OXO Good Grips 6.22 Qt Salad Spinner
The OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner is the one-touch pump spinner that made washing and drying greens a 30-second job instead of a paper-towel ritual. Wash lettuce, herbs, berries or chopped vegetables in the basket, press the pump a few times, tap the brake and the leaves come out dry enough that dressing actually sticks. It is rated above 4.5 stars by more than 55,000 Amazon buyers — check the current figure on Amazon.
- One-handed pump with a built-in brake dries greens fast, so salads stay crisp instead of soggy and you eat more of them
- The 6.22-quart bowl doubles as a serving bowl and the basket as a colander, which means fewer dishes on meal-prep day
- Non-slip base keeps it planted on the counter, and the lid pump locks flat for storage

Who it suits — and who should skip it
This is for the household where salad gets eaten when it is easy and skipped when it is a chore. A spinner turns washing greens from a tea-towel-and-patience job into thirty seconds, and dry leaves are the difference between dressing that clings and dressing that pools at the bottom of the bowl.
Skip it if cupboard space is genuinely tight or you eat salad occasionally — it is a single-purpose bowl-sized object. It is also one of the pricier spinners, and a minority of reviewers say the pump mechanism stiffened over time.
Getting dry leaves, not bruised ones
- Do not overfill. Half a basket spins dry; a packed basket just moves water around.
- Spin in two short bursts rather than one long one. Delicate leaves bruise under sustained force.
- Use the bowl as a serving bowl and the basket as a colander — that is what makes a single-purpose tool earn its shelf.
Why dry leaves matter more than they sound
Water on a leaf is the reason a dressing slides off and the reason a salad goes limp in the fridge within a day. Drying greens properly is the single step that makes home salad taste closer to restaurant salad, and it is also what lets you wash a whole head at once and keep it usable for several days. That is the real case for a spinner: not the washing, the storing.
