12 Best Salad Spinners [Tested and Reviewed]

The Good Grips Large Salad Spinner from OXO is user-friendly and has a design made from plastic.

The main body and lid fit well together, making it easy to attach the lid from any angle. It stays in place securely thanks to its non-slip features, and the large button is easy to press. With just one push, it rotates multiple times, and the presence of a stop button allows you to stop the rotation whenever, which is another convenient feature.

After spinning for about 10 seconds, the contents were slightly damp, and shaking it resulted in a few water droplets flying off. However, it did remove most of the moisture on the contents. Since the rotation speed is not fast and cannot be adjusted, if you want to thoroughly drain the water, it needs to spin for more than 10 seconds.

In terms of ease of cleaning, the lid can be disassembled, and its simple design, along with the fact that all parts are dishwasher-safe, made it popular with testers. Despite its larger size, it should fit well in a family-sized refrigerator. We recommend this salad spinner for anyone who wants to dry off vegetables effortlessly.

The OXO SteeL Salad Spinner is a product featuring a stainless steel container with a lid made of transparent resin, allowing you to check the contents from the top.

The button is large and easy to press, with a stop button allowing you to halt the rotation at whenever you want. However, the button is a bit firm, requiring some force when pressing.

After spinning for 10 seconds, most of the moisture was gone, but there were still small water droplets in some places. Since the rotation speed is slow, we'd advise to spin it for more than 10 seconds if you want to thoroughly drain the water.

All parts are dishwasher-safe, and the flat-shaped lid can be disassembled, making it less prone to accumulating food particles and moisture. Due to its larger size, it may feel a bit bulky when placed in the kitchen or stored in a small refrigerator. If you are looking for a family-sized salad spinner, this one might be worth considering.

This Easy Spin Salad Spinner from Zyliss, a Swiss kitchenware manufacturer, comes with an ergonomically-designed handle.

The lid easily sits on top of the container. The large handle is also easy to grip, and with the non-slip feature on the bottom of the container, it can be pulled securely while staying put. However, a little force was required as it is necessary to pull the cord upward. The stop button makes it convenient to pause the spinner whenever needed.

After spinning for 10 seconds, mist-like water droplets still remained. However, most water was effectively drained. If you want to thoroughly drain the water, you should pull the cord and give it another round of spinning.

After spinning for 10 seconds, small mist-like water droplets remained, and shaking the lettuce resulted in water droplets flying. To thoroughly remove water, spin it for more than 10 seconds.
