OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner – Large Clear and White Plastic, Model 32480

Product Overview

The OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner model 32480 is a manually operated kitchen tool for washing and drying leafy greens, herbs, vegetables, and similar produce. It combines a clear outer bowl, removable perforated basket, fitted lid, pump-operated spinning mechanism, brake control, and non-slip base.

The pump mechanism turns the internal basket rapidly, using centrifugal force to move excess water away from washed produce. A built-in brake allows the rotating basket to be stopped without manually touching it. The basket can also be removed and used separately as a colander for rinsing and draining produce.

Verified specifications for model 32480 identify a 6.22-quart outer bowl and a 4.95-quart basket. The principal construction material is plastic, and the food-contact components are identified as BPA-free. Components are dishwasher safe, while the lid can be separated for more thorough cleaning. OXO introduced its original pump-operated salad spinner in 1998 and later revised the design while retaining the pump-and-brake operating concept. The specific catalog record documented on this page is identified by ASIN B00004OCKR.

• Separate the outer bowl, basket, and lid before cleaning when practical.
• The product is identified as dishwasher safe.
• The lid can be taken apart for more thorough cleaning.
• Rinse away food residue before it dries inside basket openings or lid components.
• Allow components to dry before reassembly or enclosed storage.
• Avoid forcing the pump mechanism beyond its normal travel.
• Inspect the basket and bowl for cracks or other damage before continued food use.
• Keep the non-slip base clean so it can maintain contact with the countertop.

Safety Information

The OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner is a manually operated kitchen tool without blades, electrical components, or heating elements. Normal kitchen handling precautions still apply during use and cleaning.

• Place the spinner on a stable, level countertop before operating the pump.
• Keep fingers and utensils out of the basket while it is rotating.
• Use the brake mechanism rather than attempting to stop the basket manually.
• Do not use cracked or significantly damaged food-contact components.
• Do not use the spinner as cookware or place it directly on a heat source.
• Keep the plastic components away from open flames and excessive heat.
• The product is identified as BPA-free.

Technical Specifications

Product History

OXO introduced its original pump-activated salad spinner in 1998. The design differed from many earlier salad spinners that relied on hand cranks or pull cords. OXO has documented that the operating concept was influenced by the action of a child’s spinning top.

The pump design allows downward hand pressure to rotate the internal basket. OXO later added or refined features including the brake mechanism, locking pump, removable lid components, and storage-oriented lid profile while retaining the basic operating principle.

Model 32480 represents a large Good Grips plastic salad spinner associated with a 6.22-quart bowl and 4.95-quart basket. OXO currently lists an updated large Salad Spinner under SKU 32480V2B. That later SKU is related to the continuing product family but should not automatically be treated as identical to every historical model 32480 specification.

Key Features

• Manual one-handed pump operation.
• Built-in brake for stopping the rotating basket.
• Large removable perforated basket.
• Basket functions separately as a colander.
• Clear outer bowl.
• Non-slip base for countertop stability.
• Pump can be locked down for lower-profile storage.
• Lid separates for cleaning.
• Dishwasher-safe construction.
• BPA-free food-contact components.

• Outer bowl can be used independently after removing the basket and lid.
• No appliance compatibility is required.
• Components from smaller OXO salad spinners should not be assumed to fit model 32480.
• Replacement components from newer large OXO spinner revisions should be confirmed for exact model compatibility before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What model is B00004OCKR?

The supplied product record identifies the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner model 32480, a large manual salad spinner with a clear outer bowl and white internal components.

What does a salad spinner do?

A salad spinner removes surface water from washed produce by rapidly rotating a perforated basket. Water moves outward through the basket and collects in the surrounding bowl.

How is the OXO spinner operated?

The user presses the pump on top of the lid to rotate the internal basket. Repeated presses increase or maintain basket rotation without requiring an electrical motor.

How is the basket stopped?

The lid includes a dedicated brake control. Pressing the brake slows and stops the spinning basket without requiring direct contact with the moving basket.

Can the basket be used without the spinner?

Yes. The removable perforated basket can function as a colander for rinsing and draining compatible produce.

Can the outer bowl be used separately?

Yes. Once the basket and lid are removed, the clear outer bowl can function as a preparation or serving container.

Does the salad spinner require electricity?

No. The spinning mechanism is powered manually through the top-mounted pump.

Does it require batteries?

No batteries are required because the spinner contains no powered motor or electronic control system.

Is the OXO salad spinner dishwasher safe?

Yes. OXO identifies the salad spinner as dishwasher safe. The lid can also be separated to expose areas that may otherwise be difficult to clean.

Can the lid be taken apart for cleaning?

Yes. The lid is designed to separate for more thorough cleaning of the lid and spinning mechanism.

Is the plastic BPA-free?

Yes. OXO identifies the current construction associated with this salad-spinner design as BPA-free.

Can it be used for herbs?

Yes. Herbs that can be placed securely inside the basket can be rinsed and spun to remove excess water.

Can it be used for fruit?

The basket can rinse and drain small produce that fits securely inside it. Delicate fruit can be damaged by vigorous spinning, so the appropriate spinning intensity depends on the produce.

Can it dry vegetables other than lettuce?

Yes. The mechanism can remove water from many leafy vegetables and other suitable produce. Items should fit without preventing the basket from rotating freely.

Does the pump stay raised during storage?

No. The pump can be locked in its lowered position, producing a flatter lid profile for cabinet or shelf storage.

Why does the spinner have a non-slip base?

The non-slip base is intended to reduce movement on the countertop while the internal basket is rotating.

Does this model require assembly?

No permanent assembly is required. The basket fits inside the bowl, and the lid is placed over the top before spinning.

What are the exact dimensions of model 32480?

Public sources provide conflicting dimensional measurements for the product associated with this catalog record. Exact dimensions are therefore omitted rather than selecting one conflicting measurement.

What is the UPC for model 32480?

Multiple public product databases associate different UPC values with model 32480 and B00004OCKR. A UPC is therefore not presented as verified on this reference page.

Is model 32480 the same as SKU 32480V2B?

They belong to the same large OXO Salad Spinner product line, but 32480V2B is a later SKU used in current OXO documentation. Revision-specific specifications should not automatically be applied to the earlier 32480 record.

Does OXO provide warranty coverage?

The product falls within OXO’s general Better Guarantee where applicable. OXO states that qualifying defects in materials or workmanship under normal household use may be eligible for replacement or refund, subject to current guarantee terms and exclusions.

Buying Considerations

Important considerations for a salad spinner include bowl capacity, storage space, cleaning requirements, operating mechanism, and the amount of produce normally prepared at one time. This model belongs to OXO’s larger salad-spinner size rather than its compact herb-spinner category.

• Consider whether a 6.22-quart outer bowl is appropriate for available cabinet and counter space.
• Account for the 4.95-quart usable basket capacity rather than treating total bowl volume as usable spinning capacity.
• Confirm model 32480 when researching historical versions or replacement components.
• Do not assume that parts from the smaller OXO Little Salad and Herb Spinner are interchangeable.
• Verify compatibility before using components marketed for newer SKU 32480V2B with an older unit.
• Consider the number of lid components when planning routine cleaning.
• Inspect older plastic units for cracks, clouding, or mechanical wear before continued food use.
• Keep the non-slip base clean if countertop stability is important during operation.

Customer Feedback Summary

This section summarizes recurring themes reported across publicly available customer feedback and independent kitchen-equipment evaluations. These observations represent generalized user experiences and are not verified product specifications.

Positive feedback commonly focuses on the pump mechanism and relatively simple one-handed operation. Users frequently report that repeated pump presses produce enough basket speed to remove substantial surface water from leafy greens without the hand-crank or pull-cord operation found on some competing designs.

The brake mechanism is another recurring positive theme. Independent testing and consumer discussions often describe it as responsive when stopping the basket. The non-slip base and removable colander basket are also frequently mentioned as practical parts of the overall design.

Users commonly value the large capacity for batches of lettuce and other greens. The clear bowl is also discussed positively because its contents and collected water remain visible, and the bowl can serve additional preparation functions after the spinning components are removed.

Reported limitations generally concern physical size and cleaning. A large spinner occupies considerable cabinet space even with the pump locked down. Some users also report that areas within the lid require more attention during cleaning than the simple bowl and basket.

Long-term feedback includes occasional reports of plastic becoming scratched, cloudy, or cracked after extended use. Other users describe many years of operation without mechanical failure. These outcomes vary with age, cleaning practices, dishwasher exposure, storage, and physical handling.
