5.0 out of 5 stars You just have to make it work., March 22, 2009

Yep....too tight to fit any olive bottle I know of. But rather than returning it, I took a single edge razor blade and (not all that carefully) trimed back the lower rings on the stopper assembly, leaving only the upper collar. This allowed it to now fit down into the bottle snuggly, maintaining a tight seal. Works perfect now, no more drippy olive oil bottle. I'm glad I bought it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fits and works great!, November 5, 2010

Love it! I hesitated about buying this item at first because of all the reviews saying it didn't fit, but it fit my Bertolli 750 ml bottle perfectly and works great. Like Raymond Perez said in his review, you don't have to use all of the ribs and push the stopper completely inside the bottle to make it work--you just need to put in far enough that some of the ribs keep the oil from pouring out. The graduated ribbing is meant to allow the stopper to fit in a range of bottle sizes--smaller bottles use only the smaller ribs near the bottom.

Also, I saw some people didn't like how slowly the stopper pours, but I didn't find this to be a problem. It is a little slow getting started, but then it pours nicely. It definitely pours slower than the original plastic top that came with the olive oil bottle, but it's fast enough and it gives better control over the amount of oil that comes out. Someone else mentioned that sometimes the air hole may get stopped up with oil and make the stopper pour slowly, and I think that is indeed what happens sometimes when the stopper pours really slowly, but I usually just tip the bottle upright again for a bit and then it will pour ok.

Love the valve to close the oil spout. Tried pouring with the valve closed, and nothing came out. Saw Mikemac9's review that it leaked when he put it on the side. I turned the bottle upside down and didn't see any leaking, although maybe if I left it on its side (or upside down) for a longer time, it might leak eventually (maybe through the air hole?). Anyway, works perfectly for my use.

I keep the oil on the counter most of the time, so I didn't have issues with the additional height added to the bottle by the stopper or my bottle becoming too top-heavy and tipping on a lazy susan. The stopper isn't that heavy, so I didn't have trouble with my bottle getting too top-heavy, but then again I'm using a glass 750 ml bottle. I guess the weight of the stopper could be more of a problem if someone uses a plastic bottle with it.

Great product! I will purchase more for myself and for my family as gifts.

I have been in search of a good olive oil spout and wanted one with a lid or a way to close. This does that and like most OXO products is very sturdy. It was a bit tight to get on our olive oil bottle, but once in it's not going anywhere. It does not drip either. My only complaint is that it pours pretty slowly, which is good in some applications. I just wish there was one that would let you adjust the flow rate. Until then, this is the best that I have tried of many.
