I ordered this salad spinner as a replacement for a 15-year old Zyliss spinner that finally wore out. I like the size of the new spinner and the non-slip base, but it is too cumbersome for my almost daily use. The plunger that makes it spin locks automatically when the stop button is applied. Removing the top portion reveals an inner lid that must also be removed to take out the lettuce. Then the whole thing needs to be reassembled and unlocked before the next batch of lettuce can be spun dry. Maybe the inner lid is supposed to come out together with the top? (Mine didnt.)  Im too accustomed to the efficiency and simplicity of my old Zyliss to appreciate the Oxo model. I have several other Oxo kitchen items, and they all work well for me. However, this spinner is being returned, and Ive ordered a new Zyliss.
