As someone who graduated from culinary school, I’ve logged countless hours in the kitchen. Working as a shopping writer, I’ve also tested my fair share of kitchen gadgets. Let me be clear: Many of these tools are unnecessary. Take the garlic press, for example—I firmly believe it’s an overrated tool (it just adds to your cleaning pile! With proper knife skills, mincing garlic is a breeze and takes mere seconds).
However, a salad spinner? Absolutely, everyone should own a reliable salad spinner. Especially one as thoughtfully designed as the OXO Good Grips Large Salad Spinner. Celebrating its 26th anniversary this July, the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner has earned over 32,500 five-star reviews on Amazon, a testament to its enduring popularity and quality.
OXO Good Grips Large Salad Spinner

This spinner is incredibly user-friendly, featuring a one-touch operation and doubling as a colander. As one enthusiastic Amazon reviewer noted, it’s “lightning fast” and perfect for achieving crisp, dry salads. The non-slip pump and brake button allow for easy one-handed use, while the removable basket can be used separately as a colander for draining pasta, beans, or steamed vegetables. The clear bowl also doubles as a stylish serving dish for your salads.
I’ve relied on this spinner for years, ever since OXO sent me a sample. From the very first use, it’s clear why it’s a top performer on Amazon’s best-sellers list for salad spinners. In fact, it sold approximately 40,000 units last month on the platform alone.
Customers rave that it “truly lives up to its reputation,” with one reviewer declaring it the “best lettuce dryer they’ve ever used.” This is no surprise, as OXO has meticulously refined the product through four versions since its debut in 1998, ensuring it’s both durable and easy to use. (For more details on its innovative design process, visit the brand’s website.)
As another customer enthusiastically shared, “Using this is a joy! It turns healthy eating into a pleasure rather than a hassle.” I wholeheartedly agree. With more greens and less time spent on tedious prep work, what’s not to love?
The OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner is available for purchase on Amazon and oxo.com.
