I bought the part in March 2011 and had assumed that it is exactly as long as keeps my old salad spinner (10 years). Unfortunately, the bowl got a crack after about 1 year. The spinner was still usable, the bowl but not broken out as a decorative salad bowl, over the past 3 years are then repeatedly plastic parts from the lid, the screen has also become cracked and last week she then with the broken away portion in the lid the function completely abandoned and had to be disposed of. I need now is a new, but will not buy me this because of durability.
