Bella Electric Vegetable Spiralizer - Strong & Heavy Duty Electric Grater - Fruit & Vegetable Julienne Peeler Bullet Slicer - Courgette Spiralizer - Pasta Spaghetti Maker, Fries & Salads Spiral Maker

A few months ago I bought a vegetable spiraliser which was just like a big pencil sharpener, was an absolute pain to use, so I sent it back for a refund. I still wanted to turn plain, ordinary looking courgettes – and other delicious veggies – into something more appetising and so I continued to look for one. I was thrilled when I saw this electric one being offered at such a bargain price. The fact that this excited me will give you some idea of how dull my life really is – anyway, that aside I eagerly awaited its arrival.Now whenever I get anything with an instruction book I always read it first – I'm just funny that way. The section titled Before First Use has to be one of the most confusing things I've read for quite some time, and the diagrams are not a huge help – the outside of the box is actually more informative! I finally got to grips with it, and it is really very easy to use – I just think someone needs to re-write that section. Thi manual, by the way, is black and white, not the full colour described in the blurb. It does not have “stainless steel accents” and neither does it have a “snap on bowl”; both of these are listed as being features of this machine.So once you've taken the back of the blade section off, removed the whole blade assembly, selected the width of spirals you want from the four on offer, put it all back (except the blade cover), you then fix your chosen veggie in place, not forgetting to put the tray at the back end otherwise your courgette noodles will be all over the place. Switch on, and hey presto, you have appetising “zoodles”. It really is easy. There is an automatic stop feature which comes into play when all that remains of the veggie is about 1cm long. The machine has little rubber feet which hold fast and stop it sliding all over your worktop.Clean up isn't too bad – a sturdy brush is supplied for getting between those blades – but it is dishwasher safe. I haven't yet worked out how to remove the veggie holding end, and as it is covered with very sharp prongs I'm loathe to keep pulling at it so I clean it with the brush. I would welcome advice from anyone who knows how to do it without impaling one, or several, fingers.The machine itself is well made, sturdy, easy to clean (apart from aforementioned pronged thingy) and easy to use.An absolute winner for me at the current price of £14.95 (when I bought it on 10 Oct 2018), but I honestly would not pay the full price of £79.99

The device is great when it works however the switch to turn it on and off has developed an intermittent fault. I keep it switched on now and use the switch on the wall socket to turn it on and off. It's a bit of a pain but I can't be bothered with going through the hassle of returning it.Other than that it works fine - I'd open it up and replace the switch but it has no accessible screws to dismantle it.

It is fun to use electric spiralzer than manual one. Good quality little machine, very compact, with tray where cable and brush can be stored tidy. The only annoying thing - blade assembly not very easy to pull out. My hand is not big enough to grab whole blade system. But afer a while it become easier to remove it from the holder. It also include brush which is very handy. Would be also a good idea to supply with a little pin to remove veg leftovers from the spindel. But overall I am quite happy with this kitchen helper and even thinking to buy another one to my dauhgter.

I bought an amazon warehouse second hand ‘like new’ super cheap.It’s great, easy enough to use when you find the YouTube videos. I have used the linguini setting on a courgette, carrot and sweet potato with no issues works fine, it also looks like noodles on this setting.I wouldn’t want to be putting hard veg like sweet potato through it all the time, you probably want a sturdier metal one for that, but I grow courgettes by the barrel load and it’s perfect for them.Machine washable which is useful, no blades to change just a twist of the knob and you can change the cut.

The first one I've ever tried and ever bought. Once you work it out - and it's not difficult, but you need a few minutes to have a read of the instructions - It's easy to use and fun to watch! It's no effort at all, as it does the task by itself unlike a manual one. My first dish was on No1 setting courgettes and carrots. I put a generous amount of olive oil all around, and salt. Baked them at about 220 Fan oven for maybe 20 minutes or so. They were truly delicious. Also great as salad the following day served at room temperature. It seems that the thinness of the vegetables plus olive oil brings the flavour out a lot more than if you chop them by hand (hence much thicker slices). As for cleaning it, I used a baby wipe which cleaned the more awkward areas very well and very easily. This was my own idea, not the instructions' advice.

Very good buy. Very easy to use and clean. Excellent if you find the non-electric types hard to use. Like the four different types of 'spiral'. Handy cleaning brush and instruction/recipe book included. Only quibble is the spiky holder thing is very hard to remove for cleaning, if you're feeble handed like me. I just leave it in situ and give it a quick brush. The 'working end' blade fitment unit, however, removes easily and has a safety cover. It's been in daily use, I wouldn't be without it !

This is an amazing gadget and much easier to use than my manual one which I found difficult to keep still whilst turning the handle. The only slight problem is the difficulty in pressing the button in to release the blades when needing to clean it or turn the blades to a different number. I have to turn the whole thing on its side to press it in. I am hoping it will get easier when it has been used more. Otherwise I can't praise it enough. So far I have only used courgettes and carrots but they spiralized beautifully. If it hadn't been for that button it would have been five stars.

Im finding some difficulties. The blade carrier is not conecting causing problems with selecting numbers
