GEFU GEF-13460A Duo Spiral Cutter, Black/Stainless Steel,color may vary

This is the first time I've ever been driven to write a review, but am so impressed with this little gadget that I felt I had to. It's extremely easy to use and fits vegetables of a reasonable range of shapes and sizes. It not only produces perfect spirals, but the courgette spirals were completely dry and ready to use immediately, raw or for cooking, without the tiresome squeezing and drying which courgette requires when grated. I haven't yet tried it with cucumber, and am not expecting quite such great results, since cucumber is so very wet, but still, this is a great addition to my gadget draw.

I ordered on the Saturday and received bank holiday Monday - to me that had to be a good sign. Went and bought carrots and courgettes ready to make my raw 'noodles'. Being a vegetarian and wanting to make some more interesting salads I was sooo excited. I was sooo disappointed - the carrots kept breaking and the courgette got stuck - properly stuck and the cucumber just got skinned - no lovely little spirals or julienne - just lots of stubbed carrots and a nightmare to clean. This is an awful gadget - do not waste your money..

Great little gizmo. Really enjoy using it. Have to have strongish hands and wrists to use this product and it 'bites' if you don't use it correctly (definitely wouldn't give it to a child!). One of the reviews that I read before I bought it said they used a fork to protect finger and get more from the item being 'spiralled' and I found this to be a very helpful comment but, although it may sounds obvious to say, you must be careful not to catch said folk on the blades! The spirals look good and they cook really quickly. Think it might help to encourage veg eating in children.

This is a good cheap gadget but it wastes a good portion of the vegetable that doesn't get spiralised, it can also cut your fingers quite easily. I didn't find the plastic 'holder' gripped the vegetable at all, but for the portion of the vegetable that comes out, it makes good spirals.

This was another one of those "maybe" purchases but I decided to go for it and I have not been disappointed (and my family has never eaten so much salad without complaint). I cut carrot, cucumber and courgette for fresh salads, tacos and fajitas. We've even parboiled courgette spaghetti to go with a bolognese sauce and I don't think the gang noticed they were not eating pasta. I learned to use a fork to get down to the bottom of the carrot and courgette after nicking my index finger a couple of times on the cutting blade but now I get perfect veg and no damaged fingers. I find I get great vegetable strips no matter the size of the vegetable I am using and very little waste. Delighted with my purchase and would be another one without hesitation.

What we were sent was not a gefu spiralizer. Was a different colour but we hadn't realised wasn't genuine as advertised. We didn't use until now although bought before Christmas. Doesn't work as a spiralizer, just a very poor grater. Annoyed we didn't realize sooner.

I use this tool every day.It works like a pencil sharpener, and your "pencils" are vegetables such as carrots and courgettes. I make courgette spaghetti every other day, and it is so easy with this small thing! It is made of solid materials, with steel inserts and sharp blades, and has 2 available sizes. I find the thicker "spaghetti" size easier to use. The middle of the vegetable doesn't get sliced, but that happens also with big chunky spiralizers.I do not know why others said it's difficult to clean, I just rinse it under running water and shake it a bit to remove the bits on the blades.Suits my small kitchen and raw vegan diet very very very well. Worth the money

Not easy to use. Wastes lots of the vegetable: leaves a long centre of the eg carrot and you cannot use the last part because it won't go down the spiral and the top does not help to push it down. Also the bits of metal inside near the top of the funnel are very sharp. There is a warning!However, it grates well.Unfortunately, I bought six! Have already given two as presents.
