Zyliss Easy Spin Salad Spinner

Excellent design.... sad that they aren't made in Switzerland anymore.

This is our 3rd Zyliss salad spinner in a little over a decade. First time with the new model. While it overall feels sturdier than the classic it does seem to hold less due to the shape and the components don’t stay together as nicely. Hope it holds up to our frequent use as the older model did

This shredder is absolutely perfect for Parmesan cheese. I can’t wait to see what else it can do to make my life easier.

I really like this stainless steel salad spinner.
After a while the plastic one crack.

I Love it! amazing product I recommend

In direct comparison with the 20 year old predecessor, this one is more durable, but does not do the job as well. Does not spin as fast, lettuce is not dry - needs to be dried again with dish towel. It's now three pieces instead of two - which is cumbersome. I'm not returning it, but it does not perform as well as the Zyliss original design.

Have purchased the Zyliss spinner many times over the years -- replacements were free after earlier version's cord would break. The newer model has a lid the comes apart and snaps back together easily; more sturdy than older version. Drying ability has no peer.

This is a really nice quality spinner. I use this almost everyday and it’s been great!

I had a pull cord spinner that I used for years and needed to replace. I got a push button type that came recommended--it didnt get my greens dry. After a search I found this model and it is working great for me. The pull cord is smooth and really gets it spinning. It is a good size and I am pleased.

With every spinner I purchased over the last 30 years, I've found the design becomes more cumbersome and less utilitarian. Now that they're gray in color it will be impossible to find the areas that need detailed cleaning. I wish they would just go back to there original design which was great.

very well made,holds a good volume of greens

Not only does this work amazing but it also looks very sharp! Never thought I would be so stylish drying my salad & veggies - it's so fashionable I often leave out as it really vibes with my kitchen. LOVE IT!

Fast shipping and great product!

Zyliss Easy Spin Salad Spinner Stainless Steel

two parts of the top frequently come apart

Zyliss large salad spinner has been my go-to for 20+ years — most effective drying; good capacity. Latest model has stronger pull-cord, but lid comes apart too easily.

Lettuce comes out dry and stays in balance when spinning

Doesnt get out of balance when spinning. Lettuce comes out dry😁

We use salad spinners all the time in our house for prepping lettuces and other greens for salads and cooked dishes. I had been looking for a spinner with a pull-string mechanism for a while after using my mother-in-law's spinner from the '80s. But everybody makes lever or push-down mechanisms, which are terrible in my opinion. They take too much force to operate and don't last very long. In comparison, this Zyliss spinner is so easy to use, and it is very simple to reach the speed you need to drive off the water. Every aspect of the spinner shows how much thought went into the design, from how the pull handle can sit flat for storage or at an angle for grabbing to the complex shape of the basket.

Initially, I was annoyed by the clear plastic top shield. My wife and I were confused by the fact that it doesn't snap into place permanently, and we struggled a bit to figure out how all the pieces go together snugly. But then we realized that it shouldn't be permanently attached. It's job is just to protect the spinning mechanism from water infiltration. It is held in place by flexible clips so that it can be removed easily for cleaning. So once we got the hang of handling this piece, we find the spinner very easy to put together and use.

I contacted Zyliss to ask about the black plastic construction, and they told me they don't use recycled plastic (the source of toxic components in normal black plastic utensils). Instead, they use a wheat-based filler and new plastic for their tools, so I'm confident they are safe for my family.

Grwat size for an apartment, a beautiful design, easy to use. Love it.

I like look and ease of use

The spinner works well. It removes most of the water from the lettuce, etc. T he problem is on the inside of the lid; the clear “shield” that covers the gear mechanism, appears “fragile”. The first on arrived broke. They replaced it. However, I think if that removal shield is accidentally dropped, or incurs a significant impact, it will break. I did not find any replacement part available online.

We had this product's (blue-tinged) predecessor for >10 years - it was amazing. When finally it gave up we ordered TWO of this one, thinking we cannot go wrong, but were left disappointed.
The materials are different and the outside shell more brittle (one of the two spinners arrived cracked (the vendor accepted the return, but we did not want a replacement). This might be due to the now "dishwasher safe" feature, but we put the old bowl into the dishwasher as well, and it lasted >10years.
There is more work to assemble and disassemble now (prior product had only three parts, not four).
It also spins less easily than the predecessor.
The spinner still works - it's mostly the comparison with its predecessor that has made it a disappointment.

When am I going to get my purchase?

Too big

First one received was broken and quickly received a replacement (customer service responds to emails within 24 hours!) that is excellent! So easy to use and clean! I enjoy using Zyliss Kitchen products! =)

Love me some clean salad

I think it dries about as well as, but no better than, my previous ancient Zyliss spinner which I have had for close to 40 years and following breakage of various parts, had nursed back to usability several times during that period; the latest needed repairs would have been the most challenging, so I decided to buy a new one instead. The space-age architecture of the new spinning bowl takes up some space, thus decreasing the am't of lettuce that can be spun at a time, and I think does not produce drier lettuce. One thing to improve would be to make the lid easier to remove: I tend to need to run my fingers around the edge to find the lip that can be used to lift the edge. The pulling is easier with the bigger handle, so that's a plus. Pressing the Stop button doesn't "fluff up" the lettuce when I do it, so that claim seems a little silly. Overall, I'm pleased with it.

I eat salad nearly every day and I’ve been through a LOT of salad spinners. This one is the best one I have used. WAY better than OXO, Rosle, and Propworks. Definitely get this stainless steel one. Everything in it is better built than Zyliss’ plastic bowl versions.

I picked up a small Zyliss salad spinner years ago and it still is going strong. Purchased a new one for our lake chalet and even though the small size is no longer available I am so much happier with this product than other spinners I’ve owned.

so easy to use and prep my salads for the week
