I have been wanting a spiralizer to make zoodles and other things with for awhile now, however there are soooo many different brands and types it's just too overwhelming to pick!

So my question is: Which one have you tried and would recommend and why?

Thanks in advance :)

    I have this one:

    It works great!

    I have a one. But just to be honest, I like to just take a veggie peeler to my zucchini... Super thin for marinara and a bit thicker for lasagna. Takes 2mins and clean up is easy.

    I have the one in the picture and love it. I can remember who makes it but it was like 20 dollars or so

    I use a handheld spiralizer. It is compact - which is good because I live in a small apartment without a lot of storage space. I like mine - it works kind of like a pencil sharpener where you stick the zucchini in and twist it. The zoodles come out like pencil shavings. Mine also came with a tiny brush to clean the device - since the teeth are so small.

    Here is the amazon link if you would like to take a look: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00PPICD8O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I have a handheld one and I have a Paderno 3-blade and (since I do have the space) I vastly prefer the Paderno! The handheld one wastes so much veggie and I caught my knuckle on the top blade more than once.

    I have one like the little hand held. Not happy with it either because of the waste and the risk to fingers. Mine had no cleaning brush. I might consider the bigger one though.

    I have the Paderno as well. It is easy and fast once you figure out how to use it. Use Zucchini that is not too thick in diameter and it is relatively straight or cut it up into sections that will make it straight .

    @Phrick @Jan93L I just dice up the leftover stumps from the handheld ... figure it all steams or sautees the same

    Me too. They get lost in the luscious noodles anyway.

    Thin ,skinny carrots just break in the small one. Zuke and cukes do ok.

    I got the Premium V slicer for $13 on Amazon. I finally used it yesterday on zucchini and it works awesome. Didn't take a lot of "elbow grease," so very sharp. It has a little lid you can use at the end to reduce stump wastage. I rinsed clean when done. It came with a little brush, but I inspected it and didn't see any zuke bits.

    The look of betrayal on my three-year-old's face when she tried a Zoodle was heartbreaking.
