I've never owned one, and never will. I write this review as once prospective purchaser/owner. If people can write reviews of rental cars, I feel justified in writing a review even though I don't own this car.

If you look at my username, it says Aleroluver. I have wanted an Oldsmobile Alero for their entire existence. I am in love with everything about the way those cars look and feel.

I have yet to find one of their products that was not good quality. This salad spinner is no exception. I do not eat salad a lot, maybe twice a month.

I've probably used it 20 times at the most. I'm still on the original roll of bags that came with the machine. Using the machine is easy one you get the hang of it.
