I bought this salad dressing mixer after having to transport homemade salad dressing to a family event in a plastic bowl with a lid. I wanted something that would mix well, travel well, measure well, and would not leak. I have used it a few times, mostly to make vinegar marinades for fresh veggies like cucumber/tomato/onion. It makes mixing so easy -- I measure 1/2 cup vinegar right inside the bottle, add my other ingredients, close, shake, and pour. It's really easy and fast. Then I just take it apart and throw it in the dishwasher, so easy cleanup. I put the shaker part in the silverware rack.
The shaker is 2 pieces - the "cup" portion and the rest, it screws together. The green shaker piece does not come off, but when you shake it easily goes up and down the middle plastic piece. I have not tried to see if it is completely leak-proof and I probably wouldn't take the chance, but it does seem to kind of secure itself when you click the pourer in, and there has been no splatter when I shake it. While it doesn't "click" closed like other travel containers, I believe it would travel well so long as it's somewhat secured upright. The more common OXO shaker on the market is more expensive and seems like it would definitely spill in transit, I don't know why this one isn't sold more! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who makes their own dressings/marinades/sauces, much easier (with less cleanup) than measuring in a bowl and whisking. Also it's a good size, it holds over 2 cups which is enough for most dressings.
Edit: After months of owning this, I really cannot express how much I love it. It makes making and transporting dressings soooo easy. I can throw together something to bring with a salad to a potluck or family dinner. I can bring it in the car and even invert it and it doesn't spill (when closed of course). It doesn't leak!! It's so easy to clean (dishwasher)! Seriously it is awesome and I don't understand why they don't sell this one in stores.

Makes it so easy to make homemade salad dressings -- with no clean-up of another bowl!
I already own the OXO Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker, Black, so wasn't sure if I needed this, but I'm so glad I got it. You can dump all the dressing ingredients right into it, and then shake it to mix everything up. So far I've used it for vinaigrettes and for thick dressings, and it has worked well for both. The seal also keeps things fresh, and it's nice to have the mixer attached since you can shake it up again after your dressing has been sitting in the fridge for a few days. It's a great little kitchen gadget that makes eating homemade dressings a lot easier!
