Has anyone tried the Spiralizer brand vegetable slicer? How does it compare to the Benriner? I like how the Benriner is vertical...

Is works good once it's set up, It Only takes rounds that are under 2-3" of the looking for small kitchen use on small veggies its a great price for what it it. All made out of plastic and SS bases that can be removed and washed easy! First set up takes a little longer due to instructions being Japanese!

The Benriner is easy to use, easy to clean, has several blades for different cuts, and doesn't take up much space!

The vegetable slicer works best with vegetables, and it is best for salad making and using veggies no wider than 2.5 inches. Perhaps the mandolin slicer is wider. Barb

I've only used a few times for zucchini. I think a food processor would chop it more. I think of a mandolin for slices. This spiralizer give you noodles, long noodles. Really cool. Kind of vague, hope this helps.

I would buy the spiralizer because it is way thinner slices (I have one that it great "Spirelli Spiral Cutter") and this does not have a grater.

I've only tried one plate so far and I used it to make a fruit salad. It cut the apples into nice bite size pieces. I have the Progressive Onion dicer and really, really enjoy it so I thought I'd try out this one. So far I like what I've tried. Hope this helps.

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

I'm thinking about buying this unit.just wondering why you didn't leave a review??? what is your opion of this slicer??

What is the actual problem? Is it not cutting at all? Mine had a protective sticker on the back blade when I received it. It also only works with the cutters pointed down into the vegetable. I use a fork to hold the veggie down and protect my fingers. Not sure what else to suggest without knowing what is happening.

I think if I were to order a spiralizer again it would be a little more sturdy. I went totally for the price and small size. It works ok but tried it on zucchini and ended up throwing out large pieces because you couldn't shove it all the way into it. For storage and size it's good, but if you want something for heavy usage I would go a little more sturdy like Paderno. Hope this helps.

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).

That gadget does WONDERS on slicing strawberries. I love my egg slicer. Works great on eggs also. I love my egg salad mix, so easy to do two cuts on egg and it is ready for mayo and onions. I even got more so I could give them to my kids.

Mandoline is very easy to use. I don't understand the reaction of Katie. I'am very satisfied with this mandoline and never had a problem slicing fruits, vegetables etc.

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 .

So far everything I have done with it, I have liked the way it works. I also have a V-slicer and I go to the Benriner almost all the time.

There is a video on YouTube comparing both of the mandolines. Very informative. Just search for Mandoline Reviews.

There are two blades inside the spiral slicer (no need to change blades), so you can enjoy thinner or thicker veggie spirals to your liking
