Anyone still use them?
I had one years ago but lost it during a move.
I've been googling but can only find real flimsy crap quality ones.
Recommend Me a Good Salad Spinner

I have this OXO one and not a huge fan of it. It works but really nothing special.
Got the IKEA one 5-6 years ago, still using it. Very good.
OXO is good but the spin isn't as powerful as some of the cheaper ones.
Probably good for an elderly person but I would get the IKEA one if I had to pay for it.
For the love of God do not get the Oxo or any push down ones.
They are so inefficient to use, use the crank ones.
Yes, I have the OXO and it does not work as well as the crank one I had before it. I purchased the OXO because the string of the crank one broke. Now I know why it's not as good.
We have a Zyliss Easy Spin. Have had it for years and we use it all the time. It's great.
Zyliss were very popular when I worked in a department store gift registry
They make really good garlic presses also
Yes, the Zyliss was much better than the OXO I have now but the string wore out. Still if I had to get a new one I would get Zyliss.
We have an Avanti that works well enough.
our leifheit was received as a present in 1999, used often

.Oxo is good
Wrap the lettuce and other salad items in a tea towel, swing it around your head for a minute or so - job done
What could be cheaper?
Wrapping it all in shade cloth and taping to the ceiling fan?
I learnt from the culinary chef Mr Bean and use a sock
Dry and toss your salad at the same time!
Even Big W , KMart etc ones work well, last ages. (not the pull start ones.)
They look like the Ikea version or this>

Do you prefer to eat your lettuce dry?
We just use our Miele Heat Pump Dryer.
Why waste $7?
I put greens in hands under tap, shake to dry, what is the point of a salad spinner?
You will not understand until you use one.
Op-Shop - tey the local community one, not the bigger guys.
Quite often appear in them, clean, good condition ~$1 - $2. Your donation is always appreciated
Nothing wrong with the $7 IKEA one, use it often and works well: https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/uppfylld-salad-spinner-white-40…
