Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner
Customer Review: Can't get my greens dry!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this spinner because of the great reviews but I'm having a big problem in that I can't seem to get my lettuce dry. No matter how many times I've spun it there still seems to be a fair amount of visible water. Based on the reviews I expected to get "crisp, dry" lettuce. My lettuce is crisp but not dry and I'm afraid that if I put it into the fridge as is it will get bad fast.
So what am I doing wrong? I've tried adding a couple (or more) paper towels - that didn't help. I've tried putting less lettuce, that didnt help either. btw I'm talking about a large salad for one person. I've also tried draining it on my drainer.
If anyone knows what I should or shouldnt be doing please let me know; else I'm going to have to return it :-(

Customer Review: Great until it broke
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had my Oxo for about 3 years now. I wouldn't say I used it often, but when I did it worked just fine. I went to use it tonight and it broke. The inside top was all rusted and one of the screws snapped. The spring was also rusted. It's never been in the dishwasher and always air dried. I am going to contact Oxo to see what they have to say.Customer Review: Best thing but keep it away from the stove.

Can't say enough good things about this spinner but I've ultimately had to ditch the plastic and go with the stainless steel model. Typically when I wash greens etc., I set the whole thing out to air dry on top of the stove. Unfortunately, I've run through my 3rd and final plastic spinner because someone invariably uses an adjacent burner w/o moving the spinner. The outer bowl melts and warps, preventing the inner basket from spinning. I've rescued them in the past by reheating the warped spot and restoring it to its normal shape, but I'm done with that now.Customer Review: Great product!

This is a truly great product. My salads are so crisp and clean and the lettuce I don't immediately use stays fresh for a very long time in my refrigerator. Customer Review: Great design, so, so manufacture

We are big on salads. This model got a good workout and after 12 months the bowl cracked. Glued the bowl and the lid mechanism gave out shortly thereafter. Upgraded to the steel bowl model--thought it might be sturdier than plastic, and it is. The spinner mechanism failed after less than a week and I returned the lid to OXO. They sent me a whole new unit, so now I've got two sturdy steel bowls! Unfortunately, the spinner has now failed again, but after almost two years of fairly heavy use. We'll gladly get another because the thing really does its job beautifully. Now, if only the spinner would match up with the bowls.............. The bowls do make excellent mixing bowls.
