OXO Grips Little Dressing Shaker Reviews Summary

Build Quality

Pros:

• "This shaker is made of strong and clear plastic."
• "The threaded body seals nicely and is unlikely to come apart in your hands."
• "This is a great, well-made little bottle."
• "This item is high quality made and very easy thing to use."
• "The plastic is BPH free, dishwasher safe (although I tend to hand wash) and feels sturdy enough."
• "Increments within cups are clearly marked, the mouth of the container is large making it easy to add liquids and dry in ingredients, and it does NOT leak."
• "The entire bottle is very easy to clean."

Cons:

• "Its leaking from the bottom from an invisible crack somewhere."
• "The plastic is getting a little cloudy after only three uses."
• "Very soon after I got this product, the little screws that hold the top on rusted."
• "Unless you use this with very thin dressings/condiments, you're going to get a crap-ton of build-up along the black lever used to open and close the shaker."
• "I can only surmise that this is because I've washed in the dishwasher, and the high temperature caused it to crack."
• "After one use, making a lemon based dressing, followed by a cycle in the dishwasher (safe); the plastic became cloudy."
• "The little screws that hold the little green lid in place completely melted."

Leakage & Sealing

Pros:

• "The lid seals tight so no leaking or spurting out when shaking."
• "This does exactly what it says, no leaks while shaking and pouring is a breeze."
• "This unit absolutely does not leak, easy to clean, and is the only salad dressing shaker you will ever need."
• "It doesn't leak either which is a real bonus, just ensure its properly closed tight and shake as hard as you like, don't worry."
• "The lid is secure and doesn't leak."
• "It doesn't leak and it pours well."
• "Seals well, shakes well, pours well, washes well in dishwasher."

Cons:

• "It also leaks a little at the small holes in the top where the pin attaches for the stopper."
• "The dressing leaks out of the top if you have it open and it is very difficult to clean the dishwasher and nearly impossible by hand."
• "It often leaks at the point where the top screws to the bottom when shaking the dressing."
• "I appreciate the concept they're going for, I just wished it didn't leak. Every time I shake this little guy the liquid either flies out or drips everywhere."
• "Unfortunately mine leaked like crazy when I shook it."
• "I travel to work every day and thought this product was leak proof. It wasn't."
• "It leaks a little bit from the dispenser part."

Design & Usability

Pros:

• "I like this primarily because it is small enough to hold easily in one hand at the same time as holding the dispenser shut."
• "Love this easy to use shaker. Just add ingredients, screw on the top, shake and it’s ready to pour."
• "I like that you can open and close it with a thumb, and that the widest part screws open so you can easily transfer your sauce."
• "This is so much better than any other dressing shaker I have ever found."
• "I like the measurements on the side of the container."
• "Top screws on securely. Non-drip pour spout with lever that is easy to open and close."
• "The design is brilliant, and cleaning it is a snap."

Cons:

• "But after you pour out your first serving, the flip cap can't really flip back down because of the dressing gathered in the pouring area."
• "A little difficult to really clean around the flip lid."
• "The pour spot is awkward to pull back with my thumb and gets clogged up with the dressing because of the design."
• "The way the product is designed the cap twists into the bottle and gets dressing on it. When you are finished, you then need to clean off the part that got dressing on it."
• "The only slight drawback is that a bit of dressing will collect on top of the spout, outside the bottle, after pouring."
• "The top is a little complicated to clean and essential to remember to close it before you shake."
• "When pouring a thicker dressing from it, the dressing tends to flow around the top seal."

Size & Capacity

Pros:

• "This is a great, well-made little bottle. I like that it is little because there is enough for everyone's dinner salad but it doesn't take up a lot of room in the fridge."
• "I like that it holds 2 cups of dressing, which is exactly the amount my vinaigrette recipe makes."
• "Great for homemade salad dressing. The smaller size only fits about a cup of liquid, so get the larger if you don’t want to make dressing every day."
• "This size bottle works well to do exactly that."
• "The small size is perfect for the dressings I make that should be used within a week and is large enough for a large group salad."
• "Enough capacity for a week's worth of big salads for 2."
• "Perfect size for one family sized salad or 3-4 nights of individual salads."

Cons:

• "They need to update this, and clarify that the small one is not 1 liter."
• "Note that it is a small size, so if you have a big family, but need to order a larger size."
• "This is a very nicely made salad dressing carafe but it's really only good for a one-person household - and even that's pushing it."
• "It’s really tiny. You will have to make dressing every day."
• "The size is a bit small though."
• "BUT, it is very small--1 cup with very little shaking room."
• "It is too small to prepare 1 cup of salad dressing."
