how does the stainless compare to the plastic, can someone recommend one over the other?

They all fail in same amount of time. Why? Because it is the plastic top that cracks first on all three larger versions: the large all plastic, large glass and large steel bowl .So get the large size all plastic as it is 1/2 to 1/3 the price of the metal or glass version. If you make salad daily all versions will likely fail in three years or so, so you may as well get the least expensive. And you cannot replace the top of the metal or glass with the top from a plastic one. They are the exact same capacity but the tops are not interchangable. Nor can you buy the top alone from oxo!

I broke my older version plastic outer bowl. Does the old lid and basket fit into the stainless model also?

I've bought this twice. I keep melting the lid by accident. This first one fit the second one. I would guess they are the same.

Can the stainless steel bowl part go in the dishwasher on the bottom rack?

I had this spinner for almost 2 years, frequent use, my son and I loved it, and I always washed it by hand. Then this week I put it in the dishwasher on the top rack, with the metal bowl on the bottom rack. Next day my son spun lettuce in it, and it broke! There was a plastic pin in the spinner mechanism that either came unglued or broke away. It no longer spun again. Coincidence? I can't say. Now I'm debating whether to go with another of the this same brand/style or try another brand altogether. If I bought another of the same brand I could use the old bowl and drainer with it when needed. Can still use them by themselves as a non-spinner. Thinking... thinking... trying to decide.

stainless steel spinner unit is too tall for our fridge ... what do YOU do, if also so ... ?

I do not store items in this container. If you must make sure your fridge shelf can handle the height by adjusting. You can also make sure black spinner push bar is locked in down position. If all fails buy a new fridge.

Spin and dry

Good to dry all kind of leafy vegetables and not bad for cucumber and carrot and other greens as well . The steel bowl can also work as a serving bowl at the same time , durable and long lasting than the plastic model

It works well. Easy to use.

Good quality. Worth the price. The only disadvantage for me is that the lid is not do easy to clean. And it is a big bowl. Not suitable for small storage capacity.

Looks great, works alright

I bought this purely on aesthetic — to me the stainless steel bowl doubling up as a serving bowl was worth the price tag. Although I've not actually used it as serving bowl yet... so. The spinning works easily, but doesn't dry 100%. My only other comparison is the full plastic spinner from IKEA. Compared to this, IKEA's was practically bone dry (think it's partly cos it's able to spin in alternating directions, making drying much quicker). For OXO, the inner basket is plastic so I reckon there's a chance of eventual cracks too.
