A salad spinner is the most efficient way to get your salad greens clean and dry. If you're like me you want to have as many leafy green vegetables as possble in your diet. With all of the e coli and other bacteria scares, you want to get them really clean. Yes you can saute them or boil them to kill the bugs, but if you love eating crisp and crunchy leafy greens raw in salads, you need to get them clean. And it's hard to get them really clean and then dry. If you don't dry them properly, they will quickly wilt - resulting in a loss of very expensive food. Can you believe the asking price for a head of lettuce these days?
Of the many salad spinners available on Amazon, five have gotten high marks and consistently good ratings - the Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner, Starfrit Salad Spinner, Progressive International Salad Spinner, Zyliss Easy Spin Salad Spinner, and the Oxo Stainless Steel Salad Spinner. Here's some information and specifications on each of them, to help you choose which one is for you.
I love shopping on Amazon. You get name brands, lots of customer reviews to check out, great prices, convenience, and a liberal return policy.

I got one of these for Christmas. It's the one that collapses with the green band on the middle. It has an amazing spin action. Love it!
