What is a cheap but good salad spinner to buy?

I got one at the local discount chain for $10. Check discount stores for that sort of thing.

I simply use a clean and largish dish cloth – place my greens in the center, gather up the corners and swing away. It works just as well without me having to spend an extra cent.

I picked one up at Ikea that works fine. Think it was a couple of dollars! I usually forget to use it though and do what @intrepidium suggests :D

I got an OXO one at Target a few years ago in about that price range. I love it. Don’t know the current price.

It is one of the few gadgets that I use regularly. They are all cheap and should last a lifetime unless you try to dry your cat in it. (There’s more than one way to spin a cat.)

Mine was expensive, but I would bet the cheap ones work just fine. I just wanted to chime in and say salad spinners are awesome.

Thank you all for your kind words of knowledge and encouragement (not to mention good natures). I finally did make up my mind and bought a salad spinner from Wal-Mart. I think I’m going to love this thing!
