Small Collapsible Salad Spinner - half the size without compromising on features

Product Information

It was much more efficient with a quart of strawberries, taking only 10 minutes to go from cold soak to finished. Our one negative comment was after following the manufacturer’s instructions to wash it in the dishwasher, we found water spots all over the stainless steel bowl that took some vigorous rubbing with a clean, dry hand towel to remove. Lettuce came out clean, just glistening with moisture, and berries were unbruised and ready to be eaten. Across two tests—one featuring lettuce and the other berries—we noted the pump was easy to operate with minimal strength required. We found that it easily accommodated two heads of radicchio for one test, two bunches of cilantro for another, and one pint of blueberries for a third.

That, coupled with the fact it’s been six years since we last reviewed them, meant it was time to retest salad spinners. This powerful model featured a pedal-powered spin mechanism that was intuitive and easy to use, generating a lot of force without much effort.

As far as bowl material goes, for efficient spinning, you need to be able to see your product to know when it's dry.

This conveniently compact unit features a flexible body that easily breaks down to half its expanded size.

Free spinning, pump-style devices like the OXOs and Zyliss Swift Dry get a push from their spinning mechanism and then continue spinning on their rotational point. If space is a consideration, the smaller models or even the collapsible types may be a better choice. All of our winners had lids that trapped minimal lettuce and at least one dishwasher-safe component.Carrie's work has appeared in many publications, including Bon Appetit, Allrecipes, and Wine Enthusiast.
