5.0 out of 5 stars Good small bit of kit for the kitchen!

A. · 9 December 2016

I have looked at loads of reviews for spiralisers and I ended up buying this one. I didn't want to buy a big electric one as I don't have that much space in my kitchen and at best I only really planned on using it twice a week. Firstly, it is nice and compact and also sturdy. I only use it for courgettes as I despised buying ready spiralised courgetti in the supermarket with a such a huge price hike. I cut off the end of the courgette, place it on the blades and just twist. At first I was putting way to much pressure on it and it didn't run smoothly. Now I gently turn it, and the blades are sharp enough to go right through it. I do this over a big bowl and there are times when I spiralise the whole courgette and end up with meters of the stuff!It takes about a minute or two tops and there it is ready to go. It does have an end piece which yo're supposed to press on to the end and twist but I don't really bother with it, but it is probably advisable as you get towards the end so y don't cut your fingers. I always place the lid back on when I store it as it is sharp! Overall, a really good, quick option if you want courgetti. I haven't made anything else with it but I think it should be fine once you get the hang of it...just remember, the less pressure the better!

Ok, so I am a complete convert - 1 courgette converted into two bowls of spaghetti, slathered in an impromptu sauce disppeared in companionable silence. I just wish I'd noticed that there is a three blade version for fetuccini and some salady things - that would be 5 star.

I've had a spiraliser before but it was ineffective and took up too much room in my cupboards. However, my current diet uses courgetti a lot and it seems to have disappeared off the supermarket shelves near me. So I was looking for a relatively cheap, small, and effective spiraliser to make my own. This takes a little bit of pressure (admittedly I was using a large courgette) so not suitable for children or people with compromised strength in their arms/wrists, but within a few seconds I had grasped the technique (steady pressure and turning the courgette in a clockwise fashion) to produce a very impressive pile of courgetti. In fact the strands were so long we had to cut some of them in half. I would definitely say that home made courgetti is better than the stuff you buy in supermarkets, even my husband who thought it was a stupid idea to substitute spaghetti is a fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works with courgettes

Its ok value for money. Handling a bit fiddly and time consuming, but for small amounts it works. The different knives are sharp enough. The finished product doesn’t looks at nice as on ads, but I assume a bit of practice will improve the outcome.Better than the previous hand held spiralizers that I tried.

I had a bit of a job trying to choose a spiralizer. So many of the models on Bolo are rebranded versions of the same item and most have a raft of reviews from semi-pro reviewers who get given things to review and seem to like all of them a lot. So I took a punt on a simple looking one recommended by Which magazine, and it's turned out to be a decent buy.It's essentially a plastic tube with a special blade at one end, onto which to place the end of your cut courgette, which you twist and spirals of the veg come out the bottom. There is a bit of waste as it "cores" the vegetable with the centre part of the blade and this looks like it's necessary to hold the veg in place and give it a point to rotate about but it's only 1cm across.I wanted it for "courgette noodles" and it works a treat for that. You can get noodles about 4 foot long out of it if you want.and they're round in profile like real spaghetti rather than a ribbon. The vegetable used needs to wide enough in diameter - 1.5 inches more ore.. Courgettes are fine but normal carrots might be too narrow so you'd need to pick wide ones.I think if you wanted to produces masses of spiralized veg it would get tiring but for a single meal it's absolutely fine. Not moving parts to go wrong. Easy to clean. I'm guessing the more complex mechanical ones have their advantages but this works AOK.

This is quite basic and I am sure there are better ones if you intend to use it alot but I thought long and hardbefore purchase as I thought mine would be for occasional use. It is good for courgette's and I have used for carrots and onion and it is fine but the thing that I like most is that it is easy to clean (watch your fingers though) and it is easy to store unlike some bigger ones.

Small and good enough tobe your first spiralizer.. I haven't gone full on a bigger gadget there.. But definitely a relly good one to have. Small and convinient

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money

Not easy to use as I have arthritis and you need to push down on the vegetables as you are turning the blade to get the shape . They also need cut into pieces before you start. You waste a good inch of the vegetable which doesn't go through the blade before the top locks.

Funziona benissimo

Prodotto fantastico!!!! Avevo comprato un altro prodotto che non funzionava 😡 questo invece è fantastico perché gli spaghetti di zucchine si preparano in pochi minuti

Völlig ausreichend und sehr gute Qualität.

Ich habe mich sehr schwer getan mit der Entscheidung und ewig recherchiert.Entscheidend war für mich letztenendes:1) Klein und kompakt.2) Einfach zu reinigen3) Nicht zu teuer4) Gute Erfahrungen mit anderen OXO Produkten (vor 20 Jahren in den USA gekauft und immer noch in Benutzung!)Punkt 4 war dann auch ausschlaggebend, weshalb ich nicht eines der gleich aussehenden NoName-Produkte zum halben Preis gekauft habe.Fazit:Der Spiralschneider ist für mich völlig ausreichend. Ich benutze ihn mehrmals in der Woche und da er schnell mit der Spülbürste gesäubert werden kann, musste er noch nicht mal in den Geschrirrspüler.Ich benutze ihn für folgendes Gemüse/Obst:Zucchini: super easy!Möhren: Ja, man muss Glück haben und dicke finden. Ab ca. 35 mm Durchmesser.Süßkartoffel: geht super, evtl. mit dem Sparschäler "in Form" bringen.Apfel: Bin überrascht wie gut das geht! Auch hier muss man den Apfel je nach größe etwas "schlank schneiden".Gurke: Etwas matschig durch die weiche Mitte. Das klappt mal und mal nicht, je nach Gurke …Ich finde nicht, dass man übermäßig viel Kraft braucht. Möhre und Süßkartoffel sind etwas fester, das ist etwas schwerer, aber ich koche ja überschaubare Mengen.Ich bin so zufrieden mit dem kleinen Ding, dass ich mich ärgere, nicht doch gleich die Version mit den zwei weiteren Klingen gekauft zu haben.

Svårare än det verkar

Fungerar bäst på tjockare rotfrukter och gurkor. Krävs lite styrka och träning.

野菜大好き！
