OXO Steel Salad Spinner

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

best lettuce spinner, okay it's a little on the big side but that means it fits a full sized lettuce it's a solid construction and takes very little effort to use. it spins at a good speed and the silicone base keeps it in place on the counter. I would highly recommend, i use the bowl for mixing sourdough etc outside of it being a salad spinner it's an all around great product.

I love this! After reading the reviews I ordered this wondering why anyone would spend this much on a salad spinner but when it arrived I understood and recommend it wholeheartedly. A very attractive steel bowl that would grace any table, a strong plastic basket for washing salad etc and a well fitting lid with a thorough and easy to use spinning action. No more clinging on to a spinner that shoots across the worktop, push down and leave, it stays put. Comes apart very easily and washes in the top of the dishwasher. It's a great size for a family and as I live alone I wondered if I should have bought the smaller one but I am so glad I went for this one it is so useful. Spinach may cook down to almost nothing but I can get an entire large bag into the basket for thorough washing and drying. Excellent!

Very nice product but it’s massive! I didn’t realise what a pain it would be to store it. Also I didn’t love the design because it had a curve inside which annoyed me. I ended up returning it and getting the smaller plastic version which I love. If I have a large amount of leaves to wash I just do it twice

Whilst pricy (I bought the large stainless steel) and I ummed and ahhhed over it. I’m very pleased. A salad spinner is a nice to have after all kitchen roll (then into composter) is fine. But I’ve started consecutive growing lettuce, ricket, spinach, baby leave kale in my back garden (in pots) and I love harvesting daily. The salad spinner makes life even lovelier that a can spin and metal bowl as a conductor of chill keeps it fresh in the fridge. I’m eating fresh leaf day and I’m not sure why bu5 it tastes of childhood. Proper leaf!! I must have become taste immune and eaten that gawd awful packet stuff for too long. It’s a robust bit of kit and you need space I love it and wish I had bought it sooner. I only got it because I started growing fresh (which is crazy easy) on my patio. Very happy.

As another reviewer says, I wondered how anyone could spend this amount on a salad spinner - now I know why! It is a work of art, and the very best salad spinner I have ever had. Very robust and durable, high quality workmanship, and astonishingly effective - works like a dream. The brake and spinning mechanism is excellent. Even better, the salad can be stored inside the basket in the spinner with the top pushed down and locked and kept in the fridge - this way the salad stays fresh far longer as the air circulates around the basket. Be aware that it is MUCH bigger than I expected, so you need a deep shelf in the fridge. HIGHLY recommend this effective, elegant, quality salad spinner!

I purchased this spinner because it was steel rather than plastic and I liked the look of it. I also hoped it would be efficient and practical. It is. It's beautiful, but it also works well. It has a heavy bottom which makes it easy to use and does not slip, like some of it's cheaper cousins. The pump action is brilliant. And washed lettuce left in it keeps beautiful crisp and fresh. I love it and would buy it again

I primarily purchased this product as I was looking for a non-plastic option, and they were few and far between. Pros: good capacity and the locking lid feature is helpful if you want to store produce in the fridge without using another bowl/container. The stainless steel is robust and looks very stylish. Cons: It is massive! If you do want to put it in the fridge, you need the best part of half an entire shelf for it. The biggest downside though is that with even a very small batch of produce inside (lettuce) it took even longer to dry than a bog-standard cheap plastic version. I know that there is going to be a big price difference when looking for a non-plastic option but the fact that its functionality is actually worse means that for me it was really not worth the price.

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

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.

Fantastic product, the greens have never been crisper. Even if I have some that are a little limp, if I put them in the spinner in the fridge, it refreshes them. Love it!

I wanted to leave a review here in case anyone is confused if they receive a different salad spinner than what they expected. It seems there is an updated version to the OXO stainless steel spinner. I recently decided to get a proper salad spinner and wanted to invest in a good one. Stainless steel seemed to be a good choice as my previous history with plastic ones were not long lasting. I liked the OXO design so I went with it. I liked it a lot and because it was on sale, I got a second one shortly after as a house warming gift. When it arrived it was then when I noticed that they have two different designs. You’ll notice in the photos that there are two design differences from the actual shape, material on the base, to the centre spinning mechanism (black vs clear) and once you open it, you can tell by the baskets and even the base. The older model had less plastic parts compared to the newest one. The newer one has a flat stainless steel base and comes with a removal plastic plate that raises the basket for it to spin whereas the older model’s base is raised within the design of the steel bowl. I realize the updates/changes could be for a few things such as monitoring any possible mould growth in the spinning mechanism vs. not being able to see in the solid black one. I read in another review that one of the cons of the older model was that there was no replacement part for their cracked basket after the steel base made a hole in the basket’s centre. This makes me believe that the big reason for the “newer/clear” spinner design is to accommodate and match its plastic counter parts (they use the same basket and clear base plate) in case you need replacement for the basket or lid. I can also tell you that the lid and basket for the new one will not fit on the older steel base because they’re not the same size. So you’re out of luck if for some reason need a replacement for the older one down the road. Wrote this as an FYI so that you’re not surprised at a slightly different design or if you’re wanting the older version and trying to limit plastic in your items. It seems they’ll be phasing out the older one. The listings on Amazon are showing the newer model.

É a segundo secador de salada da Oxo que compro. O modelo anterior, que eu tinha também era excelente e durou muitos anos. O único senão é o preço, que é muito maior que o dos concorrentes. Este modelo, vem com a forma externa em inox, o que considerei uma vantagem em termos de durabilidade. Seca muito bem todos os vegetais folhosos verdes. Com o novo modelo de "compressão", ficou muito mais fácil de obter um excelente resultado sem precisar tanto esforço. Há uma dificuldade inicial, até que se acostuma, com o procedimento da limpeza, mas isso é um fato menor. Gostei tanto, que comprei outra para presentear no Natal. O produto veio bem embalado e perfeito, dentro do prazo.
