After watching the videos, apples were peeled, cored, and sliced to make apple sauce and apple butter.  I discovered that the fruit must be firm, some had softened and would not work with the attachment.  It truly made the job go much faster than doing everything by hand.  I cannot wait to use some of the spiralizing blades for salads. Assembly was easy as was disassembly and clean-up.  The box is so sturdy it serves very nicely as a storage case.
