I cannot praise this item enough! I make gourmet salads without having to manually chop and grate all of the ingredients (and in half the time!). This appliance does everything: grates, shreds, chops, and even spins dry the salad! You can also used it's cutting discs to chop ingredients for things other than salads (I use it to chop nuts for a dessert recipe). In sum, this is a great value and is well-worth the listed price. It is convenient and used frequently. Oh, and I love the anti-skid rubber base that keeps it from sliding away. Highest recommendation!

The Lextrix 0401 SaladXpress Electric Salad Center has such possiblities. However, I did find flaws with the product. First of all, food easily got wedged between the slicer and the lid. Also, you need to hold the button in while the machine is spinning, thereby taking away from the ease of doing something else while the salad is spinning dry. Everytime the lid is lifted, the plugger plops out. So annoying. Also, the chute seems a little too short and too close to the blade. This product could be a handy one with some adjustments to the design. It would be convenient to be able to spin salad dry and hold the baby at the same time. However, the worst thing, once again, about the product is getting food caught between the lid and the slicer mechanism. It would also be dandy to have a seal tight lid to store extra salad. For some reason, it may have been newness, but the motor had a burning smell to it.

I have the salad express, and it was well worth the money spent, washing and drying your lettuce leafs is now a breeze, grating cheeses, or slicing tomatoes, radishes, whatever you usually put in your salad, it's all done now with one appliance, the bowl holds a large salad, also you can toss your dressing with this appliance and use a minumal amount of dressing, and all the leafs are coated, saving money over time. It is as important as my steamer, and juicer. Judith

Overall this product is exceptional. Easy to use, assemble and clean. However, the shaft on which the blade spins seems to have a design problem. Out of the three Salad Spinners that I have had and given as gifts, two of them are defective. On one of them the shaft casing has cracked making it all but impossible to change the blades. The second one has a shaft that has too much play in it. When assembled the shaft comes too far down allowing the blade to come in contact with the inside basket and obstructing its ability to spin.

Make sure to know the return policy before purchasing this item, or you may be stuck with it.

After having gone through many hand turned salad spinners, I decided to spend the extra money and get a good one. This makes salad preparation soooooo easy. No more spinning by hand, just grip and press and you get instantly spun veggies. The grating discs are really handy too, just push veggies thru after the greens are spun... instant salad. I wish I had known about it years ago! Well worth the money. The convenience and saved time are well worth the investment.

This is a wonderful creation that is so helpful. everyone should buy it! i have had it for a year and have not had any problems! go! buy this! now!

This item worked great--when it worked! I received one in November & used it about 4 times when the motor seized. I called the manufacturer & they replaced it. I used the replacement about 3 times when the spindle which holds the grating wheel to the motor cracked, & the grating wheel fell off. Obviously I did not want another replacement, & apparently I cannot get my money back, so this is going into the trash. I am really disappointed because this was such a convenience, if only it had been better made.
