The mechanism seems robust, it should last. Likewise, leave the material and the workmanship a good impression, the parts are fit and look very stable. In general I feel the crank mechanism neither better nor worse than a Zugseilmechanik, that's probably a matter of personal taste, you have to try it yourself halt.
The silicone base the spin is slipping even the kitchen table. With one hand you hold it firmly in a recessed grip, with the other, the crank is turned. She is both the left and right-handed to use.
Can be cleaned all the parts in the dishwasher. The cover with the crank mechanism can not be completely dismantled itself, here theoretically unsanitary debris could collect. When the spin but only used for salads and herbs, I really see only a theoretical risk that is compensated by the dishwasher resistance again.
Both the bowl and the screen can also be used for other purposes. The screen is, for example, also for draining pasta and the big bowl with spout also makes a serving dish on the table still looks good. Here, however, disturbs the spike in the middle, has the task of keeping the screen center.
All in all, the Moulinex salad spinner a very practical kitchen helpers large, chic and functional. The above restrictions are more secondary in nature and may therefore diminish the positive judgment little.
