AdoricHandheld Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer, 3 in 1 Heavy Duty Veggie Spiral Cutter - Zoodle Pasta Spaghetti Maker for Low Carb/Paleo/Gluten-Free Meals

Cheap made in china device. Does the job but after one carrot my wrists hurt so now I’m wondering how much I will actually use this. Probably worth 3-4 pounds not 10.

To keep this properly cleaned, the plastic components need to be taken apart after every use to remove vegetable bits from around the blades.The plastic lid cannot be removed easily and require correctly sized flat blades screw driver.

Surpassed my expectations! This is a cute great item that works! And it's petite, which is perfect for my small space. I've had fun making long noodles w/ beets (see photo of beet-spaghetti :), cucumbers & zucchini so far. Looking forward to sweet potato & butternut squash. The only thing I've had challenge w/ so far is carrot~ I think I'll need a very WIDE carrot, to successfully spiralize longer noodles (w/ average carrot, once I press it onto "corer/stand", outer part of carrot splits a bit simply due to carrot-narrowness~ what comes out the blade are individual thin crescent-moon curves, rather than long noodles. still very cute & tasty).As one reviewer wrote, this spiralizer-size/model is good, when cooking for 1-2 (would be a bit more elbow-grease/wrist-action than ideal for larger crowds~ you'll prob want to invest in bigger one w/ crank handle for mechanical advantage, for that).Love it! Really fantastic.Updating review: Some new helpful tips, observations, & more photos~ now that I've had many opportunities to use this great item:~Actual use of instrument~ I've found placing the veggie on blade/top-surface & pressing down firmly, then turning the *actual spiralizer base" as it's pressed against counter-top or plate (not turning the veggie), works best/smoothly, & less tiring on the wrists (when I tried turning the veggie on the blade, while pressing down, was more awkward / bumpy.)~Root veggies work very easily! Beets, carrots & sweet potatoes all spiralize superbly as "spaghetti" (see photos).~Carrot note: At first I had difficulty with them splitting, but now have discovered 2 solutions: (a)wider carrots do indeed work more succesfully. (b) However, not necessary since~ surprisingly~ simply allowing the carrot to be a little less crisp/ slightly-"deydrated" (I leave carrot in fridge, w/o plastic bag keeping moisture in) makes it "rubbery" enough to spiralize w/o splitting! It works great.~Summer squash is lovely too (ie- zucchini).~Cooking times~ All noodles cook way faster than the same veggies normally do, when chopped or cubed (of course). So~ keep it fast, once noodles hit the boiling water. Re. zucchini/summer-squash esp~ you hardly need to cook these noodles at all (just super-quick "flash" in boiling water)~ this keeps the noodles perky; otherwise they can get way mushy (happened to me the first couple tries, when I left in boiling water too long).~Cucumbers~ I find these are most attractive either as "ribbons" (see 2nd photo) or as "fettucine" (see 3rd picture). Tho' they can be spiralized as the thinner "spaghetti" too, I found their soft seeds/center pulped up amidst the "spaghetti" noodles & looked a li'l messy (looks more "crisp" as ribbon or fettucine).Yum.Enjoy.~The only food I did not have great success with was butternut squash. I thought it would be perfect (soft yet firm) but once noodles are cooked, they really crumble. I tried "spaghetti" first which crumbled even before cooked; then tried "fettucine" which held well raw, but broke up on plate, once cooked (see 3rd photo, butternut squash 'broken" fettucini underneath perky carrot "spaghetti"). I guess it's texture is just a bit too crumbly non-cohesive for hanging out as long noodles.

I've owned other handheld zoodle makers in the past, but each was eventually banished to Goodwill for one reason or another. They all failed in some critical way. But I did not give up: I was determined to find a hand-held zoodle maker that was small, easy-to-use, safe to use, and simple to clean. This product checks all of those boxes.What I like:- It's small, but not too small. This makes is easier for me to hold than some of the smaller devices.- If used as designed, my fingers stay nice and protected from the blade.- It's easy to clean; most of the time it seems to require only a bit of rinsing with hot water.- It doesn't get jammed up.- It is a cheerful color and easy to spot in the cupboard/dish strainer.- It makes nicely shaped zoodles in two sizes (although they might not be as thin as what some people might like)I've eaten more zucchini in the last few weeks than I have in the last few years, all thanks to this little device. It's nice to add a new veggie into my regular rotation!

This spiralizer is a really great product. I Love that there is no need for changing out blades just press a button to change how it cuts. It doesn't take much work to create perfect spirals, it's easy to clean, and compact enough to put in a drawer. You can make perfectly spiraled veggies very fast it has 3 different spirals 1 button is for fettuccine, 1 is for spaghetti, and the default is for ribbon. The buttons are very easy to press and the product feels sturdy. The food holder is great for keeping fingers away from the blade and using the entire vegetable. All in all this is a great product with a great price, it is definitely worth the money and I highly recommend it.
