Default Pls recommend easy-to-clean kitchen gadgets

After making Chicago-style Italian beef this week, I reflected on how
annoying it was to clean all the beef bits out of all the nooks and
crannies of the folding electric slicer. This one is a Toastmaster,
but the one it replaced was also a pain to clean. I like it because it
folds up fairly compactly when not in use, and the circular blade is
protected.
..
Which reminds me how much of a pain it is to clean our salad spinner.
It's a basket in an outer shell, with a perforated lid and then tthe
top lid and crank mechanism. That's a lot of stuff to wash by hand
everytime you make salad, which is usually every day or two around
here, and the pieces take up a lot of room in the dish drainer. And I
worry about crud buildup inside the slots that the water goes through.

Any recommendations for either a slicer or a spinner? The slicer has
to cut a rare beef roast paper thin.
