Once you start spiralizing there is no going back. Really does change a meal, and it is fun playing with veg, flavours and colours.2

Thing that impressed me most, was that a vegetables now filled your plate. So my mind felt full before I had eaten 1 carrot and a courgette (plus salmon)1

Yes, the way we perceive food has a lot to do with how much we enjoy food and how full we become.
The more colourful the food is, the more our brains seems to get enjoyment out of it. Same when it comes to size. Spiralized veg pretty much mirrors the effect of eating off a smaller plate. It looks like your plate is fuller than it is, so you get fuller from less food.2 -
I've used by hand held pampered chef julienne peeler for years and have loved it, so I don't know why I bought the spiralizer on sale for $14.95. I've cut my thumb quite badly while cleaning it. That'll teach me! Once I heal, I'm sure I'll love it.....1

They *are* hard to clean. Ouch

Well, I've been convinced too! I've had one sitting in my Amazon cart for about a month. My vegetarian daughter will be here next week. It will be a good time to try it out.0

I have the Starfrit one that suctions on the counter and you crank it... has 3 different blades and works great!1

I have a hand held one, love it. I use a toothbrush that I now keep in the kitchen to clean mine. Gets all the way in there and doesn't shred my fingers

I tried a handheld model veggti, I think it was, but didn't like it. I have found my mandolin does just as good a job, I don't get the curly fries look, but the adjustments for thickness on the mandolin let me get spaghetti like noodles as well as lasagna type noodles with squash. The mandolin is really great with cabbage for my Mexican slaw.0

I have both and threw out the handheld one on first use. I hated it and now have the countertop one which I love. Much easier to use and greater variety of sizes/shapes.0

I've ordered a countertop model with 5 blades. Can't wait til it gets here!1
