I have a large Spinner that I bought at now closed k mart and have used for years....Ive also seen the one I have in the grocery isle of kichen gadgets.Mine has a spinner knob on top and you turn it as fast as you want love it....Bought a mini spinner just big enough for a small amount of lettuce for sandwich I use it almost everyday I don't remember which catalog it was in something like Walter Drake . It will do a better job than the big one so many times you need just enough for small salad or few serving of fresh fruit....Love these gadgets..

Another OXO salad spinner owner here; it's the kind with the pump top.

I've had it for 10+ years and it's still spinning strong. A few of the rib areas on the inner basket have broken off but that hasn't interfered with the processing.

Why would anyone even need an electric salad spinner?  Is spinning a few lettuce leaves such a chore that an electrical assist is necessary?

I have an OXO salad spinner that is years old. Works every time. I don't think I would invest in an electric spinner. Check out BBB and use a coupon.

@Kachina624, that was my first thought. But then I had a second thought. :-) I have an excellent salad spinner that you do need to spin (not a press-down type). In that case, it would be difficult if I had any related physical problems.

I have a large Pampered Chef Salad Spinner, about 20 years old and still looks like brand new.  I always wash it by hand, but, I would love a electric one.  I have a very weak right arm and hand and it is hard for me to spin it for any length of time.  I haven't bought the electric one yet, just because my cabinets are screaming at me!

Get the Oxo push down salad spinner. It will last for years and do a great job. End of story.

@Kachina624...................no its not such a chore, but this was my first experience with a spinner and it was not a good one.  I wanted to see what others used and advise on a good brand.  Im 72 and have lost a lot of grip and strength in my hands, so I was just checking this out.

I have never had one, so I bought one, well it lasted about 3 or 4 uses.  The inner basket warped and the lid with the handle would not fit tight and spin anything.  Now I am back to drying the lettuce wraped in my cotton towels to dry.  (never put it in dishwasher).

Now for the question.  I found on Amazon an electric  spinner.  Has anyone used one or have one?  Before I spend $45.00 on one I would like to know if it works.

Thanks all

Best one is made by OXO. Available at many stores for less than $20.  Spin manually.  Dishwasher safe.  Well made, simple to use, AND to store.   Have had mine for 11 years without any problems.

 It's a no brainier how to use.   Skip the electric salad spinner.  Waste of money.

GOOD LUCK.
