How do you use this product? Do you use the handle to spin the basket? The handle is at an awkward angle and it is very hard to turn.

If you find it hard to turn this maybe the reason. Be sure the basket is really centered in the bowl before you close the lid or it won't spin easily. In the middle of the handle there is a button. Click that button to release the handle and then just push the handle down a couple of times and the basket will spin. When everything is lined up it will spin very smoothly with very little effort. Hope this helps you because this is the best salad spinner I have ever used. Once you get the hang of it I know you'll like it.

You don't have to turn the handle; you just press down on it and that spins the basket. It takes very little effort.

The handle locks in place, so you release it and then it pops up. You lift the lid, place your salad inside after you prewash it. Then place the lid back on the spinner, pump the handle down, it automatically spins taking out the excess liquid. It has an inner basket for easy removal. You disguard the excess water and can use the clear base to serve the salad. I use mine everytime I make a salad.

Use it frequently. It is not a handle for turning, it is a lever for a pumping action, which has a nice solid feeling and works well. Ended up looking for this particular model after using it at a friend's house and being impressed with the construction, quality, feel and action of the device.

It can't be turned around because the other 3 sides of the basket are solid. It may be possible to remove the numbers, but it sure wouldn't be easy. You may ruin the baskets trying.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

I sorry but I don't know where you would be able to get a handle. Maybe find a basket at a Yard Sale and just change it out. I also would like to find a place to purchase an extra oil catcher. One for fish and the other for deep frying other things. Like donuts and such. Seems like the company T-Fal would have all the extra parts and/or replacement parts for the consumer. As far as I know they don't. For the price you would think that they would. Love the fryer though. Sorry I couldn't help you.

This is a tough one to explain but I will try. On the handle in the center you use 2 hands and squeeze the middle button, then use both hands to rotate the mechanism forward. The unit will collapse. Hope this helps. I kept doing it over and over until I had it down. It is NOT easy.

I have the same basket and the handle is removable. If you apply some pressure to the basket, it will deform and voila! The end of the handle can be popped out of its little sock.

The basket is hard to get in because of the side clips inside the baker unit. If you are pushing down and it still does not go down, then you may need to rotate the turning blade on the bottom of the mixing pan to realign it to the bottom of the baker unit.

The handle collapses or extends as you twist it. You need to have some muscle to do it so you may have to have someone assist. The best place to grip it is near where the silver part meets the blue part. also tightens there. Good Luck.

The white basket that is inside the blue bucket spins when you step on the pedal. I returned mine because the pedal action was not smooth and the pedal sometimes stuck in the down position. I would advise that you spend a few bucks more and buy the Hurricane spin mop. I have purchased two of the Hurricanes, one for me and one for my girlfriend.

Hi, the price was important to me however this was purchased for my husband who weighs 260 and has balance issues. I also needed to make this purchase quickly. I just thought it would be more stable for him. The basket is important as you can't hold anything in your hands. We are very happy with this purchase. Good luck.

Nothing rotates. A basket can be lowered and raised into the oil with the handle you see in the front. The top lifts out (very easily) of the hinge sockets at the back allowing easy clean up of the inside.

go to the amazon site on the computer and you can see that the pulling handle is tilted and it fastens to the front of the basket and the pull handles are slanted toward the back.

Hi Denise,You're supposed to be able to pull that little knob out a bit and put it in the upright (I believe) position. When the knob is to the side position, it doesn't swivel. However, mine was broken and no matter what I did, the wheel was not swiveling!! Also, the back wheels kept popping out. I got a full refund from Amazon and am very very grateful and happy with their service!! I ordered another AT3 Pet Gear stroller. Hopefully this one will function properly. Good luck!! Sue

the handles can be adjusted up and down to fit the user. However I would not recommand this item, poorly enginered, can not be used w/o basket.

Yes it does ... you can turn the handle on the lid either way and the basket spins both counterclockwise and clockwise.

you have to remove the basket (6 bolts) and then the top goes down fine.Its not difficult but it is a pain if you do it alot.You may want to get different bolts for the basket if thats the case because the allen heads on the supplied bolts wont last if you remove them alot.
