Dreamfarm Spina - Colander - White & Green

The idea behind this product is great because it’s one piece and easy to use. It is a bit small though and if you spin just a little too fast, the contents fly out over the top. You certainly can’t wash and dry a whole lettuce but it’s pretty good for small fruit and small quantities of lettuce.

A good purchase

This is a handy device and is getting used often since purchased. It isn’t as large as anticipated but works pretty well for two small salads. Light weight aids spinning in sink but feels just a little like it isn’t strong enough to last. But still very happy with it.

I love this colander. Was looking to buy a lettuce spinner and came across this colander instead for a much more reasonable price and certainly more than large enough for two people. It’s a very clever little contraption.

Easy to use!

I love this salad spinner! I've had some before that were super bulky and had so many parts to clean. This one is super simple and I love how you can fold the handle over to make it skinnier! It definitely rinsed my lettuce and spinach well and spins at a good speed. My toddler loved helping and it was easy enough that he could do it!!

Great combination spinner and colander.

The drying effectiveness of the Spina is equal to that of my other spinner. It doesn’t totally replace my other spinner with its accompanying bowl and lid, but is a very useful addition. It’s great that it can be used as a normal colander too, and nests inside other bowls to store in my cupboard. Also, it’s dishwasher safe. As I have a kitchen sink made from a textured material, it’s easier to spin inside a large smooth bowl due to better foot suction. The instructional video on the Dreamfarm website is helpful (as is their customer service with queries). I am pleased I bought it.

Great gadget!

I’m pleased with this product. I have a small kitchen and value the combined colander and spinner functions and the fold-in handle which all help with saving space in the dishwasher and when storing. It does what it claims to do and has made washing and drying berries very easy. Only downsides are the cost (bit expensive for what it is) and initially I found it tricky to lock the handle back into the colander position but I got the hang of it (push on the end of the handle nearest to the colander to lock it back into position while twisting the far end of the handle with your other hand).

Great salad spinner

Great versatile small spinner and drainer. Clever design. Retractable handle makes it easy to store. Just wish they also made one in a larger size.

Love the idea but….

A bit awkward. Needs to have a solid base to rest on for spinning which must be the sink since it sprays out water. Can only hold the upper handle to spin, any other spot will hinder spinning.Great for smaller capacities. I’m holding on to my 70’s spinner.

Meh…

I was excited about this one because the other models I’ve had with Cuisine Art, Oxo, etc were awful! Always breaking or the bowl getting these weird warps.This particular one is nice, I like the fact there’s no bowl, I don’t really need one and the handle folds neatly over into the basket when in storage. I was disappointed to find the suction cup handle didn’t quite stay firmly attached to the bottom of my sink during the spin. The suction would disengage and I often loose my grip on it. My salad flying everywhere is no bueno.

Not Bad

I think this product is very interesting and helpful. A lovely 2-in-1 product that does the job. At first I was a little confused on how to move it but after looking at the picture I had no issues. Now it's super easy! The only reason why I'm not putting 5 stars is because you can't fit a lot of produce in it. When getting the lettuce ready for my salad I had to use it twice to be able to clean all of my lettuce.
