The risk of microplastic exposure from using a salad spinner is considered lower than other plastic uses because:

The process is brief: You're only using the spinner for a short time to dry your greens, not for prolonged contact with food.

Temperature exposure is minimal: Unlike storing hot food in plastic or using plastic wrap, the temperature of the greens and spinner during use is relatively low.
The plastic is likely durable: Salad spinners are generally made from a thicker, more durable plastic than some other food storage contain

The biggest complaint about this spinner is the clear outer bowl cracks very easily. Tons of reviews stating this. The rest of the spinner seems ok. It does have a lifetime warranty per Cuisinart's website (https://www.cuisinart.com/salad-s...-SAS1.html)but you'll have to decide if it's worth going through the hassle each time to get a replacement.

I really do need a salad spinner though

Lowest price per CCC.
I have this for around 10 years and it still works great.

I stopped using this after learning how harmful microplastics are. The plastic salad spinner was one of the worst offenders, generating a lot of plastic dust that ends up in our food.

Unfortunately I haven't seen a salad spinner with a non-plastic spinner top. I've seen ones with glass and metal bowls but not a top spinner with metal gears. Until I actually see plastic dust or shavings on the food or spinner I'll assume it's ok.

  1. "Brief Process" doesn't equal minimal wear
    • Even though salad spinners are used for short durations, the mechanical intensity of the spinning process creates considerable friction. It's not just about duration; it's about the force, speed, and repeated impacts of plastic components against one another.
    • Repeated short-term friction (e.g., using the spinner multiple times weekly) can accumulate over months or years. The cumulative abrasion from frequent brief uses is substantial.
  2. Temperature isn't the only factor
    • While heat does accelerate plastic breakdown, mechanical abrasion is also a significant source of plastic microparticles. Salad spinners generate plastic dust primarily through mechanical friction and abrasion—not thermal breakdown.
    • Plastic doesn't require high temperatures to degrade; physical friction alone can significantly wear down the material, causing particles to detach, especially if the plastic is softer (like polypropylene).
  3. Durability misunderstood
    • Salad spinners indeed tend to use thicker plastic, but thickness doesn't inherently mean resistance to abrasion. Durability against cracking or breaking doesn't necessarily equate to reduced microplastic shedding.
    • Many salad spinners use plastics like polypropylene, which, while safe and sturdy enough for everyday usage, are relatively softer plastics prone to gradual micro-abrasion. A "sturdy" plastic can still degrade slowly at the surface level, creating fine plastic dust over time.

Microplastics and plastic dust are tiny and often invisible to the naked eye. A spinner might look intact, clean, and sturdy, but microscopic abrasions constantly occur on its surface. Also, unlike storage containers, where food might sit passively, salad spinners actively disperse microparticles onto food due to the centrifugal action, increasing the likelihood of ingestion.

[EDIT]
These are just my two cents on the topic of microplastics and their potential harm. It's true that we currently don't have enough definitive data to fully understand how damaging microplastics might be in the long term. However, some studies have indicated possible negative health effects, and certain countries are actively increasing awareness about microplastic exposure.

I'm not suggesting that everyone immediately "stop using plastics because they're harmful!" Instead, I believe it's sensible to minimize exposure to microplastics whenever reasonably possible, as a proactive measure for health—especially considering potential long-term risks.

Package tape (clear) a brand new one out of the box to make it more rigid and reinforce it....you bring it out once a year you aren't looking to win a beauty contest...when are you ever going to need to see the sides inside it 😂

lol looks just like Cuisinart's. Did the factory that makes Cuisinart's spinner make it for local sellers too?

Thanks for your comment. I have this exact one and ordered another one. I had idea about the lifetime warranty. I just contacted them and showed them a picture of my cracked unit and they shipped me a new one today.
