I’m looking to add some oil bottles to my counter, and also make more sauces, creama’s, etc, and think I would like to enjoy, but cleaning those are always a pain.
Have you found any good user experiences with your’s, and if so…? Ease of clean is a priority.

I’ve got a bunch of these OXO bottles. They’re fairly inexpensive, won’t break, and clean up easily with the aid of a bottle brush. Their only downside is a tendency to pick up the odor of anything pungent that you might store (not an issue with most oils).
Also have a couple of these. I’ve never suffered a clog with oil and the sprayer function is pretty handy.
I have a ton of love for anything OXO that I have, they make very legit kitchen tools. The name brings a lot of confidence in the purchase,
I think I’m going to get one of those sprayers to start off with as well. I need I need a few, but peanut oil is always in play in my kitchen and I’m over pouring all the time from bottles. That spray part could be super useful.
We have a sprayer, and the tube and nozzle are a pain to clean. Especially if they are multi-use.
We have the plastic bottles, like BBQ sauce bottles but semi-clear. They work fine and are easy to clean, but I noticed acidic sauces, like hot sauces, tend to discolor them.
I think glass bottles are best for oils, you can be sure they are clean. They wipe off real easy and shine nicely with under cabinet lighting. A good stopper that can drizzle or pour allows precise application, with practice.
If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
I use my olive oil from the bottle, but typically buy bottles that have pop up spouts that make for easy dispensing. For the avocado oil, I use my plastic squeeze bottles for the griddle, inside. Those are really the only two oils I use.
