Zoodle Maker 4-in-1 Gem˚se Spaghetti Cutter Zuchini Spiralizer for Zucchini Cucumber Carrot

Love this spiralizer, I had two goals when I purchased this, first create healthier options for my meals (instead of rice or pasta) and second get rid of all the bulky kitchen tools that waste space, and this is a ein! It’s small enough to fit in a drawer and works as good as the boxy spiralizers or the one that attaches to your mixer, without taking up a lot of space. The spiralizer is sturdy and the blade is sharp and cuts even long spirals of whatever vegetable you are using, you can turn the blade depending on the thickness you want. I tried it out first with zucchini, which is pictured, sautéed in a little olive oil with a pinch of salt, delicious and healthy. Cleanup was easy, wash & dry, I believe it is dishwasher safe also. If you’re looking for a spiralizer, you will love this simple, inexpensive option.

I read all the reviews before considering this purchase and I decided to give it a shot. I love the size & the functionality! I've used it several times now and while it does require labor from the person using it, it does the job so well & doesn't take long! I've used it with zucchini & squash. As others have mentioned, it's best to use with firm vegetables. Due to its size, storage is hardly a concern and after I clean it, I pop it in my utensil drawer. Seeing as I paid so little and it worked right out of the box with no trouble, I consider this a win!

I thought zoodles sounded like something I wanted to try but didn't want to invest a lot of money until I knew if I would make them often. So this little gadget was just what I needed. The zuchinni our local grocery has had lately are pretty wide and I wondered if they would fit in the cutter. No problem, the opening is big enough to fit a good sized zuchinni. I tried to cut the end off of the vegetable at an angle that would allow the curve of the veggie to fit through the cutter. It worked well. The only problem was my arm got tired of turning the zuchinni before I was half done. I managed to get really long spirals of zoodle but had to stop to change hands a couple of times. It cut the vegetable really well, speed depended on how fast I could turn the veggie. It worked well for such a little tool. But, if I was making zoodles for a whole family and had to cut lots of them I think a motorised or hand crank tool would work better. This gadget is great for one or maybe two senior citizens like my household.

I liked the fact that it was small and versatile with several options if cutting blades incorporated in the utensil. However the downsides are that it is very hard to clean properly and really is only good for carrots or zucchini, a potato would have to be cut to fit the opening as would anything else. Sorry I got this, still looking for the ideal small portable travel mate zoofle maker. It is sharp, easy to use with zucchini or the like, but the jand saver is almost useless as it tears through the veggie being cut...

I thought this was great for the price. I have been using it very easy to use. Love this for making zucchini pasta.
