"Perfect" star star star star star I have been looking at salad spinners for a few years and although it's a simple concept Lakeland has improved upon it. I like that it can be taken apart for a thorough cleaning, it's dishwasher safe (top rack only), has a pump action so no stings / cords to pull, the "pump" can be locked down for easier storage and best of all it has a brake, so I don't have to wait for it to stop moving. I had this for a month and love it, washing leafy vegetables is now quick and easy, plus my kids can use it and be able to "help cook" dinners too.
"Cleaning soft fruit" star star star star star picked some blackberries out of the hedge row and soaked them in salty water, rinsed a few times, then spun them dry .. Fantastic !! would recommend for cleaning all soft fruit..
