Clogged cogs for dinner tonight honey!,
By Lindy Cheng "Lindy" (Mountain View, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Zyliss Smart Touch Salad Spinner 4-6 Servings, White (Kitchen)
Once upon a time I purchased a Zyliss salad spinner. It had a mechanism that was operated with twine. A lot like a yo-yo. Exactly like a yo-yo. I was a little skeptical, how long could the twine last anyway? However, I decided the health benefits of salad was worth $25 and purchased it. Eleven and a half years later the twine broke as I forsaw. A forlorn search through craft stores failed to yield strong twine with the correct diameter. Other twines/string snapped after a few uses.
Once again I shopped glumly and found the Zyliss was highly favored among reviewers. but with a twist. I couldn't find the highly reviewed model in stock. The newer model (this one) however was available. It sported a lever with a lock (to keep it out of your way when not in use), a brake (for those who can't wait for that first luscious, juicy, delectable leaf) and a internal mechanism to convert your up-down motion into moisture-removing centrifugal force. Once again, I was highly skeptical. The twine was fine! What is wrong with the modern world anyway? But since I figure the health benefits of salad outweigh $29.98, once again I purchased. I've had this for three weeks now. It's been in use almost everyday. Usually, it has trouble engaging when you pump the lever. It can take up to 5-6 tries before the spinning starts. Today the cog jammed. Like all Zyliss products, it looks great. If this continues, I will return to Amazon. And remove some stars from this review. But really, I want 29.98 of that awesome twine so I can repair my old salad spinner. Update - Sept 10, 2008 I've had the spinner for about a month and a half now. Still eating lots of salad almost daily. I dropped the lid of the spinner on my tiled kitchen floor. It's a very heavy lid and a small plastic piece that hold the entire spinner section in place popped out. I was able to fix this with a drop of super glue (non-toxic, of course!). The clogs haven't jammed since. I have no problems now starting the spinning action. I've figured out the correct rhythm to keep it spinning. It's working great. Now I don't know what to think. I can't exactly advocate dropping the lid to fix the cranky mechanism. I guess I'll simply state that, all things considered, the lid is reasonably robust but not indestructible. Update April 23, 2011 Life has it's ups and downs and this salad spinner has had more than it's share. I dropped the lid *again* on my tiled kitchen floor and the same plastic piece popped out. More glue but the results were not good. This time the cogs clog, it's all back to original state. Should I close my eyes and slam the lid on the floor a few times? Right now, it's a very pretty colander. Meanwhile, I've realized that laces for sneakers are amazingly tough things and just the right length. For $1.98, I've got enough enough twine to repair my original salad spinner twice.

Not as good as the pull-cord model,
By
This review is from: Zyliss Smart Touch Salad Spinner, 4 to 6 Servings. Discontinued Almost Sold Out
Having used both the older model with the pull cord and this newer, "improved" model, I believe that the older model is far superior to this one.
It is true that this one moves around less when operating it, but the mechanism is harder to operate: Pulling is simply easier than pushing for most people. After owning this new model for less than six months, the lever on top snapped in half (I am a woman of average strength, so I wasn't using it too hard). The design made it impossible to fix, so I have just purchased the older model again, which I am relieved is in stock here again. Avoid this model. (Zyliss is a good company, so I imagine they will not make this substandard product for long anyway.)

Good idea but not durable,
This review is from: Zyliss Smart Touch Salad Spinner, 4 to 6 Servings. Discontinued Almost Sold Out
We have owned a number of spinners and when this one was new it had great spinning action. Very easy to use with the press down lever. However after about 1 year of usage 3 - 5 times a week the product broke down gradually. The handle first started to loose its ability to go up and down smoothly and would catch at the bottom and not come back up. A piece attatched to the top that would interlock with the inside basket became loose and fell off. Eventually the basket warped and it was diffucult to put the top on to spin the salad.
I would not buy this product. Durability is a real problem. 2115|R3KZ87SDWSBLP7;2115|R4GCC0XRT2HT7;2115|R2GQQGGA93ENO3;
