I love the job this does and the fact it is metal. I have had the plastic ones and they fall apart. I did not give 5 stars in design or ease of use because of the size when attached to the mixer, takes up a LOT of real estate. (I have no solution however.) As far as ease of use it can be a little unwieldy to line up the item in the spiralizer, however it does an excellent job. I would buy again, but will never have to as this will outlast me, very sturdy. LOVE IT!!!

I had hemmed and hawed over buying a spiralizer for about a year...most seemed cheap and weak. Then I heard that I could get this attachment for my Stand Mixer and I was intrigued. I read some reviews and took the plunge. The metal arm is super sturdy and even though some parts are plastic - they also seem heavy duty. I have already spiralized everything in the house and have so many ideas for potatoes, zucchini, carrots, beets, etc. Love it!

I got this as a gift at my request and so ar it's been good though I find I cannot use carrots as they are too hard to get on to the spike to spiral. It's great with zucchini which is what I've been using. I haven't tried the peeler or slicer part yet. It's quite expensive for what it does.

From the box it comes in to the sturdy construction, I love the spiralizer! Had a plastic crank doo-dad, but this one is so much better. Does require reading the manual to understand how all the parts fit together and come apart, but after a little bit of playing it was pretty simple.

I received this as a present and looked forward to using it for spiraling vegetables. While it did a great job, it is impractical to use it for one item. However, when it comes time to harvest the apples, it will be perfect for peeling, coring and slicing. I would also recommend a better instruction book. A little confusing and hard to follow.

I bought this set a week ago and have used it daily with hard and soft fruits and vegetables. I've used all blades except the peeler. The unit is sturdy, easy to use, and is consistent. I've made well over 20 dishes with it such as : -coil slices of apples for my dehydrator -plates of sweet potato noodles in both sizes -zucchini noodles -beet noodles in both sizes A few observations: It takes some practice to feel comfortable. I find that having a careful process for doing this helps like remembering to remove the blade before adding the food to the "spike holder" so that I don't accident Tallulah brush my knuckles over the spiralizer blades. Sweet potatoes are notoriously rock hard so I have a safe way of holding the spiralizer blade at the core area of the potato. This keeps it from going off center. Plan to cut the top and bottoms of all food off just enough to flatten for even cuts and less waste. Put the narrower end of food onto spike which avoids more waste. Awesome product. It's the 3rd one I've tried after loving my handheld Veggetti and "upgrading" to the OXO counterpoint unit but realizing it's too limited for our frequent use. This one is a workhorse.

I've been a loyal KitchenAid Stand Mixer user for years. Adding these attachments is the icing on the cake! They are easy to attach and work like a dream. From slicing and coring apples for pie, to spiralizing healthy butternut squash pasta, these attachments are worth their weight in gold!

This is a nice spiralizer. I had purchased a few cheaper versions that did not work well, so when my husband and I got a KitchenAid mixer for our wedding, I got several kinds of attachments for it (spiralizer being one). The pieces are heavy and feel durable, though we have only had ours a few months. It is kind of cumbersome to use, but the "noodles" come out nicely. I've only tried it with zucchini and wonder how well it would do with carrots or peeling apples.

It is extremely easy to use. You place it in the hub, pick the blade you want to use and start. It is well packaged. You just keep it right in the box that it comes in. A place for each blade and the main hub. I had been looking at different spiralizer products but kept putting it off. Now, I know why. I was waiting for this! Thank you KitchenAid for another amazing product!

I was intrigued when I first saw this and had to get my hands on one. I'll have to say they did this one justice. Easy to assemble, easy to use, and easy to clean. Multiple attachments for peeling,coring,slicing, and making curly fries (of different sizes). My only wish, was a slightly larger curly slicer attachment. The largest one makes smaller than normal curly fries that crisp up faster than your normal restaurant/store bought variety. Overall, worth what I spent on this item. Bravo KitchenAid!
