This Spiralizer was a little more expensive than the others I considered but it does much more. I use it to peel potatoes, make noodles from zucchini, slice cucumbers uniformly, and cut apples for baking. It was well worth the extra money for the extra functionality. It is also easy to use and easy to clean. I have a small kitchen but this is one thing that I always have out since I want it handy at all times. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
