What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Dreamfarm Spina Colander for its innovative design and superior functionality.

Know before you buy
Unlike bulky, bowl-based spinners, the Spina is a colander that spins. Because it functions as a standalone colander, you can rinse your greens and spin them dry in the same tool, saving you from washing extra bowls.
The handle is designed for a simple, manual pump action that is generally intuitive. While it requires a quick, repetitive motion to reach high speeds, the non-slip foot keeps the unit stable on your countertop while you work.
Yes, the Spina is made from durable, BPA-free plastic that can handle hot water. It works effectively as a standard colander for draining pasta or blanched vegetables before you use the spinning function to remove excess moisture.
The handle collapses flush against the side of the colander, allowing it to stack easily with your other mixing bowls or colanders. Its compact profile is significantly smaller than traditional two-piece salad spinner sets.
The basket is designed with drainage holes sized to balance efficient water flow with food retention. While it is perfect for berries and larger greens, very small items like tiny peas might pass through the slots.
