How does it work--meaning, how do you get the vegetable to go round and round? Totally by hand? I can't see any part that turns it.

Hi, You need just put the vegetable upright in the centre of the slicer's cone, and twist it in with a consistent forward force to produce endless spiral strands.

It's supposed to turn back and forth. It's very poorly made and not made to last even if working properly.If I had seen how it was made I would have never bought it in the first place.

Sorry, I have had a great deal of trouble with this too, although I love my little mower!! I DID manage to get it on once, at the very beginning, so I know it can be done, but I have given up because it's so frustrating....I'm going to ask my oldest son who is very clever with machines....and will post if he gets a surefire way to do it....It is a wonderful mower and perfect for my tiny vegetable garden which has grass paths, but I do wish the catcher would work!!

I thought that rotating the little rod will do it, but it does not work. This was a bad purchase, although was recommended by " American kitchen". I should have sent it back.I have one Kyocera mandoline product with fixed blade which is great. Disappointed in Portland

From what I've seen you'll need a really sharp knife and a gentle touch. I made some without the nori (seaweed) and it was tough to keep it perfectly circular, but it did work. I haven't specifically tried what your asking, but I bet you could get it to work. That's actually what I'm going to try next, I've been meaning to do this and then roll it in sesame seeds. :-)

Funny! I tried it a for awhile, it did not work. Went back to it, it did not work. Finally I figured it out. Have you figured it out yet? A couple of things: 1) the pole pulls out to be longer. It should be as tall as you are. 2) it seems like it does not fit in hole. But, you have to push hard. 3) Look at picture on box. The parts will actually end up looking like the picture. (Smile)

It's very tricky, I know, but the instructions tell you how. You have to get the beginning of the edge to start turning it. After you see how it starts to 'catch' you see how it works.

No. Had to figure out how to use since no directions, but you have to firmly hold while twisting vegie. Two blades, so have to experiment which one you like or want the most.

The little black button is to release/lock the pusher, so it won't take up so much space. Just spin your salad until the leaves are dry, or not dripping with water, so that the dressing will stick and not be watery.

Well, I wouldn't be able to know the degree of difficulty in your situation, but I'm happy to share my experience in more detail. I found a rhythm by turning the veg and the other end of the Veggetti, so each wrist made a quarter twist in the opposite direction. The cutting teeth grab on so that it takes a steady, slight push in while twisting the wrists. One zucchini took me about 12 -15 firm turns. I hope this helps your decision to give it a try.

The paddle doesn't turn, the bowl does. Make sure that the bowl is compeltely frozen. I keep mine in the freezer all the time, so it's always ready. The first time I made sorbet it didn't set either. The next time I tried it, I kept in in the machine for longer and it turned out great. Perhaps you took it out too early?

I had good luck with it. Actually, now that I think about it I realize I put in the parsley with an onion chunk. Maybe that was the trick? But so far I have had nothing but great luck with this little tool. So much that I have given another one to a friend as a gift and he LOVES it! 5 Stars from me!

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please)It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

mine had instructions telling me how to do it. did you not get instructions? it pretty much is just setting the time and how long you want it to drop the food. then set the next time and how long. and then you can do it a third time too.

It should spin the bowl just by the action of the whisks. It creates it's own motion, probably due to the viscosity of whatever you're whisking.

Mine was working for a little bit then the bit that spins the feeder broke. Unfortunately I found out while on vacation. Tried to fix it but couldn't. So when the time came for the feeder to feed, it wouldn't spin. I don't think your missing a step. I noticed this thing broke really easily. Probably fed 2 cycles on mine and then broke.

What kind of veggies?? Did you take the protective tape off blade and are the blades in correctly?? There are 3 different blades to how you want the veggies. The veggies should be firm so they cut better. I have not had problem with mine and I am not sure what or how you are doing this just guessing!! I hope this helps I do enjoy my slicer and have not had problems..
