OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner | Lettuce Spinner | Fruit Washer | Fruit Washing Bowl with Strainer | Vegetable Cleaner | Salad Cleaner | Lettuce Washer | 6.22 Quart Capacity

So I've owned this spinner for 3 years. I have a large garden and this spinners cleaned about 300 heads of lettuce, pounds of various herbs, lots of leafy greens like spinach, beet, sweet potato, and amaranth. The ad claims it will stop on a dime but it's more like 8 dimes but still good. I'm not particularly gentle with it either. Gardeners know the challenge of processing food peak season; the faster the better. It did fail after the 2nd year. Why 5 stars then? You can take it apart. I simply twisted the top from the center plunger, realigned a spring, reset a rod, and reassembled it. Quick and easy.The best thing about this? It seals. You can put any food in this thing and it will keep it as fresh as the day you put it in. Noticeably longer than in the fridge crisper..by weeks. It's not the biggest sized spinner you can get, but it's close and does a good job. The ad also mentions using it as a serving bowl and I imagine if you're not putting so much food through it it will still look good, but after 3 years the inner basket has rubbed the bowl edge (over-filled it probably too many times) and made marks on the outer bowl. Also, while it was presentable enough for a serving bowl, it has a center spike that the inner basket sets and spins on. Anyone not familiar with it being there might snag the spike while trying to get their salad and risk dumping it or knocking it around. Should this ever fail I wouldn't hesitate buying it again.

Decided to switch to taking salads for lunch. I wanted a salad spinner, but not the typical large size taking up all kinds of space. Took a chance on this small one and I couldn't be happier. It's just the perfect size for a meal sized salad. Since I'll usually make more than one at a time for the upcoming work week, this is perfect for even portioning. The inner basket is a handy little colander even when you're not making salad. The mechanism is very smooth, the brake works well, and it's easy to clean. I'm always impressed with the amount of water strained from the leafy greens. Hasn't shown any signs of wear, so I expect this spinner to last a long time.

Love this!!! It's easy to use, cleans my lettuce fast. It's high quality and durable. The size is perfect for making a giant salad for more than just me. As far as the material and if it's BPA, BTD, ZPA (I'm making this up); I'm not sure but I'm pretty positive I wouldn't have bought this if it had chemicals and micro plastics and all that bad stuff.

Salad spinner works great. Love the brake button option. Use:It has a good amount of speed variation since you control how hard you press, and I usually only have to hit it a few times to get the water off the lettuce. And i can remove the strainer part to pour out water as many times as I want til it's dry enough.Durability:i usually just toss the strainer part in the dishwasher and hand wash the large bowl since it's so large, but it rarely has anything but water so very easy to clean.Size:Can put a good amount of food in here without issue. at least a whole head of romaine. Maybe half an iceberg? Perfect for fruit that needs a wash.

I used to think salad spinners were a waste of money (I had a plastic OXO one years ago that I wasn't overly impressed with) but this one performs pretty well. It has quite a large capacity, which comes in handy when you're meal-prepping or making large smoothie batches.I knew it being glass would make it heavier but it is still a lot to handle, especially if you have arthritis, joint hypermobility, etc., so bear that in mind before purchasing. I recommend getting silicone grip gloves as a precaution if you do go this route.I was specifically looking for glass because it's easier to clean, doesn't absorb odours, and chemically inert (compared to plastic) and this was the only one that fit the bill on Amazon. It's got fairly solid construction -the glass is quite thick- and while I am careful with it, i'd wager it could probably tolerate rougher handling.Not really sure what purpose the 'brake' is supposed to serve but it's there if you like sort of thing.I took off one star because it's not the most user-friendly weight and a bit over-priced for what it is.

Works as well, maybe better, than the full size model which I’ve had for years. Bought this to keep at my son’s apartment. Washes a head of romaine quickly and thoroughly!

We had a very old OXO spinner that was quite good, but the new spinner is superior in every way. This salad spinner is easier to use, does a better job and is easier to clean.

This quality is amazing and the bowl is so durable, I bought more as a gift! Easy to use and clean. Perfect size I use mine everyday, gets so much water out of your lettuce
