Product Description
The age of slicing vegetables by hand is over, by using this excellent spiralizer - it will leave you with lots of spare time to get on with other things. We have sourced this product through our contacts in the commercial kitchen trade and this is the same product as used in restaurants all over the world. We have now added suction feet to this spiralizer for more stability and it now includes the ability to connect with a cordless drill or screwdriver (socket included) to provide a motorised turning vegetable slicer for the larger jobs.
Unlike other Spiralizers, this vegetable slicer comes with 4 blades instead of 3 and this increases its versatility. One blade is permanently fitted to the machine and allows the creation of spiral ribbons. Three further blades are included which can be interchanged as and when needed and they include a 1mm fine blade for delicate raw Angel Hair spaghetti, a 2.5mm blade and a 4mm coarse blade. Spare blades can be purchased from us separately should they ever go blunt or you lose them.
Ideal for livening up those boring salads and essential for preparing ingredients for authentic Sushi or Sashimi dishes. This spiralizer is great for raw food enthusiasts and vegetarians. An easy recipe to make with this unique kitchen tool is raw spaghetti. Just process a courgette through the machine, and watch long strands of courgette spaghetti come out or switch the blade and get spiral ribbons, blend up a simple pasta sauce or pesto in your blender and pour over spiralized vegetables.
Made from virtually unbreakable ABS plastic, the Turning Vegetable Slicer is simple to use - just locate your preferred vegetable on the spikes, wind the handle and you get instant results. The use of a Spiralizer is recommended in all the raw food cook books.

Does produce spaghetti size tendrils. Rather fiddly set up - needs a little practice and patience. Machine not as robust as I expected.

In principle , I like this product. The angel hair blade does a good job and all the blades are effective. Makes raw beet root look wonderful. However, the turning handle is a little clumsy and at the bottom of the turning point, I found myself hitting my knuckles. Imagine it would be worse for a man as they have slightly larger hands. The turning handle is also not as secure or as easy as it should be.
Resting your other hand on the machine to help stabilise it after a few minutes really hurts with the square edges and should have had a soft use pad to relieve this discomfort There iis also quite a bit of waste with the vegetables in the centre, but those bit can be used other ways.

I have had this spiraliser for just over 2 years now (not bought on Amazon). I noticed & was surprised it had been given poor reviews here & felt I had to redress the balance. At the time of purchase I spent a great deal of time debating whether to go for this spiraliser over the cheaper models, but I am very glad I did buy this one.
First of all the blades & cutters are very sharp & manufactured with great precision. There are 3 thicknesses of cutter for fixing into the unit, or the unit can just be used plain to produce thin non-stop long spirals of such things as cucumber by the in-built flat cutter blade. Note: after not using this for about a month I was surprised to find it not working very well & sort of mushing up a carrot, it turned out I had fitted the shredder cutter in upside down! This is an important point to look out for. The arrow engraved into the blades must point up otherwise it does not work correctly.
I have found that even very hard vegetables such as sweet potatoes go through this item with ease. At all times you must apply a certain amount of pressure against the sliding base unit to ensure the vegetable or fruit continuously feeds against the front blade & cutters, this is the case for any of these types of spiralisers. It rinses very easily if you do this the minute you are finished before food dries on. I am not sure how the Lurch type spiraliser works for rinsing since surely the blades stored in the base of it must be removed before washing or they will get all wet?
I store the additional blades in a little box for safety, I do not want them to get damaged, (the finest one is a miracle of precision metal cutting & engineering).... Read more ›

This is an absolutely fantastic gadget. I use it at least once a week - usually to make vermicelli from carrots which saves on calories no end & is genuinely nutritious & tasty. I never buy pasta now - I just used 'cheats': for lasagne sheets I use layers of leek flattened out and blanched (thanks Hairy Bikers), for tagliatelle I simply peel a courgette down to the seed layer (eat raw - just pour the pasta sauce on as normal) and for spaghetti I use this gadget.
It can be a little fiddly to use. While you are turning the handle you also need to keep pressure on it to drive the vegetable through the blades. I do this by wearing oven gloves & stabilising the blade end with my little fingers and apply pressure at the handle end with my thumb. Or I stabilise the blade end with the inside of my forearm and pull on the handle end with my other fingers while turning the handle with my other hand. You need to experiment. Wearing oven gloves allows the turning handle to slip around.
This gadget is actually made for the Japanese market and there are fabulous pictures on the box of people using a drill (instead of the handle) to create spiralised food. There's a special gadget and a few different blades to choose from.
I would recommend this to anyone. You just need to be a little creative about finding the best way to make it work for you.

I bought this on a whim, and haven't had much call to use it since, but i feel sure once I get the opportunity, I will become an addict!
It seems well made and easy to use - easy to follow instructions!

I carefully read the text and looked at the pictures. The name Benriner, the leading supplier of Japanese-made mandolins, was mentioned several times, so I knew it was good quality. I placed my order and soon I received a turning slicer made by an unknown company - in China, not Japan. I returned it immediately and left the seller feedback, with my reasons for returning it. It has been two weeks since the seller has received my return and so far they haven't acknowledged it or my email (sent four weeks ago). I can't recommend thejuicercompany or its product.
