Good Grips 3-Blade Hand-Held Spiralizer, Multi-Colour 7.62 x 15.24 x 19.81 cm

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.

I used this yesterday evening for the first time to make ‘courgetti’ (the courgette alternative to traditional spaghetti), and again this evening. Courgetti is great for people like me who are following the low FODMAP diet who can tolerate courgette. It mostly did the job, but the green handle which grips on to the top of the vegetable and is then manually turned to spiralise the veg, wasn’t really fit for purpose (with a courgette at least). My Husband and I have both tried it (twice) and it just didn’t adequately grip the vegetable enough for it to stay in place - and we ensured the vegetable was flat at the top/bottom. As a result, we turned the courgette around the blade manually without the handle. This is fine, but you have to watch your fingers when you get close to the blade and don’t have an adequate barrier (as the lid would usually provide). Also, you’re left with lots of little solid tube shaped pieces of courgette and an end piece you can’t spiralise - fine if they get used but wasteful if not. I expected better design and functionality from OXO, based on other things I’ve purchased from them. This may be better with other vegetables. On the plus side, it’s dishwasher friendly and very easy to store if you don’t have much space in your kitchen (which was the basis of its appeal to me, in comparison to others on here). I’d say it’s tolerable for one off uses, but if you’re planning to spiralise a lot, I would not recommend it.

The build quality is good. After reading the reviews, I ordered the 3-blade version. I've only used the green blade it worked really well. This the third (also a fixed size cutter & push fine cutter) OXO product I've bought and they all work really well. The blades are very sharp and the design is great. An excellent kitchen tool in the arsenal.

Purchased this to add spiralled veg to our meals. It arrives nicely packaged and looks and feels quality. The first food I did was a cucumber and I've got to say it delivered amazing results and was easy to use. Next a carrot and whilst it did work I felt there was a fair amount of waste and it was a bit more hard work. I tried onions and red cabbage but neither of these were successful. I believe this works well with soft straight veg such as cucumber, courgettes etc but not for all veg. I think I will invest in a bigger spiralled with more options available

So many spiralisers to choose from and at a broad price range. This is super easy to use, blades incredibly sharp and is super compact so takes up minimal room in my kitchen cupboard! This has transformed cooking for me and I am a massive fan of courgetti now - once upon a time I would have thought why bother? But it's so easy to use / create and cook and tastes bloody fab! Highly recommend this product

I just wish I had read the review which said exactly that - "great for one". This is indeed a great little gadget and worked perfectly. However after 2 courgettes my hand was aching and to be honest it was an absolute pain to keep going. After 5 courgettes I needed a stiff drink. And courgettes are the easy vegetables so I can't imagine what it would be like to do more than 1 carrot. I didn't even try! So it has been abandoned and I have ordered a heavy duty spiralizer. This time I searched through ALL the reviews. So to sum up, it is easy to clean and easy to use but only suitable for a meal for one person.

I had a bit of a job trying to choose a spiralizer. So many of the models on Amazon 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.

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.

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

Helaas, kwam al beschadigd uit de verpakking.

Kompakt, lättanvänd och tillräkligt prisvärd.

Small and useful spiralizer. Finally found one which works well with carrots.
