I had a great crank-style salad spinner that was getting old and also was really tough to use due to my arthritis.  I researched new salad spinners and watched an online video where they tested salad spinners and named this the best one, specifically noting that this one was great for arthritics.  That may be true but it doesn't dry the lettuce.  The spin appears feeble and pressing the button more doesn't make it spin any faster.  It takes longer and still I have to dry the lettuce by hand.  Plus the hard plastic bowl scratches extremely easily.  I imagine it wouldn't take long for this one to look as old as my previous one did and I had that for years.
