Brieftons QuickFold 5-Blade Spiralizer: 2018 Model, Versatile & Compact Foldable Vegetable Spiral Slicer, Best Veggie Pasta Spaghetti Maker for Low Carb/Paleo/Gluten-Free with Brush & 3 Recipe Ebooks

I would like to be able to say I liked this spiralizer, but sadly I can't. I spent a lot of time on Amazon reading reviews and none of the machines had high ratings, but this one seemed to be near the top of them. I followed the instructions and did what it said, but it was more of a mess on the counter than anything, even with a bowl to catch what did come out. For whatever reason, the place where you push the vegetable onto, forms a bump on the vegetable and you have to keep cutting that off and start again. The only way I could get through most of a beet, was to hollow out the center of it first. Carrots have to be really big to work on it. I really had hoped it would work, but it's made of plastic and too much pressure on it, and I'm sure something will break. I don't like to give mediocre or bad reviews, but can't in good conscience give this unit more than that.

I found a new recipe for Chicken Parmesan with zucchini noodles; tried it first time using a cheese grater to make the zoodles. It worked OK, but for the second half of grating each zucchini, I felt like I would end up grating a finger or knuckle. Luckily I didn't. And the recipe turned out great!The recipe author had highly recommended her Briefton non-foldable spiralizer, and when I went to Amazon to look/find/purchase, I saw the new foldable model as highly recommended, so I bought it. It really wasn't that much more than the completely manual units that fit inside a jar & everyone hates, so I consider the price a great value.I've used it twice already, and it's fast & easy! No knuckle worries, easy to set up, works FAST and easy clean up. The left over core is only about 1/4" diameter, and it only takes about 10 seconds to spiralize a whole zucchini. My first one turned out perfectly.To fold the product you simply slide a couple of pieces off the main body, then the crank end folds up & all the parts nest into the folded upright unit. It really makes a difference in storage area - I store mine in an old 6"W X8"L plastic food storage container (the cheap disposable kind, GLAD I had one!) & it only protrudes over the top about 7"H.I have a formica countertop (yeah, I know... upgrading this fall). As long as you press down on the base of the unit directly over the main base suction cup when flipping the suction lever, it grips very sturdily. No wiggling, sliding, or coming loose when cranking out the zoodles.I haven't tried it with anything but zucchini at this point, but the unit is really sturdy & appears to be heavy enough to handle other harder foods like sweet potatoes or carrots. Even with a carrot, the remaining core would be small enough to dice & include in your salad or recipe. 1/4" isn't much.Swapping the cutting blades is really simple. And all the extra blades store in a small slotted container that slides & snaps right into the base of the unit. Out of sight, out of the way, keeps you organized so you know where to find everything without losing a bunch of small parts in your junk drawer. Or never seeing them again after they disappear into the Bermuda Kitchen Triangle!In short, this product is everything it says it is. 100% happy I bought it & expect to use it for many recipes in the future. It makes healthier eating a breeze.
