It’s quite possible OXO will be mentioned in my eulogy. They’re so engrained in my every day life. And I do love them and their products so much.
They sent me their salad spinner a few months back and it will, of course, be included in the how-did-I-live-without-this-item-for-so-long? list. It’s awesome. And lately, with the hot summer temps, it’s been used a lot.
You must have one. It not only cleans lettuce, but it’s fun to use :D
Now’s your chance to win one, thanks to OXO for honoring my request. I didn’t even have to beg. They rock. (Side note: I am not beyond begging for OXO stuff.)

Here’s to OXO and clean, dry lettuce!
I would love to win one!
Never had a salad spinner before – looks very cool :)
I HAVE YET TO USE A SALAD SPINNER BUT I LOVE SALAD AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING ONE SOON .
My OXO salad spinner is a staple in my kitchen!!! Cannot live without it. I have impressed by mom so much with it, using it not only to spin salad, but berries, tomatoes, and other freshly washed produce, that she just went out and had to get one for herself. Now there is only soggy salad in my mother-in-law’s house!!! I’ve told her about your product, and would love to give it a try for herself, but just hasn’t gotten around to purchasing yet. So, this entry will hopefully let me win one for her, so we can all enjoy that crunchy delicious side dish every time.
Wendy Jo, here’s a tip: Put the lettuce in a pillow case before throwing it that basement floor model spinner! Of course I really think you’re just funnin’ about the piece by piece… aren’t you?
I’ve wanted an OXO salad spinner (and a bunch of their other products) since I saw Alton Brown use it on Good Eats. I am disappointed, however, that OXO products are manufactured in China rather than the U.S. But if I won one, it wouldn’t be my choice not to buy American.
I love OXO products. They all rock but I would especially love a Salad Spinner.
I really enjoyed the video on the OXO salad spinner! Would love to win it. I have been a big fan of OXO products ever since I had carpal tunnel problems and they made my life so much easier. Anybody out there w/ elderly parents who are hard to buy presents for? Here’s a hint: a gift basket full of OXO products is a guaranteed hit! Lots of things to make their lives easier, too. (We like Snorg Tees too, btw!)
I’d love one of these. OXO rocks but I’ve never owned a salad spinner before. Sounds like fun!
I would love to win this. I have a very old one that’s more like a crank, not cool and fun like this one. Then if I win this I can turn the old one into a Spin Art container. Remember Spin Art? Great Op Art in just seconds. The kids love it and quite frankly so do I. I hope I win. It will be nice to pump the water right out of my lettuce and leave it to OXO to make the very best!
I just wanted to comment that I love OXO products(all of them). I’ve purchased several hand-held products and love the results I get from them. OXO has made my life much easier. I don’t know how I ever managed before without them. Thank you OXO.
Sincerely
Ms. Annette Gonzalez
(Huge OXO fan)
I love to cook for my family (3 children, their spouses, 5 grandchildren) and would love to win the OXO Salad Spinner. I know it would make my time spent in the kitchen more enjoyable.
Pretty cool. I have never used a salad spinner in my life. Always wet lettuce for me!
I need an OXO salad spinner!
Over the last two years, I’ve been helping my boyfriend stock up his place with kitchen essentials. Definitely on my list are the Salad Spinner and mandolin. This would be a GREAT addition to his OXO collection! :)
OXO is my big helper!
Used to have a salad spinner years ago. It broke though :( Love the tool!
Definitely in my top 5 must have kitchen tool list!!
I’m leaving a comment so I can be entered in the contest, salad spinner, yay clean lettuce! :)
Great video. I gave OXO products for Christmas last year and everyone loved them. I have several of their products myself, but not the spinner. I really could use something to was my socks and small, greasy tools and connectors
yay! OXO rocks and I really love salads too!
I love oxo products. Would love to win the salad spinner, it looks so neat. On a fixed income, and don’t get to buy everything I would like too, but I do have some oxo products love them thanks oxo
i feel i need one of these. yes. yes i do.
I love OXO especially my salad spinner!
I love my OXO salad spinner and the newer ones look fabulous.
I ???????? OXO PRODUCTS!!!!!! I hope I win, I’ve ALWAYS wanted one…surviving on disability doesn’t always allow for such purchases!!???
I would love to win! I a new Facebook fan as Deb Jacobs & a new twitter follower as @debralu. Thanks for the chance!
Love the OXO salad spinner! I just bought one for each of my sons, but didn’t get one for myself. If I don’t win one:( , then I’ll probably have to buy another to replace my old Zyliss that works on a string pull and requires two hands.
Great site. You have inspired me to work harder on my own site! And yeah – OXO is the best. I always recommend their products and I use them my self. I have arthritis and OXO allows me to keep doing what I love.
Love OXO products!! Fingers crossed I win!
Love OXO too and need a new spinner!
What a useful and quality product. Would love to win one.
I enjoy your site and learning about new products.
Thank you for a quality line of products.
I need one of these bad pleeezzzzzzzzzz!! Would like the stainless steel one!
I love OXO! This salad spinner looks so much easier to use than others I’ve seen. This product would definately make me want to eat more salads! I hope I win! THANKS!
Wait a minute. I’ve been bending over the side of that huge mechanical gentle cycle spinner in my apartment building basement for the last few years. It’s been a pain in the butt pulling the lettuce out piece by piece off the sides of that huge drum. Who knew OXO made a counter top version I could keep in my kitchen. Thanks for the video. I really need to get one of these.
The video reminds me of me and my husband. I can see him, trying to dry his socks or underwear in the spinner, and me having to take the spinner and hide it. *lol*
Been an OXOphile for the past 15 yrs, still going strong!
This is something I would LOVE to add to my kitchen. My daughter and I have decided it’s time to really get serious about eating healthier and we love salads. Being the conservative I am……I hate using paper products and frown upon using paper towels to dry our leafy greens. My daughter, however isn’t fond of my “shake, shake, shake method” to get the water from the greens. A salad spinner would be an AWESOME win!! Thank you for the wonderful opportunity!!
I’m going to show your blog to my family, who thinks that I need some kind of intervention for my Oxo love. Their stuff is just awesome.
I have a salad spinner but it is so hard to use so it is just taking up vital space in my limited cabinets. The video makes the OXO spinner look so easy and the appearance of the spinner would mean I could leave it out and be proud!
I love Oxo products! I hope I win a salad spinner.
I have to say your videos are down right funny!!! Plus I love OXO products too, never had an OXO product that I didn’t like. :)
I love my salad spinner! OXO makes such great products!
So I wanted to help my sister-in-law out at a BBQ a few weekends ago. She asked me to make the salad. She said to rinse it off and spin it in her Oxo Salad Spinner. “Ok!”, I said. It looked easy enough. So I rinsed out all the lettuce, chopped it up and loaded up the Salad Spinner. I’d never used one before and was delighted with how easy it seemed to be to use. So I decided to really pump the thing up (not realizing that I’d crammed WAY too much lettuce into the Spinner) to see how fast I could make it go. I started laughing, let go of the thing and just as I was going to call my sister-in-law’s attention to my masterful Salad Spinning skills, the thing started to wobble, the lid popped off and lettuce SPUN out EVERYWHERE.
Well, I was relieved of my salad spinning duties for that day, but we really did get a good laugh out of it – to the point of tears and I REALLY want one of these things! :o) Have a happy summer, everyone!
Glad he didn’t spin the socks!! lol I would of never thought of salad in a spinner again!! lol Ugh!!
There is nothing worse than a wet soggy salad,,I dont have a spinner so I spend a lot of time trying to get my lettuce dry with paper towels
I am going to have to get one of these spinners!
I have never had a salad spinner and would love to have one. Being a diabetic AND having kidney failure, lettuce is something I can eat!! Would love to just spin away!!!
Oh, this would be so wonderful to have! Thank you for the chance to win.
I Would love to win one! I need a good salad spinner the one i had was dangerous! everytime i would spin it it would about fly off the counter and it leaked water everywhere.

This is perfect for summer! And salad is my favorite thing to make then. Thanks for the wonderful chance – FB fan: Dee Pearlstein
LOVE OXO products! They are the best kitchen purchases I have made in a very long time! Spin, Salad Spinner, Spin!!!!
I am a FB fan (Sarah Weiss)
I can no longer live without a salad spinner. I need this!
I am a big OXO fan and would love to win the salad spinner. I’ve always wanted one but never bought one.
This is so funny!!! I love the green color as well!!
I really want one!!!
Our salad spinner has saved my salad more times than I can count. BUT, I have always wondered how to get my dog food dry! Paul is onto something there! ;) Great video, as always, guys!
Super, super funny…and I would LOVE a new salad spinner. For Paul: Does OXO make a razor? heehee.
I’m not beyond begging for OXO products either :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!
I would love this salad spinner! My old one with a string drives me crazy! Wind and rewind! This looks awesome!
Not sure where I’d store it, but I’d love a salad spinner:-)
my lettuce is dirty.
save me.
please.
Great way to end my day with a chuckle after watching this video!
Great product, too.
I love salad spinners. Too much fun…
Every kitchen and chef needs a spinner. And I don’t have one….but sure would love one!?! Thanks, Amy, for all the good tips….AND recipes!
And to think, my salad spinner is one of the two OXO products that I actually own! I can attest to its awesomeness though.
woohoo! this looks awesome!
My salad spinner is VERY old and somewhat decrepit. I could certainly use a new one!
I’ve been debating and debating (and debating) with myself over whether or not I need a salad spinner. I did just join a CSA, which means a lot of leafy greens, and boy, are they a pain to wash and store sometimes! Maybe it’s time to bite the bullet?
Oh boy, I have missed mine since I last wore one out and cheaped with a string pull one, crappy Zyliss…
Look at Paul Popeil rocking the salad spinner! LOVED IT! You guys always make me laugh. I have a salad spinner, but I have to say, this one is nicer. So if I win, I’ll give my crappy one to someone I don’t like a lot, lol!! Seems fair right?
LOL. I won’t tell…
I have one of the “original” salad spinners, black & white, OXO colors!! Love, just LOVE mine! My husband is part rabbit. So we use ours too much. I have 4 turtles and I use it to spin out their romaine and their dandelion leaves. It works great for coleslaw, gets all the excess water out, who likes soupy coleslaw. Dang, I sound like a commercial! Since I have one, my son is getting married soon, I’m sure my daughter inlaw would love one!!!
“I have 4 turtles and I use it to spin out their romaine and their dandelion leaves…” Shut up! I love it! I’m that crazy neighbor that actually used to leave gourmet nuts outside for the squirrels and birds, in separate zones, of course. Oh my god, I’m not well ;-)
I need a salad spinner!
Love those OXO products!
Everybody needs one!! A funny husband, I mean! No, really, great salad spinner. I too really like OXO products. So does MY funny husband!
Love Paul’s shirt and love all things OXO!
I already have the OXO salad spinner, and I love it! It would make an awesome gift for someone special.
You spin me right round baby right round like a head of lettuce right round round round!! This looks awesome Amy!!!
Ooh, I want this, but I must stay out of Target, or else. Sign me up!
Very cool! I’d definitely use a salad spinner!
I would like to spin some salad. Also I would like to spin some hip platters for the kids at the sock hop.
I lurve OXO too.
Growing lettuce in my mini garden this year. This would be wonderful to have.
So funny, I’ve wanted to get one of these for a long time but thought it was too expensive! I am part of a CSA this year so it would get lots of use!
I’ve had my eye on a salad spinner for a while now!
I could use a salad spinner! I bought one for someone as a wedding present…but wanted to keep it for myself!
would love to win this! Perfect for summer salads :o)
This would be awesome, I love OXO !!!!!!!!!!
I need a new one so bad, I hope it comes in orange. That would make me happy!
