I really want to get a spiralizer and have been shopping around. How does this one compare to the Paderno? (Aside from being almost $30 cheaper?)

My mother has this in her kitchen and she's been using it for months now. From what I've seen, it works really well and her vegetable slices look really good when she uses this. We have tried the Paderno before and I haven't noticed much difference. This is less expensive though but not too cheap. That's why we bought this. It has worked incredibly well for our meals so far. I recently bought another one for my own kitchen. I would buy this if I were you.

I don't have the paderno model, so I can't compare them. This one had so many design issues I wouldn't waste your money. I have heard good things about the paderno.

Hi The question is how does it compare to the CHAMPION, You need to say what you are trying to compare it to. The Champion Juicer is the best all around juicer period. I will start with carrots, If you look at about any juice book recipe most of the them have carrots in the mix, carrots have a lot of nutrition and healing. I will tell you the Champion will juice carrots with the best of them. Also the Champion will juice any kind of fruit, fresh or frozen. A lot of juicers won't do frozen very well, A Champion Juicer will juice leafy greens. Also the Champion Juicer has a grain mill attachment to make your own flour. I guess what I'am trying to say is a CHAMPION will do anything. The other juicer will leave a stringy pulp in it that you might not like, The Champion will leave pulp to but it masticates it a lot more so its real smooth. I will say this that the other juicer will not make fruit sorbet very good, It does not masticate it very well. When it comes time to clean your juicer the CHAMPION wins by far. The one thing you should be able to tell right away is look at the screen, Its a square screen with a little curve, Three inches by two inches, take a scrub brush and it cleans real easy, the other juicer has a round screen and are harder to clean. I hope this will help you, if you lived close to me I would ask you over and I would show you how easy the CHAMPION is to use and how good of a job it does. JUDITH if you would like to call me I think I could answer your questions a lot better. Go through the customer question process and leave your phone number or email, I live in Indiana. jim

I couldn't find any useful English direction in the box either. Had to go on YouTube to find a video demo, and ended up watching a demo of the Brieftons InstantVeg spiralizer which looks pretty similar. I was stuck not knowing how to put the rod through the hole on the lid, but the assembly demo was clear enough to help me sort that out in the end.

The Fogo is a much more mild flavor than the Lazzari. I've used both. I've mixed them for a slight mesquite flavor which is great. I feel like the Fogo lasts a bit better. After using it the first time it seems to be pretty large still. I've been able to cook low and slow and very high with both charcoals.

I like it but it does chop different sizes. I used it to make a veggie salad. You have to quarter the vegetables before you chop them. Sometimes the quartershave to be cut again. For soft foods pulse lightly. I love using it to make egg salad.As far as I know, it won't shred. There might be another chopper that's betterand more expensive but this one is good enough. Also, if I want the bestuniform chopped vegetable....large or small dice....then I use a knife. I hopeI helped you....Jan

The difference is the former & cheaper is actually better. This one is stainless steel but doesn't have the adjustable thickness option or the bowl option available. I bought the older version after this one and liked it much better. I hope this helps.

I've tried a variety of spiralizers and returned them all except the Paderno, it was the only one worth keeping. If you absolutely have no room for the Paderno then I would get the Kuhn Rikon Julienne Peeler.

I bought the spiral slicer before they included the recipes and have not yet sent for them. Although I have no specific information about the recipe booklet I wanted to respond because when I reviewed my slicer, I was having a hard time with the learning curve. I now can use it fairly well, but it took me a few vegetables before I got the hang of it. My family, and I, love the addition of colorful and healthy veggies to salads, pasta, and even soups. I made a dish with pasta last night and added about half spiraled veggies and it was a big success. I think you will really like this product and not have a hard time thinking of things to add your cut veggies to.

One has a porcelain cook well $50.99 this is the one I purchased. Clean up is easy and I think cleans up as easily as the stainless steel cook well. This would be a matter of personal choice the stainless steel cook well will probably last longer if you intend to use it a lot. I will use it occasionally and so I went with the less expensive one.

I really like this slicer, BUT, I would recommend a spiral slicer for the really long zucchini "noodles" to substitute for spaghetti. I think this slicer is a good choice for nice thin "julienne" type of strips. It works very well on dense vegetables like carrots, and my spiral will not handle carrots. NEVER use this slicer without the guard. It is very sharp and you will bleed a lot (been there done that).

there are numerous "spiralizers" on sale at Amazon. There are types that are almost like machines, and some that are almost like little manual pencil sharpeners. The one favored by most reviewers is by Paderno. This one is very handy, but it doesn't make long "noodle" type strands

I like the knife my friend has the same brand but not as good a model his works very well but gets. Hotter with prolonged use I have used mine for 4 hours straight without stopping his he needs to let rest every so often . I also like the blades that came with mine it easy to do small fish with the blades that are 1/2 the thickness but they can be bought separate . I have bought and and still have a Berkley knife and a tatertwister knife they was a a waist of money in my opinion . I hope this helps you make your mind .

I bought the NS model. Mine works fine but the reassembly can be a little tricky but not that big of a deal. I was just online this morning to buy one for a friend. I haven't had a tough pork chop since I bought mine. It is fast to use.

With the different blades, you get different types of cuts- also I think it's much safer than my mandolin. With a food processor, you don't get the long noodle like cuts as you do with the spirializer. I have all three but am using the spirializer most often.

Dear Julia, I don't have a vertical spiralizer. This one works very well and I can choose three different blades to realize incredible vegan spaghetti :-)

That's exactly what I was searching for when OI ordered the OXO Good Grips Salad Chopper and Bowl. It looks a tiny bit different from the one at Subway but it is virtually the same bowl and chopper. My daughter works part time at Subway and she has used the one there as well as the one we have and she says there is no difference.

The materials are the same, and most of the silicon cookware is about the same thickness. The main difference then would be with the handles. The OXO Good Grips Colander had a metal support ring for the the top edge as well as the handles. The handles also have plastic molded around them for a larger grip surface. So unlike the Prepology Colanders I've seen, you can't "ball and roll" this one up. The OXO seems to be fairly rigid, it holds its shape quite well and doesn't slouch. The rigid top & handles allows you to hold the colander and shake water out. Which may be a bit more difficult with hot food such as noodles with the Prepology brand. If you'd like a colander that's more flexible, go with the Prepology, if you'd like one that's got the rigid top and extended handles, go with the OXO.
