OXO Steel Salad Spinner

This is a great salad spinner. I use prepackaged salads that say they are washed, but I always get an upset stomach from them. I open the package, take out the inner package of dressing and then dump the solid mixture into the inner basket to be washed with water or a mixture of vinegar and water. The strainer basket is fine enough so that even with chopped salads 99% of the salad will stay within the basket and maybe only two or three little pieces will get stuck in the strainer so not a problem. There is no problem at all putting the top mechanism onto the strainer basket as some people have indicated, it’s quite easy. I am in my 70s and I have no problem operating the spinner so I can’t imagine why people have said they count under the top on the rotating basket.The bottom plastic piece is a sturdy polycarbonate that I think will wear quite well, and it provides a pivot point for the basket to spin on. Oxo even provided a finger slot so you can easily lift the bottom plastic beats out of the container to drain water. Since the spin mechanism is collapsible, it doesn’t take much room to store so I store it in the refrigerator to keep it cold for the next batch of salad. The brake mechanism works fine despite what some reviews have said, but normally I let the basket come to a stop by itself as I am preparing the dressing. After all, you bought it to spin so let it spin. So again-no problem. It is true, however, that the stainless steel bowl is rather thin and a bit flexible. But this does not inhibit the operation of the unit. I think the stainless steel ball is just engineered to be adequate and not add unnecessary steal an extra weight to the product. It is not built like a 1959 Buick Roadmaster, but more like a completely competent Honda Accord. If you make more salad than you can eat in one sitting, I recommend getting a universal, flexible silicone top to put on the stainless steel base to store your salad for the next meal.

It works awesome, durable, been using for 5 years, well worth the money

Very nice quality, sturdy, and feels built-to-last. The spinner works smoothly and dries greens quickly, making salad prep effortless. It’s easy to clean and large enough for family meals - overall a great kitchen tool.

Pretty good. Sturdier than my last salad spinner. One thing I don't understand: why the separate, clear plastic piece with the "knob" that sits at the bottom of the outer bowl to help the basket spin? My last spinner had the same knob in the outer bowl, no separate piece. That made a lot more sense.

This has to be the best spinner I've ever bought! Plastic ones do not look new for very long and are quite frankly a little embarrassing for guests to see. I see this as an investment in solid salad spinner - pricier but better quality so I'll win in the long term.

I ordered this salad spinner to replace A plastic oxo salad spinner that I bought about 12 years ago. The old salad spinner still worked, but the spinning mechanism just wasn’t spinning fast enough to get my lettuce as dry as I like. The only real difference between the new salad spinner and the old one is the metal work bowl, which I really like. The new metalwork bowl feels sturdy without being too heavy. An improvement over the old spinner is the ease in which the spinner lid separates into the two basic components, for easy cleaning (see my photo). The old lid was very tricky to separate and clean, but the new lid could not be easier. It just snaps on and off. The performance of the new salad spinner is excellent. With very little effort the salad spinner spins like a top, throwing off the water of my salad greens, making salad preparation really easy. Cleaning the salad spinner is extremely easy as well. Although I do recommend hand drying the metal bowl immediately after washing so that water spots don’t develop on the bowl. If you don’t mind water spots, then let it air dry and that makes cleanup that much easier. Overall, this is an excellent product that I highly recommend.

Excellent easy most sturdy & fastest to use salad spinner that I have ever owned. Yes it's pricey, but it was well worth the money after I used this thing. You just stuff the green leaf lettuces, greens or fresh herbs inside the plastic bpa free strainer bowl & then place the plastic bpa strainer bowl inside of the stainless steel strainer bowl. What I like about this Salad Spinner is that it is built well, solid & it has the safe silicone grip on the bottom of it to make it grip the counter, so while it's spinning it does not slide on the counter, but it does rock. It is so easy to press button to unlock & to pop the button up to press it to spin the salad goodies. It does not have one of those middle things in the middle of this salad spinner like all other annoying salad spinner, so you have all of the entire space inside of the bowl for spinning your green leaf healthy goodness. It's silent while spinning veggies, it does rock a little from side to side a little when you hit the button a bunch of times, but well expected in my eyes. Everything that I have purchase from this company OXO has been excellent quality & I also own other products from them & they are also well made & work excellent just like this excellent salad spinner that I will purchase again when it comes to the end of it's life which I reckon will be in a long time from now considering the well built construction of this awesome looking & working salad spinner. It is an extreme delight to use unlike all of the other salad spinners that I have owned before this excellent product. It is easy to wash & nothing sticks to the surfaces either the plastic basket or the stainless steel bowl. I only wash the this salad spinner by hand & have never put it into my dishwasher & will never put it into my dishwasher because I want it to last & I wash all of my stainless steel products by hand. I also use the stainless steel bowl for organic gluten free air popcorn & for huge salads because it has so much space inside this wonderful bowl & plus it is so easy to wash out & dry out because the surface is just so nice & nothing stick's to it at all. So you should go & purchase this Salad spinner because believe me you will be happy that you finally paid more for a salad spinner because I surely was after I got it & used it.

New steel design with plunger instead of pull cord is much sturdier and more effective at spinning the contents. Excellent product design.

Great!! Praktiskt! Jag är supernöjd med OXOs kvalitet.

Buon articolo, svolge perfettamente la funzione per cui è stato realizzato. Ne consiglio l'acquisto

I absolutely love this salad spinner. I have had it for a few years now and it still works really great. Cannot recommend it enough. It's not small, and takes up a bit of space in the cupboard. Really nice solid construction with the stainless steel. It's heavy too. It goes really fast and spins the salad well. Super easy to use. Genuinely I think the best salad spinner i have ever used

Werkt perfect. Sla is droog na 1x drukken en kan ideaal daarna als slaschaal gebruikt worden

Perfect product Very well making Works perfect
