Brieftons 5-Blade Vegetable Spiralizer: Strongest-Heaviest Spiral Slicer, Best Veggie Pasta Spaghetti Maker for Low Carb/Paleo/Gluten-Free/Vegan Meals, With Extra Blade Caddy, 4 Recipe Ebooks

Well, I researched before I leaped. When I saw the Brieftons and read the reviews, I agonized over it for a few days. But then I decided, for the price, that I couldn't really go that wrong. My son is a hobby chef, although I think he'd put most professionals to shame, and he loves to cook for guests. I could NOT see myself trying to spiralize with a little handheld gadget. I wanted a device that would do large quantities fast. I wanted to do onions, cabbage, sweet potatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, melons, pears, apples--you name it. I wanted a device that would do that for me.Well, I FOUND IT! This thing works like you won't believe. I've done zucchini noodles, yellow squash noodles, and loved them as substitute noodles under a homemade spaghetti sauce. Yummy, but a carb free dinner! Well, let me rephrase that. A dinner with the only carb being in the sauce, and that is such a minimal amount of carb grams that it barely counts, compared to a pile of actual pasta. And what I learned is that I enjoy zoodles far more than I do actual pasta. They are so much more flavorful! Just be careful with seasoning. THINK NOODLES OR PASTA. They have little flavor. I want the contrast between a flavorful sauce and a blander noodle base. I made the mistake of over seasoning my veggie noodles only once. I really enjoy them if they are seasoned with only pepper, a very light addition of salt, as in VERY light, and some granulated garlic. In my opinion, lightly seasoned, they are better tasting than actual pasta.On this gadget, the suction cup, one large one, works fabulously. It hasn't lost grip on me a single time. The creators also included a little push handle, to put slight pressure on the vegetable as you process it. Works fabulously. I have had no issues with "pushing" a vegetable through, period. Zoodles, aka zucchini noodles, for a huge crowd are a breeze, and also easy to prepare for one or two people because the cleanup is so fast. The Brieftons washes up easily. I use a toothbrush to get the bits out. Tonight carrots left color, but with a brisk and brief scrub with a toothbrush dedicated to this gadget, the stain washed away instantly. I think avoiding stains could be eliminated by washing it off soon after use. Imagine only running water over it with a little dish detergent.I bought two heads of cabbage, one green, one red. I wanted to make a fabulous coleslaw with a non-creamy dressing. I was amazed! Use the flat blade! This thing will make quick work of a head of cabbage or an onion. I only used half of a green head. I found a recipe for a light coleslaw dressing, no mayo or cream, and our guest said that she loved the fact that the cabbage was sliced so thin! I agreed. Packaged cabbage slaw cannot compare. So how much do those bags of prepared coleslaw cost? I never really looked. But I now know that freshly done cabbage tastes so much better, and I also know that I'm saving money, which means that this kitchen gadget will pay for itself in no time at all. My coleslaw was beyond good. Can you imagine? Buy a head of cabbage. Wash it off. Pick away any discolored parts. Slap it in, using a flat blade, and before you know it, as in seconds, you have grated cabbage, cut thin for enhanced flavor. Do two carrots, and toss in some diced dried cherries, and make a fabulous no-cream dressing, and you have a culinary delight.I'm so sold on this product! No, I didn't get it free. I am not writing a review because I will be rewarded. The reward, for me, is the product itself, and the savings I will see. Want to make coleslaw? Well, shred your cabbage quickly by yourself. Don't buy that stale stuff, already shredded. The taste difference, to me, is amazing. And the savings is also amazing. Don't buy premade Zoodles, all nicely packaged. Buy a couple of zucchini and make your own so fast that you'll wonder, "What was I thinking?"I would recommend this to a friend. I WILL recommend this to a friend.

I love my new Brieftons spiralizer. Great price, well made, had no problemwiththe suction stabilizer. Easy to use, easy to store. Made making my favorite zucchini bread recipe a snap! Thank you Brieftons.

I purchased this device to help make different recipes. The package arrived on time. It has different slicers that work well. They are very sharp. So far I have used the device on apples, zucchini, and a sweet potato. The device worked well on the first two. It did ok on the sweet potato. As I got about half way through, the back piece started slipping. If the spikes were a little longer I think it would not have slipped.The device is very sturdy, solid built. The suction cup works great. The device is easy to clean and store. For the price, you can’t beat it. I recommend this to anyone that is looking for something inexpensive, easy to use, and for the occasional use.

I have several impressions about buying this product. First the feedback and product knowledge of the seller was absolutely amazing. I don't gush about online sellers who ship stuff on time or email you to ensure you're happy. I expect that from an online retailer. It's how they can develop a direct relationship with an Amazon customer. What was unique about this experience was the email upon placing the order with useful info about the product, including 3 free ebooks with great recipes and advice; the email after the shipment to advise it should have been received and a link to very useful instructions on its use and care; and the email a week later with in depth info about using the product. The communication as a whole was informative, useful, relevant and valuable. I enjoyed the product much more than I would have with no help from the seller. The takeaway for me...I would not hesitate to pay more for a product from this seller than a competitor. They do it better than anyone!How did I like the product? The description of the product was spot on and it was exactly as represented. There's a lot of hype on trendy gadgets like this one and a lot of fluff in that hype is natural. I feel as though the seller really took care to be completely accurate about their product with an appropriate amount of pride and enthusiasm for their version of a fairly common kitchen gadget concept. This is the only handheld spiralizer I've ever purchased, so I'm unable to tell you that this product is better or worse than any other. What I can say, however is that the product works very well, does what the seller promises and the support from the seller well after you've paid for the product greatly exceeded any other seller's support in my entire time shopping online (I was shopping online when Amazon just sold books!). The product works, feels well made and has some useful additional features, like the storage tray and suction cup mount that demonstrate a company that is trying to make a superior product.Using the product: It's slightly awkward for me to use with my left hand sort of backhand pushing the food along as my right hand turns the crank. That being said, I've been spiralizing every other day since purchasing without any issues. In fact, my beautiful and amazing wife who sometimes struggles with my gadget proclivity used this recently to make Zoodles and they came out perfect on the first pass. My advice to anyone new (like me) to this type of project is to read the materials thoroughly, including the additional materials they send to you. It won't take long and its worthwhile. Consider spiralizing things that you might otherwise slice up for salads and sides and even main dishes. You may be surprised at how much better you like the texture or appearance of everyday foods. For example, we've taken to spiralizing cucumbers for salads. We love them!Care and Cleaning: Be careful handling the blades. They're sharp! If you're not careful you might hurt yourself, so be careful. For the most part you should be able to rinse the product with warm soapy water and it will be clean. I have not needed to put it in the dishwasher. Clean up is fast and easy and the unit stores away nicely.Value: Maybe you're already eating enough fruits and veggies. For your sake I hope you are, and if you are, you'll find this tool gives you some additional options to expand the variety of good choices you're already making. For the rest of us, this will actually help you get more (and maybe even enough) of these foods into your diet. Spiralize apples for a pie or salad or to put on ice cream. Spiralize sweet potatoes for hash browns. Spiralize cucumbers, onions or carrots for salads (or carrot cake yum!). Use the machine to shred cabbage or lettuce. All in all you'l be surprised at how little waste you end up with and how often you choose to include healthy fruits and vegetables in your diet when prepared with the spiralizer. It's worth every penny and more!

This spiral slicer is great! It is incredibly sharp. The weight of the slicer is nice and it mounts to the counter perfectly with the large suction pad on the bottom. It does not slip when cutting vegetables and the manual slide movement is smooth. After cleaning, the slicer can easily be put in its box and stored. Overall, for $30 it's a heck of a deal for a slicer that is durable, cuts like a dream, and is nice looking.
