A self retracting pull cord makes washing and drying of fruit and vegetables quick and easy, while an integrated brake in the lid easily stops spinning basket with the push of a button. To use, remove the lid with the pull cord handle and first expand the inner basket. Next, expand the outer bowl prior to spinning fruits and vegetables. 5-quart capacity when expanded; measures 10.5-inch in diameter and 3 inches high when collapsed.

1. Better out there

   Great that it is collapsible and good for storage but the primary function is to remove water. Compared to other salad spinners that I have used, those spinners had openings on the side and bottom not just on the bottom as on the Progressive. The additional slots / openings allows the removal of more water. Definitely not a home run.

2. Great Spinner

   This appears to be a high quality spinner, well made and sturdy. A lot of thought went into the design and it is the nicest spinner I have seen. A bit stiff to collapse but with use that should become easier.

3. Well made product

   I got one for Christmas and I love it. It's a well made product. It's collapsible so it take up less room. I like the pull string better than the ones you crank and the lid disassembles for cleaning. It's very well thought out.

   My daughter was thrilled to receive this as a Christmas gift. She lives in Boston and space for storing things is a big problem, so this was perfect.

5. Cord broke after less than ten uses

   We were very excited to receive this item as a gift. After about ten uses of spinning salad greens (not overloaded or something obscure) the cord broke. It showed significant signs of fraying and abrasion. We pulled the handle just a few times for each drying cycle. We'll be searching online for similar experiences and potential fixes, we'd love to get it back up and running.
