Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Salad Spinner
Customer Review: Salad Spinner
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this product. It is so easy to spin and dry salad greens with one push of the button, it makes making a fresh salad a joy. Customer Review: More than just a little salad spinner, easy to use and clean
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazingly convenient little unit. It make quick work of salad for one or two, cleans easily, and takes up little cabinet space. Also makes cleaning fresh herbs a snap! This will rinse sand, dirt, critters and debris from a handful of mint, lemon balm, or basil making their use!) Imagine mint tea or juleps without grit, lemon balm tea without mystery additives, and basil cleaned and dried enough for fresh tomatoes and olive oil.
Fill the bowl and soak tired greens in cold water. Use the strainer to drain the water then spin the greens for a much improved crispy salad. You can even wash and soak and drain dried beans in this, leaving dirt behind.
I keep finding more uses for this small version, but its larger cousin gets almost as much use in as many different ways.
Customer Review: Worked well but not durable
Summary: 3 Stars
Used this for about 7 months. The bottom part wasn't as sturdy as we had hoped. It cracked and leaked water from the pressure of operating the spinner. Can't hold a good amount of water without bending out of shape and almost breaking. After about a year of moderate/occasional use, the spinning mechanism finally came to a grinding halt. I'm looking for a sturdier product now. Customer Review: Good Job On Salads
Summary: 4 Stars
We eat a salad nearly every day and like the convenience of the bagged salads. However, with the concern over contaminates in produce such as salads we had begun washing the greens...something we had not done previously. It has been difficult to remove all the water and the result has been a somewhat watered down salad when the dressing is added. This salad spinner does a good job of removing the excess water. Customer Review: OXO Salad Spinner
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this Spinner a few years ago and use it maybe once every few weeks. It works great for its intendend purpose - salads and veggies, but I also like to use it for pasta. If you're going to make a pasta salad and want to strain out all the water before you mix it all up with your ingredients, this works great. Like many others, I am one who likes to read the 1-star reviews 1st before deciding to purchase anything and after reading them for this, all I have to say is - I haven't tried any other salad spinners to compare this to, but maybe it is possible that the 1-star reviewers just got 'lemons' or could be that maybe this isn't good for every-single-day use? Who knows, all I know is I am giving this 5-stars because I give mine what I would think is 'normal' use and it works wonderfully!
