I love being able to spiralize veggies. I have used this for squash and turnips and cabbage. My only problem is getting the suction feed to stay put. I have to do a lot of wrangling to work with it. If I had someone to hold it in place, it would be perfect.

This thing is great. As someone that would eat out for every meal but is now trying to be more healthy I have found this device to be very helpful. It psychologically helps me start cooking instead of drive to the restaurant because it makes the idea of chopping vegetables somewhat less ominous. You do have to quarter things like onions first but they fit well diagonally. The hardest thing I have chopped is a bunch of garlic cloves at the same time and it worked fine. Sometimes food gets stuck in the grid and you have to spend a minute cleaning before throwing it in the dishwasher. I image the blades will dull after a while but it's cheap enough to just buy a new one when that happens. I also like the container underneath that collects everything.

Finally, I have a kitchen gadget that is going to motivate me to eat all the salads I think I should be eating!  This is a terrific item for salad making.  You first chop up your lettuce and toss it in the colander to wash.  Then, you put it in the bowl and spin it, pour the water out of the bowl, dry it with a paper towel, and put the dry lettuce back in it.  Next, put the lid with the mandoline slicer on and slice cucumbers, onions or whatever you want thinly sliced for your salad.  All the nicely sliced pieces fall right into the bowl.  Add anything that doesn't need slicing, toss it all, snap the plastic lid on the bowl, and put it in the refrigerator.  Voila!  You have a big bowl of salad you can either serve to quite a few people, or eat in smaller amounts as you want it. (Update 12/28/14: The lid does not stay snapped down tight.  It's a good enough fit, but it's still a defective lid.)

I just made a salad tonight for a Christmas Eve dinner.  The iceberg lettuce was quickly and totally dried.  The peeled cucumbers and onions sliced really fast. I tried the included safety holder with the cucumbers, but they kept falling out, so I just used my hand to hold them. You have to be careful, though, because the slicing blade is very sharp.  (Update: The holder works best with onions that fit into it.) I was going to try slicing tomatoes and feta cheese with it, but couldn't find the tomatoes, and decided I wanted big chunks of feta in the salad, not thin slices.  And the colorful peppers were already sliced at the grocery store.  But I look forward to slicing more vegetables in the future, and seeing how well they come out.  Also, I have a dehydrator and will be testing out fruit slicing in the future.  I haven't tried the cheese graters yet, but my guess is grating cheese is going to be a quick job, too. In addition, all the blades handily store on the lid.  The slicing blade must go in the lower storage slot, however, if you are not leaving it in the cutting spot.

Why other reviewers are calling this set flimsy is a mystery to me.  The only thing I think is flimsy is the colander, but its lightweight probably makes it spin faster.  I have washed the entire set three times in the dishwasher, both top and bottom shelves, and have had no warping of anything. If that changes, I'll update the review, because I don't believe in hand washing due to lingering germs.  That's another thing I like about this salad maker--it seems like a more germ-free way to make salads.

Absolutely love this gadget. I'm on a low carb "no pasta" diet so this makes it possible to enjoy doodles without guilt. The one complaint I have is that there is always a 2 inch remainder that can't be "zoodled" so I end up just dicing the zucchini. This isn't a big deal, but wish it would spiraling entire zucchini. The cap with prongs doesn't assist in this. But again, I totally recommend this product. Makes veggies fun!! Great for children too!

Mueller Spiral-Ultra is a very well designed product.  The first vegetable that I tried spiralizing was carrot.  My old hand held spiralizer was very hard to use for spiralizing carrot.  Mueller spiralizer can do it with great ease. It is great to stir fry the thinly spiraled carrot along with other green leaf vegetables.  I no longer have to spend extra time cooking down the thick hand cut carrot first.  The safety food holder is firm and sturdy unlike my other slicer that the safety holder fell apart.  The juicer attachment can put lemon juice directly onto the vegetable.  As my husband and I being on mainly vegetable diet this tool is just what we need for healthy eating.

Spiralizer is of good quality and a welcome addition to my kitchen as I am trying to incorporate a more healthier eating lifestyle.  I love that I now able to prepare zucchini and cucumbers in a different way besides just slicing or dicing them.  I highly recommend this product.  Very easy to use.

I love my spiralizer! I've been using it at least once or twice a week since I bought it and no problems to speak of. I use it to make zucchini noodles and to make veggie shavings for salads, etc. Works great! Price is right!

To be completely honest I was expecting a piece of plastic that wouldn't work. I've bought items like this for my kitchen in the past with very very little success. However, I received it yesterday and used it today for the first and second times. I'm in love!
First off, I received an email detailing how to use and care for my Spiral Slicer. This is always a huge plus on my list of things to come with a product.
Second it works wonderfully. I used it to make Spiral cucumbers for a cucumber salad for a lunch meeting. It was very talked about because of the clean spiral cut.
Third, it was just as good the second time as the first time. My family loved the zucchini noodles I made for dinner with stir fry this evening. My kids happily and excitedly ate their veggies and to be honest I don't know if they realized what they were really eating.

Unlike other veggie spiralizers this one has 3 options to pick from, thin or thick noodles and then ribbons.  I love the thicker noodles because you can still get  a crunch and they do not get soggy as fast as the thin.  The ribbons are super cool when making a nice summer salad. makes the veggies look very pretty.  The cleaning is really easy since i just toss mine into the dishwasher.

My coworker showed me this spiralizer as I was looking for one that was easy on my hands. I also wanted one that could handle a hard vegetable as I love beets. It cuts so smoothly and loved the spirals for the recipe. This machine is sturdy and I am very happy that I purchased this spiralizer.

Update after using  - everything is great on this spiralizer with one exception - as per the picture, plus the one I attached- you can see that the crank on top that connects to the vegetable is utilizing only the very corner of the blade. If the company could revamp and extend the attachment on the top so that the entire blade can be used would prevent waste.  I tried to spiral a rutabaga and was not able to get curls and wasted a lot of the vegetable.

I'm so glad I bought this. It's spurred me to add fresh vegetables to my diet and it's so easy to use. I watched several videos and read several blogs before deciding on the Premium Vegetable Spiralizer Bundle.  It's by far the best deal.  Highly recommended.

I just love my veggie spiralizer... I used to have the handheld one this is much faster and my house guest are amazed at my presentation of our meals

My youngest daughter and I are cooking buddies, and this gadget is exactly what we were looking for to learn how to spiralize veggies. The bonus was receiving extra replacement parts free of charge in a nifty drawstring bag and a cleaning brush for the blades, too. I love how the extra blades store in the underside of the device. Clever design and doesn't take up a huge amount of space.

I have used it many times now and each time I think I like it better than the last time.  My first use, I was a little hesitant.  I had decided to purchase this product because of the multi-functionality it offered, but during my first use, I couldn't decide what I wanted to try first!!

After I started using the large julienne blade to create 'noodles' from zucchini, it only took a few seconds to get the hang of the process and feel like a pro.  There was minimal waste of food or effort!  Since then, I have used this for the spiralizing features as well as a mandoline and juicer.  This is so easy to use and I love it.  Also, storage is amazing as all of the blades store inside the measuring cup so I don't have to worry about losing any of the pieces.

This was my first experience with a spiralizer and I am very satisfied with the product. I've only used it one time so far but it did a good job with zucchini and squash on angel hair setting. I could not get it to work well with carrots, they were either too small or too soft, I'm not sure. Some of the "zoodle" strands stuck together but that was not a big deal to me. Love the free cookbook and instructional videos on their website. I am looking forward to trying other vegetables.

Thank goodness for an easier way to make spiral veggie noodles than the little hand held spiralizer.  I used to use one, but the amount of time that it took to make the noodles was demotivating enough that I just skipped making them all together.  With this spiralizer, making the noodles is much, much, MUCH faster!

I love the fact that this spiralizer has integrated slots for storing the extra blades.  That way there's no risk of losing one.  The three different blades cut thin and thick noodles, as well as large spirals.  Cutting veggies like cucumbers and carrots make for very impressive salads!

In a nutshell:
  suction cups hold the unit on the countertop
  hand crank operation
  includes three stainless steel blades
