[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this peel slice and core cases of apples for applesauce. So very easy!!! well worth it. i can't wait for the extra veggies this summers to use the spiralizer and freeze dry all that zucchini!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find this difficult to use, and needed an instruction book. Consequently I ruined several potatoes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to make apple pies. Wow, what a time saver thus is! My granddaughters and I loved it. We had several pies made in no time. Only problem we had was a piec3 fell off while we were using it and I can't for the life of me figure out where it came from.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 7 blade spiralizer about two months ago and used it several times to core snd slice Granny Smith apples. Far easier and more fun than doing this by hand. I also like that the product comes with its own storage box to keep the parts safe, organized, and easy to find.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Vegetables must be 5 1/2" or shorter. Most zucchini is longer than this, so you have to cut in half and end up with two unspiraled ends per zucchini. I was hoping to replace my Paderno Sprializer, but it can handle much longer zucchini (if you have ever grown zucchini, you know what I mean). A bit disappointed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product, super easy to set up and use. Anyone who likes to dehydrate fruit, needs one of these!
Overall this attachment works fairly well, but for the price I'd expect it to work better. I ordered this attachment after my wife & I had prepared around 100 lbs of apples, manually, over a couple of days, & we still had several hundred pounds to go. Initially I tried a couple of the blades to see how they worked. The blades worked fine, but none of these blades will peel & core only, which is all we needed. And we needed apple wedges, thicker than these blades provided. So we only used the peeling blade. Over 2 days, we processed around 300 lbs of apples with the peeling blade. Even with the "issues" I had with the blade carrier (see below), the peeling blade saves a TON of time. Our backs were killing us on the first group due to standing & manually peeling the apples, for hours. This peeling blade allowed us to process more apples in less time with SUBSTANTIALLY less back pain from standing. Before I purchased this attachment, I watched several videos of it being used. The owner in one of the videos said this is their "go to" device when it's apple season. I understand & agree with him now. Cons - the "blade carrier" is made from some form of "plastic type" of material, that slides along the metal bar of the main body. Initially everything worked perfectly. After a while, the blade carrier would stop sliding on the bar, like it was in a bind. When it does this, the peeling blade just slices a groove into the apple. The bar the blade carrier slides on, is manufactured with KitchenAid in raised letters. I determined the blade carrier is binding on the raised letters, causing the carrier to twist slightly, therefore preventing the carrier from traveling. I tried adding a light coat of olive oil to the bar, but that only marginally helped & it left a black residue on the metal bar from the blade carrier. The solution was to apply slight pressure on the Release lever, while holding the blade carrier so it doesn't bind on the KitchenAid letters. Once I discovered this solution I was back in business.
