PrepWorks 4 Qt Collapsible Salad Spinner – Space-Saving, BPA-Free, Easy-to-Use for Quick Salad Washing & Drying, Dishwasher Safe

Update after a couple of years use: It still works and I still give it 5 stars, BUT, I have to take back a bit of what I wrote originally. The spinner isn't completely dishwasher safe. I put the inner basket on the bottom rack, by mistake, and it got a warp on one side, it's flat on the side that was facing down for about 3 inches. This has led to a couple of problems. First, a tear has started developing in the inner basket at the flattened part that is slowly getting worse as I collapse and un-collapse it. Second, because of the flattened side it doesn't spin quite as well as it once did...still spins if I position the basket just so, but doesn't do as good a job as it once did. I still think this spinner is fine in the dishwasher ON THE TOP SHELF, though. And everything else I wrote about it I still stand by. I've used this a dozen times in the last couple of months and it hasn't disappointed me once! This is a 3 in one device: 1. it's a salad spinner and it does a good job at that; 2. it's a colander for when a quick rinse is all you need; and 3. it's a bowl, just right to hold a salad for 2 or 3 people. To top it off, it really does collapse into a small easily stored disc, and every part of it is safe in the dishwasher...and gets clean even when collapsed! Now, I've had a more expensive, bigger salad spinner for years and it still works just fine, but that one is big, difficult to store and although you can put the bowl and colander into the dishwasher just try getting either into the top rack. This old baby only got used every month or two. It's much easier to pull the Progressive CSS-2 out of the cabinet, pop it open and use it. Now I have salads a couple of times a week rather than once or twice a month. Some folks say it's hard to open, close and use, but it hasn't been hard at all for me, nor any other member of the family. So far I've seen nothing that would stop the Progressive CSS-2 from being a Five Star buy. I'm even buying another as a gift. How well will it last? Heck! I don't know, but 2 months of pretty heavy use and it looks to be good as new. If it only lasts a year or two it will be worth the price and it might last a lot longer than that. Time will tell.

I love this salad spinner. This is the 2nd one I’ve owned over 15 years. It’s so nice that it collapses to save space. It’s very easy to use and dry the lettuce perfectly.

This salad spinner is much more convenient than my previous OXO brand spinner. It’s not quite the same level of quality (the spinning mechanism on the lid) but it gets the job done. My lettuce is always dry after several spins. I love how it collapses for easy storage which was the selling point for me. It’s top rack dishwasher safe as well!

Years ago I bought the original version of this spinner--the one with the green collapsible ring. I loved it!!! I could fit an entire head of green leaf lettuce in it, wedge it into the corner of my sink, and crank it so fast that the lettuce was almost dry with a 10-second spin. Over the years, however, dark areas began to appear in random places on the green ring. I tried everything to remove them, but nothing worked. I'm sure that was my fault for not thoroughly drying it before storing it. After many years of good service, the collapsible ring began to deteriorate, so I had to find another spinner. Little did I know at the beginning of my search that not all salad spinners are equal. Because my old Progressive Prepworks spinner did not have a mechanism extending down into the bowl, an entire head of lettuce could fit inside. But most of the other spinners have mechanisms extending into the bowls, limiting space in side the bowl itself. That also meant the spinner itself took up a lot of space in my cabinets. Again, another long search for a good spinner. The OXO got good reviews, but try as I might pumping that handle as fast as I could, I couldn't get it to spin fast enough to get the water off the lettuce. In addition, it wouldn't hold a full head of lettuce. This grey edition of the Progressive green spinner is probably the best out there but it's a little more difficult to spin. I don't know why, but it takes more effort than the green one so I can't get the lettuce as dry. So given a choice between it and its predecessor, I'd take the green one. But compared to all the others I looked at, it's the best.

I absolutely LOVE this salad spinner. As I'm getting older & wiser, I'm making a list of things everyone should have & this product is near the top of the list. It works really well getting the excess water off of the lettuce and the best thing I discovered this summer is that the lettuce seems to last a lot longer when I store it in this container in the crisper drawer of the fridge. I grew a lot of lettuce in my garden this summer, so much that I couldn't eat it fast enough & this product kept it clean, fresh & crisp. I raved about it so much to my mom & sister in law that they said they wanted one. So when I gave them each one for Christmas, you would've thought they won the lottery by their reactions! I can't say enough good things about this salad spinner & I love that it's collapsible for storage too. Great product! Never thought I'd be so excited about a salad spinner but as you get older, it's the little things that make a big difference.

Love it. Packs compactly. Cleans easily. Does the job very well. When lazy can use it as a salad bowl - no need to transfer it to a glass or pottery bowl.

Love this collapsible salad spinner! Very easy to use.

Works good. I don’t like the handle but gets the job done. Easy to collapse and commander is durable.

the collapsible feature is so awesome, so easy to keep yet also large enough to use.

Brilliant so pleased i can buy lettuce rather than salad bags and great to store away

Vale o preço 🤗 dura muito, Até os gatos gostaram.

Muy facil de utilizar , facil y practico para lavar y guardar 100 % recomendado Muy buena calidad

We had a salad spinner previously and found it cumbersome to store. This spinner does a great job of soaking, straining and spinner lettuce and fruits with the two collapsible pieces. Nice feature on the spinner is that is works in both directions that is great for right and left handed use.
