A lazy Susan is one of the few organizers that can make a deep cabinet easier to use without forcing you to unload the front row first. But diameter, rim height, and vertical clearance matter more than the word “turntable” on the box.

We chose five designs for different jobs: a simple everyday turntable, a larger model, a two-tier option, a divided option, and a value pick with a strong non-skid design.

1. OXO 11-Inch Not So Lazy Susan — best overall

An 11-inch turntable is a useful middle ground for standard kitchen cabinets. OXO’s model uses a deep ledge and non-slip surfaces to help bottles and jars remain stable while the tray rotates.

Best for: sauces, oils, vitamins, nut butters, spice jars, coffee accessories, and cleaning bottles.

Why we like the design: it does not add unnecessary compartments. That makes it flexible when the mix of products changes.

Measure first: trace an 11-inch circle on paper or cardboard and place it on the shelf. Make sure the cabinet face frame and hinges do not block the rotation.

2. OXO 16-Inch Not So Lazy Susan — best large turntable

OXO also makes a 16-inch version for deeper shelves and larger pantry surfaces. The larger diameter can reduce the number of items hidden behind one another, but it only helps if the shelf is genuinely deep enough.

Best for: large pantry shelves, corner zones, big condiment collections, and broad refrigerator shelves.

Avoid it when: the turntable would consume the entire shelf depth and make the corners unusable. Bigger is not automatically better in a small cabinet.

3. YouCopia Crazy Susan Two-Tier Turntable — best for vertical space

The Crazy Susan Two-Tier adds a second rotating level and lets you set about 5, 6, or 7 inches of clearance between the tiers. YouCopia lists an 11-inch base and 360-degree rotation on stainless-steel ball bearings.

Best for: short jars, spices, supplements, small canned goods, and cabinets where there is a lot of unused height above a normal turntable.

Why it stands out: it converts both depth and height into accessible storage.

Know before buying: the product can be sold out directly from YouCopia at times, so verify current retailer availability. Also measure the tallest item intended for the lower tier before choosing a clearance level.

4. YouCopia SmoothSpin Turntable with 3 Bins - best for sorting small items

The YouCopia SmoothSpin Turntable with 3 Bins is designed for smaller pantry and cabinet items that tend to disappear behind larger bottles. Three clear, removable bins keep categories separated while the turntable rotates to bring items from the back forward.

Best for: snack packets, vitamins, small spice containers, baking supplies, drink mixes, and other small items that benefit from separate bins.

Why it stands out: the three removable clear bins make it easier to group small items without giving up the access of a traditional lazy Susan. The turntable rotates 360 degrees on stainless-steel ball bearings, and non-slip feet help keep the base steady.

Know before buying: the organizer measures about 10.6 inches wide by 10.6 inches deep by 4.2 inches high. Measure shelf depth and vertical clearance before ordering. The bins are intended for hand washing rather than the dishwasher.

5. Copco 12-Inch Non-Skid Lazy Susan — best value / non-skid option

Copco’s long-running 12-inch non-skid turntables are simple and widely used. Current Copco catalog information emphasizes a non-skid surface, rimmed edge, and smooth rotation for cabinets and pantries.

Best for: an affordable first turntable, heavier jars, or anyone who values a grippy surface over modular accessories.

Why it made the list: a turntable does not need to be complicated to solve the core problem. A stable 12-inch platform can be enough for many pantry shelves.

Single-tier or two-tier?

Choose single-tier when you store tall bottles or want maximum flexibility. Choose two-tier when the majority of items are short and your cabinet has unused height.

For small kitchens, we generally prefer starting with a single-tier unit. It is easier to repurpose in a pantry, fridge, bathroom, or under-sink cabinet if your layout changes.

How we selected these products

Tidy Little Home has not hands-on tested every item. We compared current manufacturer details, dimensions, stability features, useful diameter ranges, and whether each design solves a different access problem. We also favor products that remain useful if the contents of the cabinet change.
