Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The stick-to-the-counter spiralizer did not work for me at all. It took up too much counter space in my small kitchen, was difficult to use, and made a mess. Washing and drying it by hand was time-consuming (I don't own an automatic dishwasher). And with space at premium storing the awkward-shape thing was a hassle and the extra blade cartridges kept falling out every time I moved it. Storing it in its box took up even more valuable space. Then I bought the Vegetable Spiralizer by Spiralife. When it arrived I took it out of the box, washed it, put a zucchini in, gave it a few turns over a serving bowl, and I was done. I rinsed it off, toweled it dry, and because it's no bigger than a pint glass it was easy to store in my cupboard. All in ten minutes or less. The two blades satisfy all my spiralizing needs. It feels very sturdy and is comfortable to use even with small hands like mine. The overall design looks so good you can leave it out on your counter. I can see it as a great conversation piece. Oh, and the follow-up email with tips and recipes is a nice bonus. I love this thing! It's worth every penny. I'm thinking of getting a couple more of these to give as gifts. As a side note, I paired my Spiralife with a Benriner veggie slicer. Together they cost about the same as a good quality countertop spiralizer, do everything the counter-toppers do, are easier to use and clean, are portable, and take up much, much, much less space.
