TrendPlain Olive Oil Sprayer Review: Great for Air Fryers, One Catch to Know
The TrendPlain 16oz glass olive oil sprayer has become one of the fastest-moving kitchen gadgets on Amazon, with over 40,000 units sold in a single month. It does two things — sprays a fine mist and pours — from one glass bottle under $10. For most home cooks, especially air fryer users, it earns its place on the counter. There is one consistent complaint, though, and it's worth knowing before you buy.
Product overview
The TrendPlain 16oz sprayer is a 2-in-1 glass bottle: flip the top one way for a pressurised mist, the other way for a direct pour. The body is clear borosilicate glass — 470ml capacity — so you can see the fill level at a glance. It comes in 10 colours (black, navy, aqua, pistachio, and others), with the coloured element being the lid rather than the bottle itself.
Each spray dispenses approximately 0.15g of oil, which is designed to give you controlled, measurable portions rather than free-pouring from a large bottle. The glass body is dishwasher safe. The lid is not — hand wash only.
Performance and real-world use
The spray mechanism works best with light oils: extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, sunflower oil. With these, reviewers consistently report an even fine mist that coats pans and air fryer baskets without pooling. The Kitchn tested it and found the spray consistent enough for everyday cooking tasks — salads, roasting vegetables, greasing baking trays.
The pour function is straightforward and works as expected.
Where it earns particular praise is as an air fryer accessory. The fine mist coats food evenly without over-oiling it, which is exactly what air fryer cooking requires. This is likely a major driver of its sales velocity — air fryers are now in a large share of US households, and most users are looking for a better oil application method than tilting a full bottle.
There is a priming step on first use — you need to pump several times before the mist fires consistently. Most users find this a one-time setup, not an ongoing issue.
- Glass construction — no plastic in contact with your oil; feels more durable and premium than the price suggests
- Dual function — spray and pour from one bottle; no need for separate tools
- Fine, consistent mist — coats evenly without saturating; works well for both cooking and finishing dishes
- Portion control — ~0.15g per spray makes it easy to keep oil use in check
- Visual fill level — clear glass means you always know how much is left
- Wide colour range — 10 lid options; easy to match a kitchen aesthetic
- Price — ~$9 single, ~$16 for two; low enough to buy multiples for different oils
- Clogs with thick oils — coconut oil, infused oils with herb particles, and any oil stored in cold conditions can block the nozzle. A warm rinse usually clears it, but if you primarily cook with coconut oil this will be a recurring issue
- Pour spout does not seal tightly — if the bottle tips on its side the pour opening can drip. It needs to be stored upright. Not ideal in a crowded cabinet
- Lid is not dishwasher safe — the glass body can go in, but the mechanism and lid must be hand washed. Minor inconvenience, but worth knowing
- Requires priming on first use — takes several pumps to build pressure initially; some buyers expect it to work straight out of the box and find this confusing
This is a good fit for home cooks who use an air fryer regularly, anyone trying to reduce oil consumption, and people who want to stop buying single-use aerosol cooking sprays. It also works well for people who cook with multiple oils and want a dedicated bottle per oil — at $9, buying two or three is still cheaper than most alternatives.
If coconut oil is your primary cooking fat, this sprayer is likely to frustrate you — thick oils clog the nozzle too easily for daily use. The same applies if you use heavily infused oils with herbs or solids in them. A simple oil pour bottle or a silicone brush would serve you better in those cases.
The TrendPlain olive oil sprayer does exactly what it promises at a price that makes it hard to argue with. The glass construction, dual spray-and-pour function, and fine mist make it a practical upgrade over aerosol cans or free-pouring. The clogging issue with thick oils is real but limited to a specific use case. For most home cooks — and especially air fryer users — this is a genuine everyday tool, not a gadget that sits in a drawer.
