Does this spinner have a break? Does it have a hose at the base for draining spun out water?

No brake, I just let it stop spinning on its own. I even pull the top off and let it stop that way. the unit I got did have a short hose to drain the spinner. I have been very pleased with salad spinner!

No "brake" if that is what you meant. You cannot just hold the handle and stop it either without danger of stripping the gears. No hose at base, just a hole for water to come out.

There is no break, does have a hose for draining at the base. When fully loaded still stops spinning on its own pretty quick.

No; I have found the best hose reel I have used. Several plastic reels broke after only one years use. Water flow is good since hose is properly reeled and unreeled from the drum

ours did spin, it was a bit annoying. couldn't find a way to keep it stationery. Since it broke after second use I threw it away. Wish I'd known.

No. There are much better spinners. I am not impressed with this one. Pretty flimsy,

Hi Diane, honestly, I don't remember, gave it to my grandson and it didn't last long. The plastic spinner broke and he is not rough with things. Good luck. Jo Ann

I'm sure the ball doesn't know a thing, but when it is spinning during the spin cycle, the spinning causes the lid to release and the softener comes out of the ball and into the water as the washer refills for the rinse.

The bowl catches the water, I usually dump it out after one or two spins. For small fruits like blueberries/strawberries, I let them sit in the water to soak a little before I drain them. I really like this spinner, it is good for 2 people.

My suspicion is that the reason people have it break so quickly is because they run it with the load unbalanced. It is INCREDIBLY difficult to get the load properly balanced, and if you allow it to run unbalanced it destroys the motor. I've had mine for four months, and it hasn't broken yet, but we shall see. Personally, I wouldn't buy it again because of the load balancing issue, even if it doesn't break. When this one bites the dust, I'm going to look for one that is shorter and fatter (since I think the shape of it is a factor in why it's hard to balance the load), and if I can't find one, I'm just going to let my clothes line dry.

There is a lid that hinges up from the top back so you have access to the hose. There is no shelf or storage. This is my third suncast automatic winder by water power. It has broken down on me three times. The plastic gears do not mesh we well and will dislodge. I finally used nuts and bolts to secure them. I have to assist the hose as it is being wound. It looks great from the outside and I hoped to have a nice looking reel for my landscape, but is to frustrating for my wife to operate. That is the reason I got these in the first place, because it is to hard for her to hand reel the hose. I've had no problem with the original suncast water winders.

Seems like a common problem. I had two of those compressors and they both exhibited similar symptoms after a couple of years of very light use. Most likely the motor is shot. So, while it can spin when there is no load, i.e. hose is not attached, it does not have enough torque to start spinning under load.

This is a spin-cast rod which uses a pushbutton reel. If you are using a spinning reel, it goes on a spinning rod. Some reels have a switch that allows you to unwind without opening the bail or pushing the release button (spincast). That is what I prefer. If not, cup your can over the bail or opening so you can control the release of the line as you extend the rod.

it has just one spin side and the other is for the water. You just put the mop into the water and then put into the spin and step on the peddle and it will wring out the excess water and you are ready to mop. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

That's never been a problem; I just rinse the lid and put it in the dish drainer. The cord is nylon or something that dries easily. I've never tried the pump-style spinners, however.

This lid has a few parts snapped together and spinner is enclosed. It snaps off base completely but doesn't seem it would come completely apart without breaking it. I have never needed to take it apart however. I just rinse pieces in hot water after using. It's a good spinner!

Yes, it does, at least it does not stay closed somImwould assume it is a sping.

No - you just wind the hose around it manually. There is no reel to "wind it up".

Yes. there is a reservoir and it has a pump which squirts a stream of water from the hose. the hose ranges about a foot and a half and rolls up on a spindle.
