It has the elements expected from Oxo's trusted brand, plus a sleek design that looks as good on the table serving your freshly spun salad as it does on the counter as a tool.

Even though the bowl is half rubber, it looks attractive enough to use for serving, and the large colander is very useful. The Zyliss Swift Dry and OXO models featured detachable plates that kept lettuce away from their gears. We last tested salad spinners in 2016, when we named the Zyliss Swift Dry Salad Spinner our favorite. Some of the spinners we tested were dishwasher-safe, so that's an easy and effective option to get your spinner clean. Similar to other spinners, it cleans greens with a simple process: Just fill with lettuce and water, swish everything around to remove debris, then drain and spin to dry.For its high capacity output, the foldable salad spinner stows exceptionally well in any home kitchen. Others rave about the sturdiness of its non-slip base, as well as how the spinner doubles as a colander and serving bowl. A salad spinner is not a necessity, but it does make meal prep a lot easier—and not just for greens. The lack of a non-slip base made stabilizing the spinner more challenging, and the plastic wasn't as heavy-duty as she'd wished. Our top pick is the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner because it is easy to use and effective at quickly drying any type of greens.

It dried lettuce well and could accommodate large portions of greens, but if you’re looking for a plastic model, we still think the speed of the Zyliss is hard to beat. We appreciated that the clear bowl made it easy to see when the greens were dry, and the brake was instantly responsive when pushed. But, overall, cleaned and spun greens of all kinds will last longer than if you just pop the bag or tub of greens in the fridge. The bowl and colander fold up into a quarter of their size, so you can squeeze it in the tiniest spots of your pantry.For example, someone with mobility restrictions in their hands or wrists will likely benefit from a model with a push button or pump rather than a pull cord or knob. At the end of testing, run the dishwasher-safe components of each spinner through the dishwasher to ensure they come out unscathed.
