Is there a possibility that water can get trapped in the lid? That's what would happen with the last salad spinner we had.

I have used my spinner quite a few times and have not had water trapped in the lid. I have been quite satisfied with this spinner and wouldprobably order it again if needed. It is so easy to use and clean.

I don't see that possibility. The entire lid disassembles for cleaning. A small, easy-to-handle screw keeps the lid components together during operation, and unfastening the screw allows for each component to be washed thoroughly by hand or in the dishwasher. Of course, I wash the same screw by hand because it's tiny and I don't wish to lose it! I am completely satisfied with the performance and ease of cleaning with this spinner.

No not really. There are lots if vents for drainage. This is the best spinner we've ever had. I'd recommend one.

Same thing happened to me on the large one, my husband is very handy and he took the lid apart and there was a wire that got disconnected, he was able to fix it, if it wasnt for him than it would still not be working. If you filled out the product registration than you can contact the company and they will replace it.

Good Afternoon,Thank you for your email. I can confirm that the lid is not air tight and it rests on the top of the bin.I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any further enquiries.Kind RegardsAmy

Yes Deborah, there is a very small pinhole in the top. It allows air to escape when the lid is used. If the cup is tilted, very little if any liquid is leaked.

It was likely overloading the motor, I love my Kitchen Aid mixer but I have been beyond disappointed in the food processor. I tried to make peanut butter and it couldn't hack it the motor kept stopping. I had a cheapy $40 food processor before this one and it was better than this. Good luck, have you had any luck trying to slice veggies without them all getting stuck up in the lid?

I have had the same issue with these and find that I can basically only put things that don't "spill" in there. You have to gently close them and the lids tend to stay on, but they are NOT leakproof. Any runny thing like salad dressing spills.

This might sound funny, but we found that you need to make sure you don't put the lid on too tight. If you do then nothing comes out.

I just filled a small ball jar more than 1/2 way with water, tightened the lid and shook the heck out of it. No spills or leaks! Then I set it sort of upside down in a bowl (like it fell over in your bag) - Its been about an hour - no water in the bowl! There is no gasket but I think it'll work.

If the ground is too dense water will come up and over the top part where the clear lid is screwed on. Sometimes turning down the water pressure or find another area to put the probe in. I usually turn it on and go around pushing it in the soil until I find an area less dense and the water does not come out the top.

It is a mechanical spinner, so you power it yourself. The picture doesn't show it, but the black center circle pops up, you push it down and it pops back up, this motion causes the interior basket to spin. As it spins the water on the salad greens is forced off the greens through the basket and into the clear outer container, it then collects at the bottom. The greens are dry in less than a minute. Just stop the spinner, take off the lid, remove the basket, pour off the water that is a the bottom of the outer bowl and you are done. Sometimes I do a second spin if I want my greens to be really dry. I believe this is the best product on the market, works extremely well and lasts and lasts. Enjoy it.

Try taking the lid off when it is not sealed. Then seal it and try it again. You'll have major trouble removing the lid if it's sealed.

It's advisable when mixing dry items to keep them from flying out, especially at high speed. Once the mixing is well underway, the lid can come off (but why?)

I never had the lid get stuck, but I've experienced the cups bottom getting stuck so I just carefully lifted it up. Perhaps you could do the same in the opposite direction.

Is it possible either some of the contents are too large and may be jamming the spinner mechanism or the feeder itself is so large that when nearly full the downward pressure is causing the spinner to stop? I have encountered similar problems due to both these instances.

My lid is heavy enough to kept any moisture from escaping. I don't have that problem with my All-clad. Sorry, maybe you should have them to replace your lid.
