Choice Food Prep 5 Gallon Salad Spinner / Dryer

This is a nice product for the price but it will break over time with regular use. I have purchased two in the last couple of years.

This salad spinner has saved us so much time compared to using a residential-sized spinner for the greens we harvest on our farm. We can easily load 1-2 pounds of greens at a time without overloading it. We have had to remove the top plate to reset the gears on the handle once when it stopped spinning. Also, the drainage tube isn't sealed to the bottom of the spinner, so water only funnels out of the tube when there is an excessive amount of water in the spinner, otherwise it just dribbles out of the hole into which the drainage tube fits. Overall, though, very worthwhile!

Great item to clean your greens. Sometimes I like to crank it up as fast as I can and pretend that I am churning butter like it's the 1800s

Very disappointed with this salad spinner. I would not even give this one star Is the product defective? Yes it is difficult to grab and use BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY Is it does not dry the salad Salad stays wet and turns the salad bad Waste of my money very disappointed

This thing is a monster! Best to use in a bay sink to make it easier to dump out water. Crank turns smoothly for quick drying.

This is what you need if you process a lot of lettuce in your restaurant. I used to have a salad spinner for home use and could spin just 1 lettuce at a time. With this spinner, i'm able to process 5-6 heads of lettuce at the time. This allows me to spend less time in the set up of the salad bar and less costs in labor. It has a drain hose that takes all the water out of the base. It's a bit oversized if your kitchen is small.

Amazing, perfect to keep you lettuce more alive, when you use this spinner the lettuce gets real dry with no watter so it can work for like 5 or 6 days. so its perfect.

This is a nice quality salad spinner dryer. Holds up well to many uses and is cleans easily. Does a good job of washing various kinds of lettuce and greens.

This item is awesome, and well built! We use this in our salad shop to clean our lettuce and leafy greens. The spinner is sturdy, and there is a little hose at the bottom that disposes of the excess water right into a sink. LOVE IT!!

We used the spinner twice and the ball bearing fell out of the unit. This is not covered in parts and there is no warranty on this item. We missed the return window by two weeks and are out of luck. I would not recommend this unit as it did not hold up.

First, I did not receive the hose that went with this device, but I am not sure if would have been helpful. This thing is big! Love that, as I wanted to use it for another purpose, aside of draining lettuce. I have been using it to clean and drain greens, as in collard and kale greens. The basket inside is perfect for that. When using it as designed, the water does not drain well, out of the small hole in the bottom. I had another hose of that size, and it did not work with the hose either. So I gently drilled several more holes in the bottom, and problem solved. I have been able to rinse and spin 6 pounds of greens at a time. Probably could do more, but I not in a rush. The spinner does not seem particularly sturdy, so I go easy on that Read More

works great! we spin lots of different items with this to get the water off and it works fast and well.

This product initially we thought was a luxury item and not a necessity but one of our cooks was begging for an easier way to dry the salad so we bought it and it is an absolute must! It is very easy to operate, just as easy to clean, and saves money by cutting back the time the staff usually spends drying lettuce so they can work on other things.

Works Great! Thank you!

Quality Product. Heavy though

Sturdy and light just a little tight on the handle

This is the big boy. Didn't realize how big it was when we ordered it, hence why I'm mentioning it, but it fits in a standard sized triple sink no problem, and the insert and bucket fit in the dishmachine. The drain hole could stand to be a little bit larger.

This makes our salads dry without it getting soft or soggy. Leaves the leaves nice and crispy. A must for salads!
