I got an OxO Good Grips salad spinner two years ago. I worked very well for
about 18 months. Then, the top and bottom part of the lid separated..
After that it didn't work well and finally the gear that makes it spin fell
down the garbage disposal and got ground-up and became useless. I am also
in search of a new salad spinner. I found a couple cheap models yesterday
at a discount store and they didn't even work well right out of the box. I
found another one under the Westinghouse brand that was electric. It
combined the functions of a food processor's slicing and shredding disks and
also uses a motor to spin the salad dry. It looked interesting but the
price was $50 -- twice what the OxO model cost.
