Cuisinart Large Spin Stop Salad Spinner- Wash, Spin & Dry Salad Greens, Fruits & Vegetables, 5qt, CTG-00-SAS1

This vegetable spinner is good quality and very easy to use. It works well and makes washing and drying vegetables much more convenient. Overall, I’m very satisfied and would recommend it.

Works great! You can rinse the leaves in the basket if water is scarce (not under faucet), dump out the dirty water, then spin to dry. You can also store your lettuce in the bowl. Just the right size for our kitchen.

Update: I bought the 5 qt after a positive experience with the 3 qt version (as described below), but had to return it as the 5 qt had a different and very noisy, rattling spin mechanism, with a brake that doesn't even work. It was impossible to use. Stick to the 3 qt and look elsewhere if you need a bigger version! The 3 qt spinner holds a bunch of herbs or a couple of large leaves of romaine (torn into two to fit). It's good for a salad-plate size of salad, but we should all be eating more greens, so for a dinner-plate size salad, I got the 5 qt spinner as well. Compared to my other salad spinners, this one is made of stiff, hard acrylic plastic (the clear bowl says it's a Number 6 plastic). If you drop it, it will crack, so be careful. The best thing about the spinning mechanism is the oversized green knob which is easy to hold as you turn it. The spinning action, compared to my other salad spinner, is very smooth and vigorous and dries the greens fast. The annoying thing about this model is the catch/lock thing. You can see it in the picture. On the white lid, there is a green tab that you have to fasten before you close the lid. It's fiddly. On the opposite end, there is a white bracket (hard to see in picture). So fastening the lid is a 2 step procedure - first you position the white bracket so it catches the rim of the clear bowl. Then you position the green tab and lock it down. Sometimes when you do this, the knob wouldn't turn, which means there was a misalignment, so you have to undo everything and refit the lid again. My other salad spinners don't have this issue. Other than this flaw, this is a good salad spinner, dishwasher safe and relatively sturdy.

I’ve had this salad spinner for over three years now, and I still love it. It’s sturdy, durable, and really easy to use. It does a great job cleaning and drying salad greens, fruits, and veggies, and I’ve even used it to wash some jewelry. It makes prepping fresh produce so much quicker and less messy. I don’t have any real complaints, though I wouldn’t recommend it for fragile berries. My raspberries didn’t survive the spin. This is a great tool for anyone who eats salad regularly and doesn’t rely on prewashed greens. For me, it’s an easy 5 out of 5 stars.

Great item. Perfect size. Quality. Great price.

Excellent functionally. But made of hard plastic and makes me worried if it will last long or will crack soon. Capacity wise its small. Spins very well. Gets rid of water, most of it. Well designed.

Simple design that works well. Spins up really easily and quickly. It takes a bit of shaking and extra spinning to really get a large load of green to dry, but much easier than other methods. I use this all the time. Fairly compact but will do about half a head of lettuce at a time. Time saver for sure.

The product works great. When I received it though there was a tiny piece of plastic that left in the box when I unpacked it. Later, I figured out it was a tiny tab that keeps the latches secure. I am still able to get it to work so I was not going to return it (although I should have). Called Cuisinart and they could not send me a replacement latch, they said I should call Amazon and just return the entire spinner.

Excelente compra, entrega o que promete

Got a generic low quality knock-off, instead of Cuisinart

Cabe más o menos media lechuga, pero funciona bien. Aunque se sale el agua por los lados, no solo por el agujero donde debe salir. Pero no es tan malo

This is a good salad spinner - gets all the water off. It is small - there are 2 of us, so that's perfect - if you had to make a big salad for 4+ - you'd need a bigger one or 2 loads. It is quick and the mechanical operation is very smooth - so that's still OK for the odd occasion. Worth buying!
