Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of World Cuisine Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer

Customer Review: not what i expected
Summary: 3 Stars

I was hoping fo a Japanese style spiral slicer. This is meant for American kitchens. The Japanese have a smaller blade for thinner cutting. I am a Culinary Chef-Instructor and wanted this slicer for a sushi demonstration and it did not measure up.

Customer Review: Surprise- quality slicer
Summary: 5 Stars

I wanted a spiral slicer for raw foods, but I didn't want to put out the money for the expensive japan ones, since I am just getting into raw foods. The Joyce Chan saladacco just looked to cheap and limited on the amount of food it could do, so I went with the World Cuisine. I thought it would be compared to the crappy one walmart sells, but was I surprised. It actually is solidly built for being plastic, the 3 different blades are easy to switch out, and it works great on all the raw food I put through it, which has been a lot of vegetables lately. It does leave a little core from where the food spins on the blades, but I just take the little core and put it in with the sliced vegs. I love how zucchini strands come out for raw pasta and how I can get creative with the three different blades, kinda fun. I paid about $40 for this and worth every penny, oh yea, also very easy to clean.

Customer Review: A worthy purchase
Summary: 4 Stars

So far, after having the spirooli slicer for 3 weeks, I am quite happy with the product. I have one complaint which would not prevent me from buying it again. Main complaint, the fact that it is made of plastic: I don't fully trust that the plastic crank arm will last forever but it works well and is easy to clean. The plastic arm you must use to apply pressure allowing the vegetable you are slicing to sit tightly against the cutting blades seems like a handle waiting to break. So I don't even use it. I have to place a thumb below the crank and my fingers grip the top of the slicer in order to apply enough even pressure to push the vegetable up against the blade while cranking it. An irritating design flaw. I would prefer that it was made out of stainless steel.

Other than that I am very happy with the product. It does exactly what it says it should do. As a matter of fact, the first time I used it on zucchini, it created an 18 foot long noodle!! Of course, THAT fascinated everyone. I've used it on yams, carrots, onions, zucchini and cucumber....all of which turned out just as I wanted.

Customer Review: Very Pleased.
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this after a few recommendations I heard about how good it was. This machine is so simple and easy to use, clean up is a snap, it is really fun, too. I can make all thicknesses of anything I want - thin to very thick. I read some other reviews that people might have had difficulty with the machine, but I have not and really think it does exactly what it is supposed to do. Yes, it is all plastic, but it doesn't claim to be otherwise. The suction cups are great -- it won't go anywhere, and the blades are super sharp for a nice, clean, consistent cut and texture. If you are looking for one, give it a try -- you will be pleasantly surprised.
