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 was fed up with my husband shaking wet lettuce leaves all over the table when we had salad ( which is quite a lot, as he is a keen veg gardener) and this gadget has solved that problem! It is easy to use, gets the salad etc nicely dry, and the push down lockable handle is helpful for storage. The only down-side is the fact that it is quite big, and you do need to have room in a cupboard somewhere handy if you use it as much as I do.

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!

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.

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.

This is a good sturdy necessary piece of kitchen equipment. Ideal for washing and drying full lettuces and other leafy vegetables. The large bowl and lid is so practical for preparing salad beforehand and storing in the fridge. The plastic bowl also doubles as an extra serving bowl for parties etc.

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.

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

Excelente produto, seca as saladas sem esforço. Inclusive deixo de molho no cloro com legumes e frutas. Faço a secagem Maravilhoso!

Sent this as part of a gift to a friend getting married. It arrived super-fast, overnight! I sent it because I have one too and I love it. It's a quality item, well made, and from a brand I trust. (OXO) It's so easy to use and it gets the job done. It drains the water from even the most delicate lettuce without mangling the leaves. No more trying to dry lettuce with paper towels when I'm preparing a meal! It's simple to use and easy to clean. I hope my friend loves it as much as I do!

The salad spinner works as advertised by pressing down on the top to spin it. I have another salad spinner which works by spinning a knob, and I think that it actually works better because it can get cranked up to gets higher speeds. The OXO goes a bit slower and is less effective in achieving high speeds. The OXO also can become unstable at high speeds. Therefore it works best with lighter salads. The plastic is hard and maybe brittle. I have not had trouble with it, but have not dropped it either. At €24 and considering that it is all made of plastic it seems a bit expensive. Still it is a decent enough product which hopefully should provide years of service.
