I had one of these when they first came out, and we wore it out. I didn't realize they were still around until I saw them on Amazon.With Rheumatoid Arthritis taking over my hands and life, it is no longer a pleasure being in the kitchen, its more of a job. I dread mealtime and its sad.I saw this but the price was beyond my range because I am on SSDI ($around 60.00), then I saw the other Prime Prices, in the warehouse. New but possibly repackaged, returned due to a slight blemish on the product that doesn't affect the use. In my price range and with my Swagbucks Gift Cards it only cost me $15.00. Note: We can't even find the blemish and my 19 year old tried because she delights in seeing just how picky some people can be. The blemish must really be slight if its there at all.It was delivered on Saturday and we finally used it last night. I remembered from last time to freeze block cheese for at least 1/2 hour, but not more than 45 minutes before grating it. And a clean up tip, if you're not going to be able to clean the cheese grater immediately - stick it in the freezer after cleaning out the bottom part, or you'll have gummed up cheese.If you are making hash browns shred potatoes, onions, and cheese into one bowl, mix them up, then what I do is put them into a jelly roll pan and bake until the potatoes are soft, and cut into individual sized portions, and freeze them for quick meal add ons or snacks. I always skip the salt, add fresh garlic, pepper and a bit of chili powder. You can figure out what works best for you.One thing we really like is fried potatoes but we don't make them more than once a month because of the fried part. Getting them browned up on the bottom, while soft is just not possible with slicing them the way they need to be, slicing them with my hands. Put them through this using the thin slicer, and they came out so nice, had to use less than 1 tablespoon of oil, grated an onion in with them and they were nice and crispy brown on the bottom, and then we grated Wisconsin sharp cheese on top, a little bit of cheese goes a long way with this, and that was dinner. My daughter had second helpings and then thirds, it was amazing for her.She is very sensitive to noise, and it is loud for her, for me it is not an issue. It works, it doesn't hurt my hands and I love it. Even if you don't have arthritis there is the time saving, and the economical savings to consider. Compare the cost of grated cheese to block cheese. Yes you can grate with a hand grater, but can you go through a block in less than 10 seconds? This does. Then you can flash freeze it in individual serving sizes if you want - and the fact that it looks like you're getting a whole lot more than you are getting, it works well for stretching the food dollar, another important consideration for us.If you know someone who has arthritis, is looking to do the freezer cooking that's so popular, gardening, and wants to put away things in the freezer this will save them time and money.I'm glad that I bought it, I love it and I highly recommend it. Now if I could just get it to cube potatoes for potato salad it would be perfect.Have a great day and thanks for reading the review.Ila in Maine

I should have had one years ago but no one told me how wonderful the Salad Shooter is. My husband loves it also & uses it equally. I keep it on the counter next to the coffee maker with the large slicer attached.It's small, pretty & gets used almost daily. Cucumbers, yellow squash, zucchini - rinse, cut small slice off ends & drop in Salad Shooter. Out the other end come beautiful slices that get eaten in our salads instead of looking good in the refrigerator. Mushrooms slice in a few seconds & look so attractive on casseroles or salad. Wash 3 potatoes, cut in half & insert in SS. I shoot them directly onto a cookie pan. Spritz a little oil or not - add some paprika & grated parmesan - into a 350 oven for 25 minutes & instant potato chips that are good for you. Radishes, celery, lettuce head, cabbage - everything comes out looking beautiful. Switch to grating cone & I can grate 2 pounds of cheddar or other cheese in about 2 minutes. I place it in a plastic tub for use during the week. The SS is easy to clean - no cuts on hands from knives or hand graters. We read the reviews about the noise. It is noisy - for about 30 seconds but who cares? Our cats are not afraid of it. My husband loves salads & makes a big one for both of us. How I wish I had owned this when my children were growing up. It is so light to hold, powerful, pretty - I am going to give it for gifts from now on. I keep the other cones in a zip bag under the counter. I can't find anything bad about this appliance. What a wonderful addition to our family.4/18/2009Back with more info. After 6 months I am still in love with this kitchen toy. Now - for the men who longed for sliced cheese. Buy an 8 ounce block of cheddar, Monterey Jack etc. set up cheese on end on paper towel or plastic wrap. Use a fairly sharp knife & cut the package in half lengthwise so you have 2 tall pieces of cheese about 6" tall by 2" wide. Place one block at a time in your SS with the slicer cone & shoot slices into a container (I like the plastic containers that come with luncheon meat). Carry your container of cheese slices & a box of crackers to the TV or your computer & you have perfect little appetizers.
