3-Blade Steel Spiralizer for Veggie Noodles, Zoodler Spiralizer, Zucchini Spiralizer Noodle Maker with 3 Stainless Steel Interchangeable Blades & 1 Built-In Ribbon Blade, Non-Slip Technology

Savvy shoppers crave real world reviews. We have purchased an ICO 4-Blade Spiralizer, and have enjoyed its use for a number of months. With gratitude for the positive experience, we offer the following words.Our home kitchen, as well as adventures in food production, exceed the norm. We weekly experiment with a minimum of three new dishes, as well as new forms of preparation. In this vein, and with the encouragement of a number of entire cookbooks devoted to a theme, we undertook an adventure in “spiralizing”.Our initial foray was with a hand-held tube, with blades inside, into which one inserted a vegetable, and then pivoted, using two hands, both the food and the device. Spirals of vegetable emerged. With this we discovered non-carbohydrate forms of “pasta”, and dishes that featured raw or sautéed veggies that were a great deal lighter in the aftermath than your standard spaghetti dinner.In a desire to up-grade the quantity of what we could spiralize, we sought a model that would forego the limitations of the size of vegetable that could be processed by the “tube”, as well as the tedious method of rotating hands.With research on Amazon, we determined that the weakness of crank operated spiralizers was the fact that they were made of plastic (the majority of models for sale). To endure the stress of cranking fat carrots or hard butternut squash required a design both massive, and bulky. These two features lead to products which further required large washings and some disassembly.Dissatisfied, we sought a spiralizer fashioned from the more obvious choice of structurally sound materials: metal. Metal that would not rust, or be too clunky.In this pursuit, there were few choices. We settled on the ICO 4-Blade Spiralizer. There were some negative reviews regarding the sharpness of the blades, and we nearly decided to live without any spiralizer in our kitchen.Thank goodness my wife quietly ordered the ICO Spiralizer.It arrived quickly, and undamaged. It was smaller than plastic models (so much better for storage in an already well-supplied kitchen), and it was made of metal that has not corroded in any way in the half year that we have used the device often. The blades have all been sharp enough. One can produce a number of different shapes of vegetable “noodle” (four!), including one that provides sheets of food, much in the shape of an apple peeled in one long piece. Vegetables such as butternut squash can be cut into portions that are accommodated by the tool, such that all of the squash can be rendered into a pile of delightful “noodles”.Best was the support of ICO’s customer service. Our spiralizer had arrived missing one of three blades (the spiralizer has one blade which is permanent; one can operate with just that blade, or add one of the three possible detachable blades — which are held onto the spiralizer in a most clever and easily installed manner!). Customer service was exceedingly responsive, and when a replacement blade was not soon forthcoming, their decision was to send us an entire, new ICO 4-Blade Spiralizer. This, in lieu of a blade which cost likely no more than pennies.Experience the strength and functionality of this wonderful tool. And prepare to have a great deal of new food fun in the process.

This is by far and away the best vegetable spiralizer I've seen or tried. Do not waste your money on any other brand or model. THIS IS THE ONE! I've bought a few and returned them all for various reasons, until I found this ICO all metal vegetable spiralizer. It has far superior quality in every measurable way. And no, they didn't pay me to write this!It's super sturdy, doesn't slip on my counter, and requires very little effort to cut the veggies - slices through them with ease like cutting butter. (All the other brands I tried were really hard to operate, slipped on the counter, had no good place to hold onto them and required a lot of force to push the veggie through the blades, and left a lot of wasted veggie). This ICO spiralizer comes with 3 different cut patterns. No rickety plastic parts to break or wobble, and it's precision engineered so the cut is near perfect and uniform. Oh - and unlike other brands, there is little to no waste - no big stub or central core left uncut - this model spiralizes right to the very end leaving just a tiny slice maybe 1/3 inch thick that you can snack right up. The compact size of this unit means handling and storage are much more convenient than other models, and you still get "spaghettis" over 5 feet long from just half a zucchini! So don't waste your $ on a longer model as it's completely necessary.No worries here - you won't regret buying this one - just do it! Excellent customer service from ICO as well.Great for any vegetable preparation for meals, salads, soups, snacks and appetizers; also perfect for weight loss, low carb, keto, vegetarian, vegan and raw diets too.Do it!

I ordered this because I like the size and the metal construction. However, the quality control in the manufacturing process was lacking. The slicing blade attached (not the pronged blades) was not attached perfectly straight with the opening of the area where the food goes through the end. There was a larger/wider opening toward the bottom than toward the center. The result was that only about half of the spirals were cut sufficiently deep to separate from each other, and you had to manually pull them apart to get them to separate. Too bad, because it is smaller than the big plastic models and i liked it otherwise. Returned for refundEDIT 9/10/2018: The seller contacted me several months after refunding my purchase price and offered to send me a new item. The item was received and was functional in a much better way than the original item. It cuts nice and smoothly and thoroughly. I have not used it extensively as I am not spiralizing very often these days. I appreciate the efforts to send me a new unit, and as the new unit is functional, I have changed my rating to 4 stars, but it seems like there may have been a quality control issue with the original unit, and as it took a replacement to have me satisfied with my purchase, I will not rate 5 stars. I have added to the review, but getting a new product does not change my initial experience.
