2.0 out of 5 stars Only for light use., November 26, 2008

This review is from: Progressive International Salad Spinner (Kitchen)

I probably go through at least six heads of lettuce a week in my house, and since I'm not into eating dirt, organic or not, I need a sturdy salad spinner. This is not it. I don't mind that I have to empty the bowl and spin again. What I do mind is that the rip-cord stopped "catching" properly after a couple of weeks, and then snapped free after a couple of months.

I've seen this on sale several places, and if you only need to wash lettuces once or twice a week and you can get it cheap, then it might be worth it. But if you're into preparing salads every day and need to use it on a daily basis, it's not worth it. It's too bad because it's good-looking.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fell apart after a couple of uses, July 27, 2009

This review is from: Progressive International Salad Spinner (Kitchen)

I bought this salad spinner on sale and have found it to be very cheaply made. The components of the lid have been glued together, and mine came apart after I had used it 2 or 3 times. I cannot see why an item that comes into contact with water frequently would be glued. I have re-glued mine, but do not know how long it will last this way, I just hated to throw the whole thing out. My advice would be to invest in a better quality product, you really do get what you pay for.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worked great until the string broke, June 6, 2010

This review is from: Progressive International Salad Spinner (Kitchen)

This spinner worked just fine for us for about a year, but recently the fabric string casing around the pull string started to fray and then snapped entirely. Now I'm searching on Amazon for a spinner that isn't a pull string...
