Should I get this or the more compact one (the cone shape type)? I have a rather small kitchen.

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.

This is a perfect fit for a small kitchen and a reason I bought this. It has a small footprint but works equally well.

It Is Quite Smaller Than I Had Anticipated. Definitely Go With A Larger Size, Not A Compact, I Also Prefer Models That Oscillate. :) :) :)

The larger holds more peppercorns. I like the lengthier one, but if it's a pricy difference, go with the smaller. Make sure that both have an adjustable grinder. You want fine and coarse ground pepper.

Cooks Illustrated rated the Kitchen Aide higher.The word on the latest generation of Cuisinarts is NOT that great.You might also look into the French made Magimix. I've heard it is great but I've only seen it in catalogs & it looks like it has a rather LARGE footprint.

Regular is perfect for 2 people, it works great for virtually anything you want to cook. Bigger is always better. Especially better for tall stuff with a foil tent.

Looks like the Gourmet Chef kitchen has a better sink, with fun knobs and a deeper basin (from pictures it looks that way - I didn't get to see it in person). I probably still would have chosen the one we got for storage reasons, as there is a good space beneath the Creative Cookery model that is large enough for a basket of extra toys.

I bought both sizes. The large one first and found that I didn't need that much room so I then bought the smaller one and it was just right. I use them to make homemade TV Dinners be cause we don't eat at the same time every day like we use to. This way we get a good home cooked meal anytime we want. I guess it all depends what you are planning to use them for and how much you want to put in them. Hope you make the right decision for what you want them for and I hope that this answer helped you in some way.

Get a 6 qt you can less in a smaller unit but you cannot cook more in a smaller one

I agree with the other answers. The bigger one is better! It's much more effective than the smaller one.

I think the larger, 2 gallon would be more practical. It would give you more room for reaching in to take out marshmallows, the grahams, luscious chocolate bars. More room so no need to pack the ingredients in too tightly. Best wishes. Have fun.

I chose the 16" round over the rectangular because I can't make round pizzas bigger than 14" in the rectangular. So, to me, the extra couple inches on the 16" side would have been useless but there are probably other uses that make the rectangular stone a better fit for some people. I suppose it depends on what you like to make with your stone!

Get the bigger one. it is cheaper (now it is on sale for under $100) and you will get more parts (shelves and bars) that will make it even more flexible

No you will not regret the size, it needs the size to properly be able to stir the food up on the sides as it cooks as to not over cook it. Enjoy.

Hello Jayne, go for the bigger one. You never go wrong. Small has no room to expand if you want to do bigger.I bought mine at a thrift store for 10 dollars and works fine. Enjoy.

I bought mine a little over a year ago and it is more square than round. I don't know which version/shape provides more surface area for cooking. I don't see a downside to either version. No hot or cool spots. All things being equal, the heating source is the key to success. The slightly square version fits nicely and is stable on my portable gas grill.

I have and use both the round and square. In my opinion there is no difference other than the shape of the pan or the item being pressed. I find that I prefer a rectangular press when cooking some grilled sandwiches.

I have used both to make cookies, it is just a matter of cooky size. Personally I like smaller-sized cookies. The smaller scoop gives yo a 2" diameter cooky.
