The best salad spinner!

This is the second Oxo Salad Spinner I have owned.  I used my previous one daily for many, many years.  The only reason I bought a new one is because I dropped it and it had a small crack in it.  I love the new clear top.  Wouldn't use anything else to prepare a salad.

I absolutely LOVE this product.  My old salad spinner had lost it's spinning mechanism and it was like pushing a big rock to get it to spin.  This Zyliss salad spinner is so easy to use with no effort to spin dry my lettuce to perfection.  I also love the brake system when you're ready to stop the spin.  The quality is very nice as well.  I would definitely recommend buying this product.

This spinner is well-made and a very attractive kitchen accessory.  It is easy to assemble and operate and clean. Having a good, quality, freshly washed salad is a painless (even fun) process. I would definitely purchase this product again.

I had this type of salad spinner many years ago and purchased the KitchenAid Red Salad & Fruit Spinner when the string on my spinner broke after about 20 years of use.  Huge Mistake!  I failed to read any reviews on the KitchenAid Salad Spinner.  I could never get all of the water off of my lettuce, no matter what I did.  I finally found this MIU Plastic Pull-String Salad Spinner on Amazon and ordered it right away.  It is so amazing!  It completely washes and removes ALL of the water from my lettuce leaves. I place my fresh spun lettuce leaves in a glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge.  The lettuce stays fresh for a few days which is wonderful if you want to take a small amount of salad to work every day, without having to clean it daily.  It is a large size and holds over a head of lettuce at a time. I am thrilled to be able to have completely wash and dried lettuce leaves again.  You won't be sorry if you purchase this spinner.

First I must say I did not buy mine from Amazon, nor did I even buy it "new" (although it was in "like new" condition). I was fortunate enough to find this awesome little gadget at a thrift shop for $2.00, but after using it I would definately pay the nearly $18.00 for it!

I hate wet salad greens! I have spent more money than I wish to disclose on spinners. I've tried everything from the cheapest spinners to more expensive (Tupperware, Pampered Chef, etc). I have found most of them to be awkward to hold and spin at the same time. This little spinner is PERFECT! The ratchet is so easy to work, I could see someone with joint issues finding this much more comfortable than the others. I love the break on it too.

Here's how I use mine... I put the salad in the basket (in the bowl), put cold water in the bowl and ratchet it a time or two to wash the greens, drain the water and spin the heck out of it until it's dry!!! Be sure to keep your hands on it while it's spinning. The first time I used it I got it spinning and let go to wash my hands and the salad inside was off balance causing it to wobble a bit. Not a big issue, I would just hate for it to fall off the counter and break.

The only thing I would suggest you consider is the size. It's perfect for me because I use it for one huge salad for me, or two smaller salads for me and my hubby. If you have a family of more than two you may want to buy the larger 5 qt spinner.

I read in a couple of other reviews that someone stores their lettuce in the basket/bowl and another who uses the bowl to serve the salad. Sounds like good ideas that I may try.

There is no other salad spinner as good as this one.  The others are a waste of time.  This leaves your leaves clean and dry.  Go for it!

Having changed my diet to include a large amount of greens I found myself needing a bigger and better salad/veg spinner.  This was the answer for me.  It holds and handles a large amount while still spinning very smoothly and very fast.

The ratchet type handle on top allows you to crank the spinner easily with a hand clench motion instead of the full arm workout of the traditional kind of spinner.  While the additional upper arm exercise was never a bad thing, I had a tendency to wrench the lid right off of my old spinner.  Unintentionally and frustratingly turning it into a nightmarish Salad Shooter.  This spinner is well balanced and continues to spin long after you stop cranking.

Storage of this unit is simple as it is basically the profile of a large mixing bowl.

The only negative I have encountered with this spinner is that the inner panel of the lid can sometimes separate from the upper part of the lid.  As it reminds me to check for hidden gunk and goes right back on it's not a deal breaker for me.

Great price Great Spinner.  Wore out my last one! This was a replacement after 6+years.  We eat salads probably 6 times a week!  So got lots of use

This salad spinner works very well.  I had purchased another brand of salad spinner before this one which had the exact same spinning mechanism.  It lasted for about six months before the plastic gearing in it stripped out but for six months it was an awesome salad spinner.  I replaced that salad spinner with several different brands of salad spinners with different spinning methods like crank handles and pull strings.  Those were all junk compared to these pump action style salad spinners.  This salad spinner does also have the plastic gear parts so only time will tell how long it will last but so far so good.  I use this salad spinner every day and have had it for a few weeks now and am extremely happy with my purchase.

What fun!  I have always wanted a Salad Spinner and I am not sure why I wanted so long?  There is not real reason - don't wait.  This is smooth and so easy, glad I finally pressed buy!  Thank you.

I used to have a really big salad spinner, and it was a chore to store. I eventually got rid of it. I like that this one is smaller, but not too small. I don't mind splitting my lettuce up into 2-3 batches to dry it out- not a problem.

This makes it so convenient to dry out my salad after rinsing it- my "paper towel patting method" was getting old! :P. I love the extra locks on the lid to hold everything in place. Another nice feature is an opening to drizzle salad dressing through- smart!

The bowl and the strainer piece are dishwasher safe. The lid must be hand washed.

I have used other salad spinners and this salad spinner is one of the best and easy to assemble and disassemble it is good quality and the base makes a nice salad bowl.

We all wish to eat more salad, right?  We are all concerned with the pesticides sprayed on our greens and veggies, right?  I didn't like washing lettuce/spinach etc. and then using wads of paper towels to dry it off.  And, wet greens are yucky in a salad, plus they don't hold the dressing!  I use this spinner daily and no more messy problem!  It is also a GREAT storage area of washed greens for you next salad, or sandwich.  Go for it, you gotta have one!

The OXO salad spinner works very well.  The design of the salad spinner was well thought out and it reflects on how it actually works. Very happy with this spinner.

Pretty, sturdy, well made product.
1. I absolutely love the green-white color combo of the salad spinner. It is a vibrant, pretty green, exactly like the photo provided.
2. It has little rubber pads at the bottom to prevent the spinner from slipping about on the table.
3. It has a clasp at the top to make sure the top does not spin off.
4. It spins smoothly.
5. It is the perfect size for 1-4 people, depending on serving portions.
6. It is not made of some cheap plastic. It actually feels pretty sturdy.

Regardless, as for all salad spinner, I still prefer holding the spinner against my hips as I use it because I find that much easier.

I love it!  Wish I would have purchased a salad spinner before now--I eat salad every single day.  This helps keep the veggies nice and crisp, plus clean.

I never thought a salad spinner would be a useful tool in my kitchen, and I am an avid collector of kitchen tools, useful or otherwise.  This spinner, which I purchased specifically because it carried good recommendations from other users, has proven itself to be one of those "always present on the counter" type tools that I use again and again.  There is a comfort in creating the spin, rather than pulling a string.  I would highly recommend trying this spinner and leave your old "pull cord" spinner stored away to re-gift to your first born when they leave home.
