International Home + Housewares Show 2013: The Latest and Greatest from OXO

By Core Jr - March 19, 2013

in International Home + Housewares Show

It was impossible to walk into OXO's booth at the 2013 International Home + Housewares Show without a swift recollection of a certain recent incident that might henceforth be known as a 'dustpan dustup.' The New York-based company hasn't missed a beat since they took the high road with their response, and their stalwart team of designers and engineers has remained focused on innovation and iteration in product development, exemplified by the new wares on display at McCormick Place.

The 3-in-1 Egg Separator

The latest generation of salad spinners, for example, have flat tops for easier storage; the smaller model was introduced for the Japanese market

We had the chance to talk to a couple of their Category Managers, who kindly demoed the new Cookie Press, for which they 3D-printed numerous prototype disks before arriving at the final dozen, and the Mouthwash Dispenser, which will be available soon.

See more from OXO, including the Mango Slicer and Silicone Steamer, in our IHHS2013 photo gallery.

Regarding their stance on intellectual property, our Twitter followers might have noticed that OXO recently hosted an IP Primer at their NYC HQ; the full presentation is available online as a PDF here.

my sister-in-law buys the OXO salad spinners and takes them back to Italy with her because all of her friends want one after seeing hers. she has had it for years and still in perfect shape.
I have a feeling she will be taking the razor holder back with her, as well, after they see that. genius!!

@paul you must eat lots of salad - I've got two OXO units of the original round top design and they work fine. The rubber foot comes off but that's easy to replace.

When OXO (or ANYONE) makes a salad spinner that lasts more then 1 year then it will be news. Its funny with some products, even if you wanted to spend a fortune you still can't find something of quality. I buy a new salad spinner about every 12 months. What a waste.
