Good and Bad features
For the money this is not a bad spiral slicer considering some list for over 100 dollars. The real sticking point is the fixed forward axle for whatever you are slicing. It consists of a round hollow cutting edge with an approximate 3/8 opening. This simply means whatever you are slicing will lose a 3/8 cylinder from its center. This is accepatable with Cucumbers and Zuchini but does not leave much when slicing Carrots, Raddishes or any other small diameter veggies.
I would not recommend this if you intend to use it for these smaller veggies but for potatoes, Apples and the like it is OK.

Good Idea, Poorly Executed
I bought this because it looks like it should be easier to use and more sturdy than the Saladacco.

1. Sturdy? No. The plastic is flimsy, and the crank (all plastic) is less solid than the Saladacco crank which at least has a metal arm.

2. Easy to use? No. I could spiralize carrots in the Saladacco but not in this thing.

3. Overly large and bulky? Yes. Twice the size of the Saladacco.

4. Can you get ribbon thin spaghetti-like spirals? No, I couldn't. Using the smallest blade the spirals came out in quarter inch chunks.

5. What's it good for then? It seems to do a good job of purposefully wasting a large portion of the fruit or vegetable you're trying to slice by pushing it through a hole that cuts a half inch core out of the fruit or vegetable.

6. What are you going to do now? Send it back and resign myself to using the Saladacco, which is not a perfect solution, but until someone somewhere designs something better it seems to be the only option.

Awesome, fun & easy
I did a lot of research before buying this great "gadget" and I am thrilled with it! Easy to use and clean, the children I work with (and I) had a ball making raw "spaghetti" out of zucchini and squash. Can't wait to try the other blades. On a 100% raw diet this is a necessity.

Spiral cutter is sturdy.
Cuts well, comes with 3 blades, takes seconds to clean. Cutting the spirals after with kitchen shears works better than the recommended slicing vegetable before spiral cutting. Machine fairly sturdy. Surpised at how well sweet potatoes apples and beets go together with Newman's Own lime salad dressing. Core apples and pears before cutting. Carrots are almost too small.

Love it, use it frequently. Great for RAW.

If this one breaks might actually think about getting the $300 all metal version.

Great Zucchini Pasta
So far all I've used this for is zucchini pasta but that's what I wanted it for and it works great. It ends up being the size of slightly large spaghetti.
