Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Washing and drying leafy vegetables has never been simpler or more fun than with the Oxo salad spinner in green. One hand is all you need to press the soft, cushioned knob to start the spinning. When the built-in brake is applied and the job is done, the basket and bowl can be taken apart and used separately. A clear lid lets you see the lettuce, spinach, and other greens as they spin. The lid’s knob locks down for easy storage, and the spinner is dishwasher-safe on the top rack. The spinner’s bowl holds 6.22 quarts while the basket’s capacity is 4.95 quarts.
Product Description
For fun and easy salad preparation, try the Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner, now available in green. Simply press the soft, non-slip knob to start the basket spinning. Easy, one-handed operation makes this Spinner a pleasure to use, and a built-in brake stops the Salad Spinner so you can unload it. A non-slip ring keeps the bowl steady on the countertop, and the basket and bowl can be used separately.

5.0 out of 5 stars
simply revolutionary!,
This review is from: OXO Good Grips Green Salad Spinner (Kitchen)
Simply put, the Oxo salad spinner receives such stellar reviews because it is an extremely well designed product, that operates on a simple principle, and works fantastically well. Given a choice, almost everyone would prefer fresh, clean vegetables and fruit. However, washing them usually leaves you with the problem of excess water, and that is where the Oxo comes in.
The spinner has three components, the bowl, the basket, and the lid. Put your vegetables, fruit, or whatever you want to drain off excess liquids from, in the basket. Place the basket in the bowl, resting on the center pin at the bottom of the bowl. Release the spring loaded handle, and then while holding down the lid, push down on the handle a few times. The centrifugal force generated from spinning the contents in the basket, draws liquid and small debris to the outer walls of the bowl. What remains in the basket is relatively dry, and excess water and debris can be discarded. The bowl is made of extra hard plastic, that is shaped so that it is difficult to tip over, even when the basket is spinning at high speed. The rubber on the bottom of the bowl provides traction, and helps keep the bowl from spinning, or tipping over, while you are pumping. There is very little friction between the spinning basket, and the bowl and lid, and it is quite remarkable how long the basket will keep spinning if you just let it spin. There is a button on the top of the lid that acts as a brake, and will slow and stop the basket. To maintain a minimum profile, there is a sliding lever that locks down the spring loaded handle into the lid. Although holding the lid down is recommended, even when spinning at high speed, the lid seems to stay in place pretty securely. It is kind of hard to see the mechanism inside the lid, but hopefully any metal parts are corrosion resistant, as these would probably be the only things that might normally fail. The Oxo spinner is a little pricey, and takes up some space, but with a near perfect design, it is highly recommended if you enjoy serving a terrific salad. It appears to be made of high quality materials, that should provide excellent results for a very long time, and is available in a variety of colors and sizes. If you get one, the odds are very high that you will love it. Bon appetite!

Prettier version of the classic from OXO,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: OXO Good Grips Green Salad Spinner (Kitchen)
I purchased this replacement after considering other brands -- saw that the pull
string types etc had mixed reviews. I have to say that the original which lasted me 8+ years until someone threw the bowl in the dishwasher, was fantastic. The only con was the fact that the dishwasher destroyed the bowl which cracked up. Guess my children might have sat on it and broken it etc also, was considering the stainless steel version, but fell in love with this versions looks, and the handy light weight feel. To describe this version, the outside bowl is clear, the inside colander and all trim are green. Very pleasant to look at vs the clinical clear, black and white looks of the original. It is beautifully designed with a non- slip base, a lock so that the pop up handle which you press down to spin can be locked down for storage, and a button to stop the spin immediately with a brake. All features identical to the old version.

Green With Envy,
By Amfi (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: OXO Good Grips Green Salad Spinner (Kitchen)
I bought this as a gift for someone - and I'm a bit envious as I have the original white one. This one is gorgeous! I love this salad spinner because it works. The pull-string type reverse direction with each pull of the cord and you can never get up to a sufficient speed. This newer model also has a snap out lid liner for easy rinsing. There's a brake on the lid which even Jacques Pepin didn't seem to know about on one of his cooking shows! If you love salads, how can you live without one of these?
