Emsa 512991 Turboline folding salad spinner, 4.5 litres, transparent/white/green

Only used this once but found it dried salad leaves well picked from garden and washed. Bigger than I thought but it does collapse down very well.

I was instantly impressed by the apparent quality and sturdiness of this Spinner. There is an integral pull cord to get it spinning and a press button brake to stop rotation. The whole thing collapses in on itself for storage. Only time will tell if I’m right about the quality and longevity but after several uses all is looking good up till now.

Bought to replace a very old one . Works well & is easy to use & clean. It’s the best way I know to dry lettuce quickly. My old one had holes in the bottom of the spinner so that water could flow thru’ this one has a solid bottom container but I’m finding it ok. The knob that you use to turn it comes off rather easily , but is easy to put back on .

Works well, and has a large bowl to collect the water. You can tip that out and then use the bowl to serve the salad. My old one had holes in the bowl to let the water out so you didn't have to empty it, but after 30 years + , it died! This was the best alternative, and I bought two, one for me and one as a gift. Although it's easy enough to wash, like all salad spinners, it's hard to get all the water droplets off the lid. It could do with a little handle or lip on the lid so you could hold it over the sink and spin it to dry it.

Well, lucky I am not an old lady, but an old silly man. My bad, the item is a pull cord and my old spinner w[dried the salad better, but it was my fault for not reading the add properly. lot of money for for something £10 could do better.Jero

Great from making sure lettuce is properly dry.In any other life I would say having a salad spinner is not essential and trying to solve a problem that doesn't exsist ! In reality making a salad with fresh lettuce means washing it first and unless you have time to wait for it to dry you are in for wet salad, this is particularly frustrating when making a salad for a packed lunch later. A few seconds in the spinner and the lettuce is dry meaning no soggy lunches for me!

Bought this for my daughter, who uses it all the time. It does what its supposed to and is durable and easy to clean. My only negative comment would be that it takes up a lot of room in a press as it's a bit big. But if storage isn't an issue then its brilliant and great value for money.

Bought this to replace a 40 yo non-callapsable one and I like it. Took me a while to realise that both bits collapse but it is easy to expand an collapse and spins the salad ok.Some spinners allow you to add dressing and then spin. This one doesn't but I think putting dressing on in a spinner just makes for more washing up.
