I received this as a Christmas gift and couldn't wait to try it out. I tried beets first- the peeler attachment didn't reach all the way to the beets and it only spiralized about half the beet before the blade was at the end of the rod. I double checked the directions and watched the online videos to make sure I was using it correctly and tried again. Butternut squash and zucchini just ended up with holes in the back and would not spin. I ended up manually turning them against the blade to get my spirals. Way too much work for what I ended up with. Back to my cheap plastic manual spiralizer.

I'm disappointed in the functionality of the spiralizer, which happened to be my first attachment purchase...I feel a hand spiralizer works much better AND is cheaper. I have the most trouble with potatoes - the cut is inconsistent, sometimes the potato breaks off and frequently as much as 1/4 of the potato is left behind. I also find the peeling function for fruits and veggies to be hit or miss.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple months ago and absolutely love it. I made zoodles and it worked like a charm. Every year I make apple pies for the holidays and boy do I wish I bought this sooner. Works so well for both peeling and slicing apples!!!

This product should not be advertised to do sweet potato noodles. After one use, the prongs on the vegetable skewer broke off into the sweet potato. Also the skewer itself detached from the plastic holder. Otherwise, excellent for softer veggies. Will look into buying a replacement part if available. Do not see as an available part.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted to reduce carbs and add flair to meals. This unit is simple,fun to watch,and quickly turns zucchini and yellow squash into pasta, potatoes into curly fries. I still make pasta from scratch using the Kitchenaid Pasta Roller Slicer and cutter to form a variety of pastas. So easy to use ,saves hours of prep time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far the pieces of I have used have worked great and been easy to use. I haven't tried to peel, core & slice an apple yet. Maybe not that fall is approaching. I had put off buying this because of the price, but received it as a gift and wish I would've gotten it sooner ! :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used it to work apples up for freezing and fresh pie. Much faster than by hand or the crank peeler. Love the spiralizer for summer squash and that my fingers don't get near the blades like in a hand spiralizer. Overall, liked it but there felt like there was some play in slider while doing firmer apples.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am an avid applesauce maker. I now make my own applesauce. I would manually peel and core 10 pounds of apples. I have tried the hand crank peelers which was more work than hand peeling. Either it would not stay stuck to the table or would not hold the apples in place. A real pain. The KitchenAid peel, core and slice attachment saved me time and made it much easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Effortlessly spiralized zuccini and sweet potatoes. Looking forward to apple season. Had a manual one for years and this makes it so easy. Example: I bought this a month ago and am so happy that I did...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this because I bake ALOT of pies for the holiday and especially apple pies so I bought it to peel as well and slice. I've used the peeler but I still haven't used the slicer but the peeler works very well and I'm sure everything else that it came with will work just as well when I come around to using them
