[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have only used the spiralizer twice, but wow it is so much easier than the manual one we have. Makes perfect cuts and very quickly. Would not trade it for anything.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] GOOD: Despite what I wrote below, I love this product. Just wish it was a bit more versatile.
EXCELLENT: Makes fast work of most vegetables/fruit. 3 Zucchinis or Apples in under 1 minute EXCELLENT: Peels, cores, cuts simultaneously.
GOOD: Quick set up/break down. GOOD: Helpful storage package/container.
LIMITATIONS: Size dimensions. Vegetables/Fruit with limited diameter and length. Reason it's BAD: Limits you to using medium sized everything. You can cut big things down, but not up). LIMITATIONS: Carrots (width, Large veggies and fruit). LIMITATIONS: Set blade opening width. Not publish. Thin means what? 1 mm? Median?
BAD: Vegetable Skewer: Pins that hold the vegetable/fruit in place. One metal central spike surrounded by short plastic pins. Using hard vegetables (potatoes): Skewer spins around so pins create ski lanes. WORSE: The machine has no leverage to turn the vegetable (like spinning tires in sand), but the spiralizer continues to advance along it's track - nearly bending it backward and becoming deformed if not turned off immediately. I've had to turn it off several times, take the potato off, and head for my table top spiralizers which did the job quickly without a similar issue.
INDIFFERENT: Cleanup. Not as quick as the table top versions I have. Table top version have big blade plates. You can wipe them down quickly or throw them in the top of the dishwasher. The little blades of the KitchenAid have to be put on the prongs in the top rack of the dishwasher to make sure they don't fall down to the bottom. Washing by hand is problematic because the blade plates are small making it easy to cut your hands.
WISHES: Would like KitchenAid to publish the dimensions of the blade width, length, etc. When comparing different devices with fixed blade dimensions, it helps to know what dimensions each blade is. Really thin potato chips/radish cuts or thick apple cuts.
WISHES: Make the vegetable/fruit skewer system better.
Photo later if possible.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the spiralizer attachment. It is very easy to attach and operate. The possibilities are endless.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great on zucchini. But everything else has been a disaster. Leaves me wishing I bought a cheaper handheld one that can handle a sweet potato etc. I had higher hopes for something branded KitchenAid
I have a professional 5 plus with many other attachments. (Ice cream, pasta, grinder, shredder, etc) this is by far the most disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Christmas gift, fun gadget, pretty apples and yams... great zuke spaghetti. spiraled potato sprayed in oil and baked didn't turn out well, top burned, bottom uncooked... more practice needed but not easy so far. Be sure to rinse the equipment right away when finished for easier clean ups.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a Christmas present from my son and his wife because his favorite desert is apple pie. I have loved using the peeler; cuts making the pie time in half!!!
I love to cook healthy, the spiralizer made creating fun
