OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner - Large, Green Lettuce & Fruit Washer, BPA-Free, Easy One-Hand Pump

I absolutely love this salad spinner. I use it for everything from lettuce and berries to herbs and full salad mixes. It gets produce incredibly dry without bruising it, which makes meal prep so much easier and faster. The spinner mechanism is smooth and effortless, and the brake feature works perfectly. One of my favorite things is that the clear bowl can also be used as a full-sized salad bowl, so I can prep and serve from the same container. It is durable, easy to clean, and well worth the price. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants fresh, crisp produce with less mess.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I had a salad spinner that was another brand that just did not hold up. We ordered the OXO brand because of the reviews and it has been great. Easy to use and spins out the lettuce great. You can also wash fruit and spin it to make them last longer. Overall this is the best salad spinner for the money!

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.

Great product! Works easily. It’s listed as “ large” and it is big. Can hold a lot of greens, which is nice. Can clean the greens quickly because there’s no need to reload. Why did you pick this product vs others?:Quality and size

I have never used a salad spinner and, honestly, never washed my lettuce. I know, it's embarrassing. But, I started to worry about getting sick, especially because I make a large salad and we eat some every day. I researched all of the brands and this one came on top. It does the trick, but you have to pump it REALLY hard and get it going super fast in order get enough force to dry the lettuce. It works. My lettuce is cleaner and my salads even taste better. Good investment. My only complaint is that the little stopper sometimes hits the top when I don't want it to and slows the spinner before it should.

Easy to use. Spins out water and moisture easily and effectively. Lettuce and spinach last much longer if not wet when kept in refrigerator.

Love it! Very durable, large enough for all my salad and fruit needs. The locking tool is really nice when not in use for storage. Lightweight and easy to use

We have salads a lot and this works so well to get lettuce and spinach rinsed to where it’s clean and almost dry. And the reason we had to get this one was because we gave our other one to our daughter!! It’s to use and easy to clean. Absolutely love it!
