This thing is now in my recycle bin! I broke my other OXO salad spinner and replaced it initially with this OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner, which is suppose to be the best. NOT! Fed up I then replaced the Good Grips with the SoftWorks, via Amazon, and it is way better. I was completely disappointed the Good Grips. I was like "how could they even sell this thing and what is up with all the good reviews." I don't know. The Good Grips does a horrible job of drying the lettuce whereas this SoftWorks is terrific. This SoftWorks basket spins way faster and is easier to get it spinning. The pump action is easier to use and the basket really gets spinning fast. I could hardly get the Good Grips spinning at all and I am a pretty strong dude. I think it spins faster because of the curved bottom where as this Good Grips bottom slows down the spinning action, not sure but the result of the SoftWorks is much better.

Also, I was concerned about this supposedly being smaller but it is not. It fits quite a bit more lettuce. I think that is because it has a taller basket. With the pump protruding down into the basket taking up space, basked height becomes critical and creates more room.

This is the salad spinner to buy!
