Zyliss Large Salad Spinner - Green

I bought this spinner in the days when the interior basket was smooth. Over the 10+ years I had it, I probably used it a dozen times. That's when I noticed the hinge cracking. It was a short downhill run from there before the pump handle action was destroyed and the connection point was beyond repair. I intended to keep the top in order to find a replacement, only to find that whoever cleaned the kitchen that night tossed it. For the price paid, all I have now is a nice plastic salad bowl with a skid free bottom (great on the boat) and a colander I doubt would hold up straining hot foods. I would happily accept a replacement.

It worked really well the first time. But the second time I tried to use it, the handle stopped working. It made a snapping noise, and now the handle won't lift up all the way and the gears won't spin. I tried to unscrew the base to see if I could fix it on my own - but the screws are useless! And now I can't seem to find a replacement lid. Buying a whole new spinner just seems wasteful. Really disapointing quality. I was looking forward to using this for all our summer salads. Seems like I'm going to have to look elsewhere.

I have absolutely zero complaints about this. It really is so much fun to use, built well and a "must have" for salad lovers!
