Product Description

The OXO SteeL Salad Spinner combines the ultimate function of our patented pump and brake with the elegance of a stainless steel serving bowl. Simply press the soft pump to start the basket spinning. Press the brake button and the basket comes to a stop for easy unloading. A clear lid lets you peek inside while you spin your salad, and the lid comes apart for easy cleaning. A non-slip base keeps the elegant stainless steel bowl steady on the countertop and the basket and bowl can be used separately. Bowl capacity is 6.34 quarts; basket capacity is 4.95 quarts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing product from a good company, May 10, 2008

We had an older, plastic OXO salad spinner for many years and it worked great and was built with a very durable spinner mechanism. We "upgraded" to this version when we dropped our old one and cracked the bowl. Unfortunately we have had the same experience as several other reviewers here - the spinner mechanism broke after only a few uses. It seems that if the inner basket has any significant amount of weight (from wet greens) in it and you press firmly on the spinner mechanism there is some plastic part that snaps inside the mechanism (at least that is how it sounded when it happened).

To OXO's great credit, however, their customer service has been fantastic so far in getting us setup for a refund (not a replacement - we would just break it again I'm sure).

I bought this spinner believing it would last longer than the plastic one I previously purchased, but it is poorly constructed. The spring mechanism used to "pump" the spinner broke after only two uses, rendering it completely useless. It seems to me the majority of the fabrication cost goes towards the stainless steel bowl, with only a few pennies for the functional parts of the spinner.

I had a plastic version of this for many years and it worked great. I broke it and it was my fault. I had no problem purchasing a second one and I thought the steel version would be an upgrade. I was wrong. They changed the plastic spinner top to a much cheaper non-flexible plastic. It broke the same way the other reviewers said theirs broke. This is not the same quality product I purchased before, do not buy this item. I wouldn't buy the smaller one either, it has the same lightweight plastic non-flexible lid.
