IBILI Large Salad Spinner – 6.34 Qt Lettuce, Vegetable, and Fruit Washer and Dryer with Non-Slip Base, Brake Button for Quick Stop, Super-Fast Operation, Dishwasher Safe, Made in Spain

I rarely take time to review a service or product (and usually when I'm unhappy with my purchase), but I wanted to share my thoughts on this product. My background is engineering, but I took a few years off to pursue my culinary passion, attending Le Cordon Bleu and working in a few high end professional kitchens around the country. It was this background that made me realize that the best tools in a kitchen are 1) a quality knife, 2) great pots/pans, and 3) a durable salad spinner.It wasn't until I attained my culinary knowledge that I came to appreciate the versatility of a good salad spinner. I keep a salad in the fridge ass a go to for a healthy lunch or to use up chicken and seafood from the prior evening's dinner.Over the part 15 years I have gone thru dozens of salad spinners (and still have more than a half dozen in my basement ready to donate to charity).The push top ones don't work for me since the compression mechanism takes up nearly half of the bowl volume. I've gone thru literally dozens of the pull string variety with either the string breaking, or the negator spring (which rewinds the string back in for the next pull) failing.After breaking the last pull string recently, I ordered 3 more of the pull string models and they all failed within 2 months. These were cheap/inexpensive spinners where springs broke and the bowls cracked as well.I was getting ready to pull my 5 gallon professional model out of the basement, but even tho my family and I eat salad regularly, we don't need 5 galloons of it in the fridge, and the unit is bulky and difficult to use due to its size and lack of braking feature.So I jumped on Amazon and selected 3 units, 2 inexpensive ones and the more costly Ibili model. I don't normally go for the crank variety, but since it was a side crank (a feature I hadn't seen before), I assumed the mechanism wouldn't take up as much of the bowl space as the other crank models I've used.Bottom line, this turned out to be the absolute BEST salad spinner I've ever purchased, turning much smoother than any other salad spinner I've ever used. The brake stops the spinning promptly. The volume of the bowl is the biggest capacity I've ever used, outside of a professional kitchen, and sturdier than any outside of a professional model. And as an engineer, the quality/durability of this tool is incredible.I had never heard of Ibili before, but if this spinner is indicative of their other products, I will definitely consider them for my future kitchen needs.

I have gone through so many salad spinners and finally found the one!!This is Easy to spin and it’s a nice large size.It does shake a bit while spinning, but nothing too bad.

Spinning is very efficient, easy to spin and removes the water off the salad better than any other spinner I've tried.

Buena capacidad, buen diámetro, alta velocidad de giro, la palanca a un costado es más cómoda que todos los de manivela superior, amén que permite velocidades de centrifugado más altas. Excelente centrifugador de vegetales. Sencillo, sin demasiadas piezas móviles excepto las necesarias.

Had one like this for 10 plus years. It fell out of the dish drainer onto the tile floor. The handle broke.I wanted one just like it, it is worth the expense for the quality, easy to use, and unless I let it fall out of the dish drainer again. It will last a long time.

Love it..it works well
