I have a mandolin that will make "spaghetti" like cuts but I have always wanted to try one of these electric spiralizers.  Never will I use my mandolin again!  The Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Electric Spiralizer was so quick and easy to use!  I just popped a zuchinni in the top, turned it on, and applied just a little pressure to guide it as it spiraled into the bowl below!  After finishing the first zuchinni I removed the catch bowl to inspect and I found that the strands are continuous, and when pulled apart I found that the middle seed core was intact so I was able to discard it. There is litterally no mess (unlike the mandolin)!  My husband was also impressed not only with the spiralizer, but that our "spaghetti" and meatballs was a healthier version that tasted great!
