 It is fun. November 2, 2008
Marc Mehlman (Milford, CT United States)
It is fun to use and clean up is pretty easy. It is built well. And my salads taste fresher.
Nothing better October 30, 2008

I started to read the negative reviews on this item (I rarely read anything else, since this is where you get either needed info or a good laugh). I just couldn't believe what people were saying about this almost perfect device.
I've been using mine for over 5 years now, and it does much more than "salad spinning". You can literally let your imagination go wild with this thing.
A Quality Kitchen Essential October 30, 2008

There are less expensive salad spinners, but this is ultimately the one to rely on. It is worth every penny. The ergonomic OXO design is flawless, as usual, and easy to use with wet hands during a flurry of preparation activity like making a quick dressing. I particularly like the pump action which leaves me free to multitask while getting the dry leaves I insist on. This is a much better approach than a hand-cranked or battery-operated spin system, approaches that wound up in the trash. I keep a year around kitchen garden, so this OXO spinner gets a daily workout. It is dishwasher safe and sturdy enough to take the bowl and basket with me into the garden. The practical design makes rinsing and drying a snap. I fill the basket and bowl with fresh-picked lettuce and top it off with water for a quick soak to loosen any soil or organic visitors, then pour off the water, removing the bowl to rinse. A good trick for crispy greens is to refill the bowl with fresh water and drop a few ice cubes in with the greens for a few minutes. Meanwhile, make a quick, fresh dressing in the bottom of your serving bowl. Rinse and spin dry. Place the dry leaves on top of the dressing and don't toss until you get to the table. Don't have a garden? Grow mesclun mix in a large pot for a continual harvest using scissors, leaving the roots in place. A mere 35 days from seed to table. Try Renee's Garden "Paris Market Mix." Cleaned, dry greens get very crisp and store well in a refrigerated spinner for a few days. Yes, the container is a little large, but it needs to be, and aren't great salads something worth making room for?
Salad spinner saves time and keeps salads fresher October 28, 2008

My wife and I eat salads every day. Before we starting using the salad spinner we were throwing a lot of salad ingrediants away. The salad spinner makes cleaning greens easy. Once the salad is made, the salad spinner dries the greens and keeps the salad fresher longer. The large capacity salad bowl stores a couple of days worth of salads. It helps keep salad prep time down to a minimum. We think it was well worth the investment.
 Horrible! October 27, 2008

When I received this Oxo salad spinner as a gift, I gave away my trusty MIU salad spinner.
Big mistake!
The Oxo salad spinner didn't spin anywhere near as fast as the MIU spinner = lettuce doesn't get dry enough. Plus, the Oxo salad spinner was big, clunky and hard to store.
Do yourself a favor and buy the MIU salad spinner. It holds more lettuce, spins faster (so your lettuce gets drier), and actually fits inside your fridge when you want to chill your freshly washed lettuce for dinner.
