OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner

This works just great! Very powerful spin which leaves your salad dry and crispy. Sticks to the worktop too - which is a good plus. (So much better than bunching up lettuce into a teatowel, going out into the garden and spinning your arm around like mad - which I've been doing for years! Although I do miss the exercise ...) Salad keeps fresh in it for at least two days as well, which is handy as I always make too much, and used to waste loads. Now we have salad two days running, or use it the next day in sandwiches, etc. (I think it would last longer than two days, actually, but haven't tried.) So it's a money-saver too! Only downside for me was where to store it, as it's quite big, and my cupboards are full. I solved this by finding space for just the lid in a cupboard, and storing the bowl itself in the 'fridge. Yes, you do have room! Just put all your unprepared salad stuff inside the bowl. (Give it a quick swill round before using, of course.) Job done!

This salad spinner works really well, it has a "non slip" base which means that it doesn't skid all over the work top and the pup action method of spinning the basket makes light work of drying salad leaves. At first I thought the brake was a bit pointless but this spinner is so well balanced that it will spin for ages if you don't use it. It comes apart easily for cleaning and the handle can be locked down flush with the lid for easy storage. Other reviews have mentioned an issue with the fact that the spinning mechanism pokes down into the bowl meaning and as a result you need to leave a hollow in the basket. I regularly wash and dry an entire lettuce (romaine) in one go and have yet to find that this mechanism causes a problem.

Bought this at a reduced price and boy am I pleased! It's super - by far the best salad spinner I have ever had! Looks lovely and spins the leaves brilliantly. Spins smoothly (none of this knob-twisting business!) and the brake that stops the spinning, works a treat. Love that you can lock down the knob, as it makes it much more compact to fit in the fridge. Bit larger than I expected but in fairness, I only glanced at the measurements given in the product description, so totally my own fault! Would highly recommend!

I got this recently and am very happy with it. I used to have a system of of washing salads in a colander and placing that over a large 'pyrex' dish to catch the drips. the only trouble was that it was time consuming and annoying if I wanted the colander for other purposes whilst it took time in allowing the water to drip through. Now I can spin salads etc dryer in seconds. This spinner is very well made, as are all products made by 'OXO' that I have bought in the past. I cannot yet state if it will be prone to staining by items such as fruit juices, or the juice of sliced beetroot, but the spinner is made of various types of plastic and so may well do. I will update my review if this becomes fact. Eamonn

I saw Jamie Oliver use this type of salad spinner on TV - it made the job sooooo much easier than using conventional spinners. After a quick search on the Net, found what I wanted and it's worth it's weight in gold! I have back problems and found it very easy to use. It doesn't skid along the worksurfaces, the brake is great and love the fact that it is dishwasher proof (All hail the dishwasher!!) I no longer end up hugging the salad spinner I had like a long lost friend trying to turn the handle and hold it on the worksurface. Great idea and so simple.

Great spinner. It's easy to clean and effective at drying salad. I had read a review before about it breaking, mines fine but it is plastic so best not throw it around. The push stop and pump spin are a great design. It is big so having space for it is a consideration although I wouldn't want a smaller one as you couldn't get as much salad into it.

Appeared to be well made

This salad spinner is the best purchase for the kitchen I have ever made! I live alone and don't have much time to prep food. I spin all my salad on Monday and keep the whole spinner in the fridge. It keeps completely fresh for a good 4-5 days! Amazing! Great for popping salad into sandwiches and dinners as well as the usual. waters spun out completely and I usual take a piece of kitchen towel to just take abit of moisture of the cucumber to make it last longer. If you have a small fridge or shelves you can't move u may want the smaller one. This one's great for family's or someone like me who loves fresh salad. Don't waste yout money on bagged salad that lasts 2 days get one of these! Can use for fruit too :) Enjoy!

ça c'est une essoreuse, pas de manivelle qui vous reste dans les mains ou de ficelle qui donne l'impression de démarer une tondeuse ! Un simple bouton poussoir, une ou deux pressions et voilà la salade qui tournoie dans le bol de grande contenance et anti-dérapant(ça c'est bien pratique car on n'a pas besoin de tenir le bol). Il y a aussi un couvercle bien utile pour mettre la salade au frais. Bref, une essoreuse pratique, robuste et d'un rapport qualité/prix parfait.

كويس لتنظيف الخضار والفواكة بالذات الورقيات

Praticissima con quel sistema ,molto robusta e ottima l'asciugatura dell'insalata

Easy to use and very large

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.
