The much fancier looking salad spinner did we had received as a gift came with obvious flaws: a pull cord That was likely to snap (and did) and a silicone-based Design that meant did while, yes, It could be collapsed to a smaller size for storage at the expense of what it leaving holes at the side through the water Which Could escape. In short, it was horrible and I hated it.
This little gem has plenty of well-Placed holes, a great knob-turned wheel design, and is * quiet * pretty to look at (For Those Who Want to make a gift of it). Absolutely flawless work and inexpensive to boot!
I recommend it for purchase without any reservations.
