[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a stand spiralizer previously - one that suction cups to the counter & has a hand crank. The small blade attachment never wirked, and softer veggies like eggplant were made into mush.
I received the KitchenAid spiralizer attachment as a gift. IT IS AMAZING! Makes PERFECT angelhair noodles every time! Spiralizes EVERYTHING - eggplant, zucchini, butternut squash, cucumber, you name it! And is WAY easier to clean! Love love love it!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a Christmas gift. I love the versatility of it all. It doesn't accommodate large vegetables such as fat sweet potatoes, so you have to half or quarter them. I do have to say that the customer service I received when calling about a question was ridiculously unhelpful. Both people had no clue how to troubleshoot my issue. I figured it out by myself.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My stand mixer is 45 years old and still going like a champ. I started out with a plastic spiralizer and when I saw that Kitchen Aid made one I jumped at the chance. I keep it attached to my mixer at all times and it does look like a war machine sticking out of the front. I used it every day. At first things were getting stuck etc. You have to use firm veggies and fruits. I keep my attachment in an old timey glass refrigerator container with top along with a tooth brush. Easy to store and clean that way. I confess I have not pealed anything yet too busy spiralizing zucchini. I probably have spiralized a ton of zucchini since getting the machine. I am not impressed with the prong thing that sticks into one end of the veggie. It is plastic and I don't know how long it is going to last so I am careful with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the vegetables need to be uniform for the peeler to work. You cannot slice without coring. A sweet potato is too hard to spiralize properly. The small spiralizer blade works well with squash but does not peel too well. I am so disappointed. I love all of my other Kitchen aid attachments and my mixer. Maybe there is a trick to it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this spiralizer so much! Now that your company has graciously sent me a replacement peeling blade (THANK YOU!), this makes peeling lots of potatoes and apples a breeze. My veggie lasagna is even more of a hit now that I can add layers of zucchini ribbons. Thanks for a great product, KitchenAid! I can always count on you and on your excellent customer service!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I rarely fall for these types of kitchen gadgets, but really liked the idea of creating vegetable noodles and thought this might be a worthwhile mixer attachment. First, the device is much larger than I anticipated and the recommended storage box is quite large. Not sure where I'm storing this. Second, started out with a butternut squash. Read all directions and watched videos beforehand. The size of my squash met the requirements. The peeler kept getting stuck, so I removed it and peeled by hand. Tried spiralizer, and it too kept getting stuck and the skewer would not hold and continued to rotate inside the squash creating a mushy hole in the center. This made it even more difficult for the device to work properly. Lastly, a rather large portion of vegetable gets left on the skewer and does not go through the spiralizer. Very poor design. I will try other vegetables before giving up on this rather expensive attachment, but will definitely think twice the next time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago & have used it many times. Made zucchini noodles & potato strings. I works gra8 & is so easy to use.
