great fruit and vegetable washer, October 16, 2006

By 

Rochelle "The Struggling Cook" (USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this without reading a single review. I searched hard for one, but guess this must be too pricey for most people to purchase it (at least, that's my guess). But since my husband and I juice every morning, we wanted something to remove pesticides. We bought this and have never regretted it. Granted, I can't prove that pesticides and other bad things (i.e e-choli) are actually removed, because I don't have a science lab at hand, I CAN say items washed are MUCH cleaner with this. I can also say we haven't gotten sick, and spinach is one of our daily ingredients (I'm reviewing this shortly after the e-choli on spinach breakout).

I have washed bunches of celery and been disgusted by what was washed off (bugs, dirt, and who knows what else). Even if we can't see much difference, we can feel a difference. For example, carrots washed in running water feel like carrots, but carrots washed in this washer feel almost like they were scrubbed clean.

If you can afford this, I highly recommend it.

I will add, for those who purchase it, that there is a metal ring in the bottom of the bowl that says 'open' and 'close.' I called Samson's help line and asked about this, since nothing is mentioned in the user's guide. The man told me to leave it alone (on the 'closed' setting), that it is for repair technicians to use.

We've used it for food, and also for our toothbrushes. They get a thorough cleaning each month, and I don't have to worry about them warping, as happens when they are boiled clean.

5.0 out of 5 stars produce lasts longer, July 31, 2007

Be aware that this unit is rather heavy and takes up a lot of space if you leave it on the counter. I keep mine on the counter by the sink, use the sink's sprayer to fill the unit, and scoot the unit partially over the sink to empty it. I do believe that my fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer if bathed in this cleaning device. Since I live an hour from the closest town, I only shop once a week so this is a great feature for me. The unit will hold a large head of romaine lettuce. I hit the fruit or vegetable button once for organic produce and twice for non-organic produce. It's nice to be able to vary the amount of time in this way. The "I'm done" tune is pleasant! The low voltage use is good especially if you are on a solar system as I am.

This review is from: 12.8 L Digital Ultrasonic Fruit & Vegetable Cleaner

I was excited thinking that Samsom had made a larger unit. NOT. This "12.8" Liter washer is the same washer available for $50 less at a dealer that advertises the actual model number GBW300. I just got finished filling my GBW300 with 12.8 liters of water to make sure I'm not blowing smoke. If they'd have put that it was the GBW300 in bold letters along side of it I wouldn't be making a comment. However they also changed the measurements from inches to mm which even obfuscate the issue more. By the way, this is an awesome machine. I live in Guatemala where they have amoeba;s as house pets and at the moment I'm drinking a raw green smoothie of which I'd washed the veggies in the Samsom and not had to use other chemicals. My understanding is that the ultra sonic also knocks the pesticides off the leaves as well. If I don't get cancer in 15 years we'll know for sure :-)
