282605 Sun Jan 22 14:34:40 -0800 2006 16 31 Home Cooking 0 1506509 My old, no-name one is about to bite the dust after we cooked at a friend's house realized how slick and easy to use her Zyliss was. But she's had hers for years, and it's a discontinued model. So I'd love to know which one hounds recommend - Zyliss, Oxo or ??? TIA Sun Jan 22 14:34:40 -0800 2006 0 judybird 1 1506511 Love my OXO. Sun Jan 22 14:44:08 -0800 2006 1506509 0 Claire 1 1506519 Oxo. I heard there could be problems with Oxos cord. I don''t want to chance it. -Becca Sun Jan 22 15:36:14 -0800 2006 1506509 0 Becca Porter 2 1506531 Oxos do not have cords, unless they are internal. Sun Jan 22 16:24:32 -0800 2006 1506519 0 Tracy L. 3 1506532 There is no cord in an OXO salad spinner. Sun Jan 22 16:25:54 -0800 2006 1506531 0 wally 4 1506570 I meant Zyliss. Thanks for the correction. -Becca Sun Jan 22 21:46:07 -0800 2006 1506532 0 Becca Porter 1 1506520 I've got an ancient Tupperware spinner that's been a workhorse in my kitchen. I fully plan on purchasing an OXO Pump upon its demise. Sun Jan 22 15:39:22 -0800 2006 1506509 0 The Ranger 2 1506523 My Tupperware one works great, but it makes a weird science fiction type noise while spinning that scares my cats. Do the others do this also? Sun Jan 22 15:58:39 -0800 2006 1506520 0 coll 1 1506521 There is one answer only: Oxo pump. Sun Jan 22 15:50:39 -0800 2006 1506509 0 Karl S 1 1506530 Our OXO works and works and works. Wouldn't use anything else. Sun Jan 22 16:20:22 -0800 2006 1506509 0 Monty 1 1506536 I heart my Oxo. Sun Jan 22 16:39:54 -0800 2006 1506509 0 smokey 1 1506543 I have had a Copco for years and years. It just keeps on going. Hand cranked from the top. I don't even know if they are still being made. I like the larger capacity that they have. Sun Jan 22 17:47:55 -0800 2006 1506509 0 Candy 2 1506595 They also worked better at drying. I haven't been able to find another one. I am using OXO but the bowl is more fragile than the Copco spinner. Mon Jan 23 02:15:05 -0800 2006 1506543 0 wally 1 1506547 I've been using an Oxo large ever since my previous no name failed, it does a great job even on heaviers items like mushrooms. I also bought the small basket that fits inside for items like berries and such. Sun Jan 22 18:55:21 -0800 2006 1506509 0 Larry 2 1506550 I've had 2 Oxo's, large and small. The large one warped and the small one's too small. I was at Costco a few months ago and saw a Kitchen Aid spinner for $15. I bought it and it's great. It has these separator panels which keep the lettuce from bunching up. It works fine without the panels as well. I love it. Sun Jan 22 19:04:05 -0800 2006 1506547 0 oakjoan 3 1506565 I've had the large Oxo pump for 4 years or so - use it several times/weeek and love love love it. No signs of warp or even wear! Sun Jan 22 21:25:45 -0800 2006 1506550 0 gansu girl 1 1506637 And the winner is Oxo by about 9 to 1. Thanks, everybody, I'm heading off to BB&B, 20% off coupon in hand.
