Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The Salad Shower Plus is a washing machine for lettuce. With its special flow-through design, water runs through the spinner lid and out the bottom. Pull the cord and the basket revolves in both directions, rinsing away the dirt and taking away the drudgery of washing lettuce and other leafy greens. The white plastic basket removes from the clear spinner bowl to double as a colander for general washing. There's also a smaller basket for rinsing berries, herbs, and other tender produce that benefits from a gentler spinning action. --Lynne Sampson

Consumer Reports was right,
By Goldie (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emsa Salad Shower Plus Salad Washer & Dryer (Kitchen)
Based on a test in consumer reports (which rated the Frieling Salad washer & dryer as their top choice! We bought it and have to say: THEY ARE RIGHT ! This is the best way to wash and dry your salad in one smooth step. No need to wash the salad leaf by leaf, no need to spin it in one of those closed spinners that do not get up to speed, no need to empty the bowl of the accumulated water, no need to spin again etc. This one does the job in no time at all! The Frieling unit gets more water out that others we have used. If you use one of those crank or push models your salad is still wet and your salad dressing will run off. As far as I know, it's the only one with a second insert basket. I use it to wash and dry herbs and berries all the time.

More than a "dryer",
By "frogrockcafe" (Bellevue, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emsa Salad Shower Plus Salad Washer & Dryer (Kitchen)
It may look like your average salad "dryer" but this is much, much more. The reviewer who panned it by saying it gets water all over the place, didn't read the instructions or doesn't understand the function of this mult-purpose kitchen tool. It washes produce from fragile berries to large quantities of lettuce in the sink, so the water runs THROUGH the washer-dryer into the sink. Then when it's whistle clean you turn off the water and spin the produce with the fast-reversing action and the water drains into the sink while the produce gets dry. A clever insert allows the cleansing of fragile berries and mushrooms; allowing it to wash and rinse and lower RPMs. German engineers thought of everything here and this is truly a marvel of modern kitchen technology. The BMW of salad washers!

Sand in the Spinach and Water Everywhere!,
By
This review is from: Emsa Salad Shower Plus Salad Washer & Dryer (Kitchen)
I have attempted to use this machine to wash lettuce, spinach, and many other greens every week for 6 months while helping a friend with her cooking. If the lettuce from the market is the kind that is already clean, there is no problem. I have also, after many months, learned to avoid placing this dripping machine on the counter or carrying it across the floor. With drain holes covering the bottom, water pours out everywhere the machine goes. Unlike conventional spinners with solid bottoms, this machine must stay in the sink, or be held directly over it.If there is sand in the spinach, I have found this machine is an extremely poor substitute for soaking the leaves in the sinks several times until no more dirt settles to the bottom, then drying them. Call me old-fashioned, but a few grains of sand left in the spinach do not create what lesser food critics describe as "good mouth feel." In fact, they ruin the texture, except perhaps for those rare folks who like eating dirt. Every time I have used this machine, I have cursed: 1. The hassle of trying to pull the cord while the machine is resting on the bottom of the sink, 2. the pools of water everywhere if I take it out of the sink and, 3. the damned thing's inability to remove sand from spinach and other greens. I only wish my friend had purchased a conventional salad spinner, like the one I have at home, instead of this gimmicky gadget.
