Product Information
One-Touch OXO Salad Spinner: Did you know that OXO invented the one-touch salad spinner? Its one-handed pump gives you maximum drying of lettuce with minimum effort
What Makes the OXO Salad Spinner OXO Better: This salad spinner has been designed to be the best - from the one-touch press to pump with force to the patented brake to stop the basket immediately with a simple press. And the non-skid base keeps it firmly in place
Store Salad Spinner Neatly After Use: When you're done using the spinner as a fruit and vegetable cleaner, press the pump handle down, then slide the storage lock into place. This holds the pump flush with the lid for stacking and storing
Multi-Tasker Not Just For Lettuce: The OXO salad spinner doubles as a vegetable and fruit strainer, and as a serving bowl. Spin lettuce, herbs, beans or fruit. Or use it for meal prep as a lettuce keeper - wash your lettuce before dinner, pop it in the fridge and take it out when ready to serve
Lid Comes Apart for Easy Clean: The lid comes apart on this salad spinner, so moisture won't build up. All parts are dishwasher safe - top rack is recommended

Frequently Asked Questions
Does drying greens thoroughly actually help me eat healthier salads?
Yes. Excess water on lettuce and leafy greens dilutes dressing, causes sogginess, and often makes people skip salads altogether. The OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner uses a one-touch pump to remove surface moisture, so dressings cling properly and salads stay crisp, encouraging you to stick with your clean-eating routine.
Can I pre-wash my greens in the morning and store them for dinner?
Absolutely. The bowl doubles as a storage container. Wash and spin your greens in the morning, snap the lid in place, and refrigerate until dinnertime. The disassemblable lid also lets air circulate, helping keep produce fresh without trapped moisture.
Will the spinning motion bruise delicate herbs like basil or mint?
For tender herbs, a quick gentle pump is enough. The patented brake lets you stop the basket the instant you want, so you control the spin intensity and avoid over-handling delicate leaves.
Is the bowl made from materials that are safe for daily food contact?
Yes. All components that touch your food are BPA-free and top-rack dishwasher safe, so you can use it every day for wellness-focused meal prep without concern about chemicals leaching into your produce.
Can I use the same bowl to wash fruit and then serve it on the table?
Yes. The OXO Salad Spinner is designed to move seamlessly from prep to presentation. Wash berries, apples, or stone fruit, then bring the same bowl to the table as a clean serving piece, reducing the number of dishes in your wellness routine.
I am building a healthier kitchen from scratch. Is this a good first tool to buy?
It is one of the most practical starting points. If your goal is more raw vegetables and greens at home, the single biggest barrier is soggy, unappetizing results. A reliable spinner removes that friction and makes salad the easiest meal in your day.
Does one-handed operation matter when I am also holding a child or a phone?
Yes, the one-touch press-and-pump is built exactly for that. You can press and spin with one hand while keeping the other free, which is a real benefit for parents and busy multitaskers building healthy habits.
Will the non-skid base stop it from sliding on my smooth quartz countertop?
The non-skid base grips most smooth countertop surfaces, including quartz, granite, and laminate, keeping the bowl steady while you pump and reducing noise during use.
How does this compare to washing greens by hand in a colander?
A colander removes some water but leaves greens damp, which leads to soggy salads. The OXO Spinner removes significantly more water with a fraction of the effort, and it doubles as a storage and serving bowl, so you replace several tools with one.
Is a spinner better than a paper-towel drying method?
For most people, yes. Paper towels waste product, take longer, and do not dry evenly. A spinner handles a full batch of greens in seconds with consistent results, and the parts are reusable, aligning better with a sustainable wellness lifestyle.
I am worried this will be another gadget I stop using. What makes it different?
The reason most gadgets fail is that they only do one thing. This spinner washes, spins, strains, stores, and serves. Because it replaces five tools, it tends to stay on the counter and in the rotation rather than migrating to a back cabinet.
Is the 6.22 quart size too much for a single person focused on portion control?
Not necessarily. The larger bowl lets you prep several days of greens at once, which actually supports portion control because your vegetables are pre-washed and ready to weigh or plate. Single users often prefer the family size for that reason.
Will using it daily feel like a chore or a calming ritual?
Most users find the rhythmic pump satisfying, almost meditative, and the one-handed operation removes friction. It becomes a small, grounding step in the cooking ritual rather than another task on the list.
How do I wash and dry lettuce in the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner?
Rinse your lettuce under cold running water, place the leaves in the spinner basket, add water to the bowl if needed for a second rinse, then press the pump a few times to spin. Press the brake button to stop the basket instantly, lift out the basket, and pour out any remaining water. Your greens are ready to serve or store.
How do I clean and disassemble the lid?
Press the release buttons on the lid to separate the pump mechanism from the bowl cover. All components, including the basket, bowl, and lid parts, are top-rack dishwasher safe. For a quick hand wash, separate the parts and wash them in warm soapy water, then let them air dry fully before reassembling to prevent hidden moisture.
Can I wash and store other vegetables besides lettuce?
Yes. The spinner works well for herbs like parsley and cilantro, spinach, arugula, kale, broccoli florets, and other sturdy produce. For very delicate herbs, use short, gentle pumps to avoid bruising.
Does it fit in a standard refrigerator door or shelf?
The 6.22 quart bowl fits comfortably on most refrigerator shelves. It is too tall for door storage on most refrigerators, but it is sized to sit on a standard middle or lower shelf.
Is the bowl compatible with other OXO accessories or replacement parts?
OXO sells replacement baskets and lids designed to fit the 6.22 quart Good Grips Salad Spinner. Aftermarket parts from other brands are not guaranteed to fit properly.
What is included in the box when I order it?
The box includes the outer bowl, the spinner basket with handle, and the lid with the integrated one-touch pump and brake. No additional parts are required to start using it. Replacement parts are sold separately by OXO if ever needed.
Is it safe to use with hot water or for cooked vegetables?
It is designed primarily for cold-water washing of raw produce. Hot water can warp the plastic over time and may also cook delicate greens. For cooked vegetables, a traditional colander is a better fit.
What happens if the pump or brake stops working?
OXO stands behind its products and offers replacement parts for the pump mechanism, lid, and basket. Contact OXO customer service directly with your order details, and they will typically send a replacement component or the full unit depending on the issue.
What is the difference between a salad spinner and a colander?
A colander only strains water away from food, leaving produce damp. A salad spinner washes, spins, and dries greens using centrifugal force, removing significantly more surface water. A spinner also doubles as a storage and serving bowl, which a colander does not.
