Salad Spinners: Reviews

With its comfortable hand pump, no-skid base and brake button, which stops it mid-spin, the OXO Good Grips is the best-designed salad spinner on the market, reviewers say. It does a great job drying greens in testing, and… its capacity is nearly five quarts, or approximately 20 cups of salad. Although the pump locks in the down position for storage, at 10 inches wide, this spinner is bulky. And although OXO claims its spinners are dishwasher-safe, reviews say the bowls can warp during the drying cycle. Owners don't really mind, though -- they say a dunk in soapy water is all it takes to clean this simple device.

The OXO Good Grips Little Salad and Herb Spinner does just as good a job as its larger sibling, and at 8 inches wide, it's a little easier to store. Its smaller size makes it a better choice for fragile produce, such as… berries. This smaller spinner boasts the same no-skid base, brake and pump lock. The basket holds nearly 2.5 quarts, or approximately 10 cups of salad. Owners say that this spinner is effective at removing excess water from herbs and fruit, but a few reviewers believe that the larger spinner offers better value.

If kitchen cabinet space is scarce, reviews say you should consider Spin 'n Stor bags. They couldn't be easier to use: just fill the bag with washed greens, spin in a wide arc 10 or 12 times and empty water from the bag's… reservoirs into the sink. Salad can be stored in the fridge, right in the bag. The only downside to these reusable bags is that they must be hand washed and air dried, and they will eventually wear out.
