Exactly how much lettuce or fruit does this salad spinner hold. I am thinking of one large head of iceburg lettuce or 1.5 lbs of large grapes? Thanks.

This is the small version. In order to do a large head of lettuce you should buy the collapsible one....called Progressive CSS-2 Green Collapsible Salad Spinner - 3 Quart Capacity

Hi. The inner green basket has diameter 17 cm and height 8 cm. Hope this helps.

Actually just about that much. I would say, with ANY salad spinner, not to bunch it up too much but use a lighter load, but in just a good couple of turns your done. Grapes I tend to break apart a bit before using, off the stem a bit. But those weights should be fine.

This is TINY. It won't hold an entire, untorn/cut piece of romaine lettuce. You'd need to break the leaves in half to fit them in this bowl.

No it's small, 7" round. I got a larger one, you'd probably prefer, at BedBath and Beyond on sale for $10 , I also had a coupon. It works a little differently but I love it! The small one is good for two small salads the big one is what you could use

It's very useful but it's not large enough to hold a lage head of lettuce. You would have to divide the portions before using the spinner. However, it's well worth it. You can easily fit half of a head of lettuce without a problem.

it is quite small. it will hold lettuce enough for 2 or 3 side salads or half a bag of spinach.

No battery. You push down on the top "handle / spinner" about 5 - 10 times and it keeps spinning. It has a brake button if you want to stop it sooner. If it is still wet, just spin again. It's easy, and great. After eating lettuce spun with cold water, you probably won't want unspun lettuce again.

Mine measured just over 36 inches, I have two now and for the last several months I have been growing all of the lettuce my family can eat...

I have kept salad greens in the spinner for a day without any salad dressing on the greens. Worked ok but the spinner takes up a lot of room in the refrigerator.

for my family the 2 3/4" size is just right....the first stacked salads I made were chopped lettuce,avocado, tomato, crab. Everyone seemed to think they were just the right salad with homemade bread and a glass of wine for the summer dinner

it really depends on what you put through it. I spent all afternoon on Sundays juicing for the week. I would have 24 - 32 ounce containers - I usually would do 6 to 8 of them. I would put through about 6 cucumbers, 6 apples, a bag of kale, I like cilantro - so i did a bunch of that, a head of celery, a bag of spinach, chard, napa cabbage, lemons, and anything else that sounded good. Zucchinis and cucumbers and apples make the most juice. the leafy veggies do not - but they are full of other stuff you need. I would have juice for breakfast and lunch then have my dinner. I lost weight too. but it is tough just doing the juice and not much food.

I have put Kale and Spinach in my smoothies (along with 4-5 ice cubes, 1 cup of liquid, 1 cup yogurt, a kiwi and some frozen fruit) and it chops the kale or spinach into very small fragments, it does not pulverize/liquify - but I would still consider that it does a very good job.

I get 3 green containers a day so if I make a salad for lunch I use 2 green for lettuce & mushrooms & 1red for chicken I do not use dressing. I put them into a big container and take that to work. The only container I take to work is the yellow for the oats .

These are really good with lettuce, I mainly use spinach and it lasts over a week but if you line a paper towel (on top of the green tray inside) in with the produce, it lasts even longer. Another option is the Brawny Produce Protectors, they're a pain to clean but take up less space and work just as well as the tupperware does.

I have never used a spinner. I use a head of lettuce and wash it, dry it with a paper towel and it stays fresh.

about 5 inches tall with a diameter of 10inches.... it works great for small stuff, we like it..... just not as "heavy duty" as we would have hoped for spinning lettuce....

I'm sorry to say that I've never tried them with lettuce. I use them for apples, oranges, melons, and grapes with great success - never bananas or cucumbers. I have a lettuce keeper that works great and usually get bagged lettuce so it's never been an issue.

I don't know about the veggies, but I blend large frozen fruit everyday. It is a heavy duty blender. Just two speeds, but very efficient.

Hello,This keeper has a 1.9-quart (7-1/2-cup) capacity, and it measures 6 by 10 by 4-1/2 inches. So you may not be able to put a lettuce head in it without cutting the head. There is another product, The lettuce keeper, which has a 4.7-quart (18-3/4-cup) capacity, and it measures 12-1/2 by 7-1/4 by 5-1/4 inches, so you may be able to fit a whole head of lettuce without cutting.Please contact us if you need additional information or assistance.Shelia

Judith, this is my first juicer so i'm not really sure how big the chute is on the 8005. So far I love the machine cause it does a great job on juicing spinach and Kale and time consumption is about the same as your juicier I would think. It does take a long time to juice orange and grapefruit juice though cause there is so much juice in them. But like i said i love it and i use it once a week and store them for up 3-4 days. If you have a 8005, i would stick to that for now cause it's pretty much the same machine but with a bigger chute. I still have to cut cucumbers and apples.

i get the large organic bag of spinach/kale/chard from Costco. I mix that with their regular big container of spinach. then i freeze that and then crumble it up into almost "shake" and use that with unsweetened coconut milk. so its alot of greens and they're frozen. this blender tore right through them! then I add fruit and frozen strawberries and blueberries. again, no problem! so far, I'm very impressed.
