Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Joyce Chen 51-0662 Saladacco Spiral Slicer, White
Customer Review: I love it
Summary: 4 Stars
I know this gadget has gotten some mixed reviews. I love it. It is easy to use, easy to store and makes incredible speghetti strands. The drawbacks are, and that is why I gave it 4 stars, it is a very simple gadget. Even though it is not the sturdiest piece,it works great for what it is intended to do .I only use it to shred zucchinni and potatoes, and it does it easily in seconds and the clean up takes less than a minute. So, I highly recommend it to make no carb pasta from raw zucchini and easy to shred potato strands to cook for potato pancakes ( much easier and less messy than grating) Also, your hands never get dirty. Take it for what it is, a simple helpful gadget. I consider it one of my best gadgets.Customer Review: Does One Thing Well
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely LOVE this product and just bought one for my mother who has an abundance of zucchini from her garden every year.
I also agree with many of the negative reviews...BUT, if you are looking to make angel hair from zucchini, this is THE tool you NEED.
I find it easy to use and easy to clean, I don't bother with a dishwasher, just rinse, air dry and put away.
I, too, find it has a cheap feel, and would not try to use it for hard squash...BUT, I would never be without one for my raw zucchini angel hair.
For everyone having difficulty using this, type in spiral slicer on [...] for videos on using it.
Once you know how to do it, it is a cinch.
Customer Review: Wish I had not bought this
Summary: 2 Stars
My friend had bought the Saladacco spiral slicer, NOT Joyce Chen's and she loved it. I thought I was purchasing that also, but got this product instead. My husband and I both find it very difficult to manage. Forget the fact that the veggies have to be cut to certain lengths, etc. The main thing is that the teeth that cut the veggies to make them into thin angel hair "pasta" only make an impression in the zucchini, and cut them rather thick. The plastic housing is difficult to get apart, and after once in the dishwasher, there was rust on the metal pieces. I wish I had not bought this and only hope I can get my money back so I can buy the one that works!Customer Review: Don't waste your money, get a spirooli instead
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this spiral slizer and I regret it completely. I have never ever gotten consistent results, even with much practice. It really just shreds your food rather than creates spirals unless you can find picture perfectly shaped veggies. You have to cut the veggies to a precise length for them to fit. There are two settings, one for slices, one for "spirals" and it keeps popping back and forth between the two settings so you never get anything consistent. If you push too hard it fails, if you push too easily it fails. It is really a useless piece of junk. I finally spent the money for a Spirooli and I am much happier.Customer Review: FABULOUS!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was extremely apprehensive because of the low ratings and even considered another spiral slicer that I saw on the internet for $40. But because of money constraints I decided to risk it and I'm so incredibly glad I did! The first time using it, absolutely no problems and perfect zucchini pasta! I can't begin to understand what could have gone wrong with any of the other users. I made an absolutely delicious marinara sauce from Alissa Cohen's book "Living on Live Food" - WOW! I'm trying hard to transition to, at least, mostly raw - and this has easily become one of my favorite meals to have.
