I have been wanting to replace our old, oversized, difficult to use salad spinner which we never use with one that was smaller and better designed for a while now, and I finally did it. I decided to purchase the OXO Good Grips Little Salad and Herb Spinner ($24.99) and could not be happier with with my choice! It just arrived yesterday and I have already used it to dry salad greens as well as blueberries - it worked perfectly for both. The pump-style spinner is so much easier to use than the handle we had to turn on our old one. The bottom has a sturdy nonslip surface that keeps the spinner firmly in place while in use. I like the fact that the bowl is attractive enough to be used for serving, and the basket can be removed and used as a colander. It even has a brake button to stop the spinning as well as a lock that holds the pump button down and out of the way until needed. This salad spinner is easy to clean and the smaller size is so much more convenient to use and store. I don't know why it took me so long to replace our old salad spinner, but this new one will definitely be getting a lot of use!
