The Aqua Vent Technology removes more water. A unique basket evenly distributes the salad and enhances water removal. With just a single pump of the lever, you can smoothly and effortlessly spin the water from your salad. You can allow your salad to spin freely until it settles or use the brake button to stop the spin when it's convenient for you. The Zyliss Swift Dry Salad Spinner makes the process of creating salads effortless allowing you to go from prep to serve in just a couple steps. Once you're done removing the water from your lettuce, simply pour your lettuce into the serving bowl and mix with any additional ingredients of your choice. When you're finished serving, simply place the pump lid on top of your serving bowl, using the lock button to lock in the freshness, and store in your refrigerator. Zyliss has designed the Swift Dry Salad Spinner for ease of use from top to bottom. With this in mind, the Swift Dry Salad Spinner also has a dishwasher safe bowl. Simply rinse the top of the spinner lid under water separately and place the salad spinner bowl in the dishwasher. From the beginning, Zyliss has built products with quality in mind. This is why we also guarantee the Swift Dry Salad Spinner for 5 years. Your satisfaction is important to us.
