"I bought this because I figured I have a small family and didn't need a large one, but I'm wishing I had a bigger bowl and faster spinner. I feel like I can spin and spin and my greens are still pretty wet. I try not to overload the spinner to allow for more water to escape, but it just doesn't seem to work as well as the monsters I'm used to from my childhood. I like the little brake option, though, as well as the non-slip ring which keeps it from bouncing off the counter while at top speeds!"
