Balance 1 wringer purchased in September 2010 and broken in 2013. Another bought in July 2013 and broken in March 2014, traded by Amazon in April 2014 without issue. The last is still broken in December 2014. The gears are in a rotten plastic begins to unravel dice the 2nd or 3rd use. Result it does not spin. So a product ban (9 months before breaking completely). Too bad I will not return to a big thing but wrung collapsible salad ... I hope.
