5.0 out of 5 stars Benriner Turning Slicer....this design offers even more reliability!, April 14, 2007

As if it were possible, I've actually found another spiral slicer that I love even more! The Benriner Turning Slicer is very similar to the Benriner Cook's Helper, you'll often find this higher end model in restaurants. Benriner Spiral Slicers are ALL extremely reliable each of them offering true versatility and durability. These models are made of ABS and Nylon reinforced resin, this spiral slicer is here to stay! Just crank and churn with the option of cutting continuous strings, strips or curly strands with four different blades to choose from (1) Flat edged blade, and (3) Tooth edged blades (Coarse, Medium and Fine) This is all you'll need to get you're creative juices flowing. You can create beautiful salads, elegant garnishes and main courses, if you're a Raw Foodist. The famous Spaghetti type strands that all raw food diets long for, using yellow squash and Zucchini turn into beautiful replicas of their wheat counterparts. Want to experiment with super thin slices of cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, bell pepper and onions etc; be my guest because you can't go wrong! Everything turns out beautifully every single time. Cleaning is also a snap, just use soapy water to wash, rinse well and dry...that's it!

WARNING: handle blades with care....they are extremely sharp! You can also expect to replace your blades at some point during the lifetime of your Benriner, because inevitably they will become dull. Replacement blades are available on quite a few websites (do you're homework because I can't list them here) I've seen the complete set listed for approximately fourteen dollars. I agree with those who say this item is pricey and compared to the numerous poorly made spiral slicers on the market today, it certainly is. However, because of the level of reliability that you get with the Benriner its well worth every penny! Just be sure to shop around to make sure you're getting the best price.

I'm a chef. I bought one of these many years ago. Of course it was a much older model and shape. The first one was ver difficult to work. But this model is wonderful. It does everything it says it will do. Love this amchine..pricey but much cheaper through amazon than a store.

5.0 out of 5 stars May be addictive...., July 5, 2010

My partner has been watching me suspiciously since I got this benriner. And who could blame him? I've turned every appropriately-textured and shaped vegetable in the fridge into gorgeous spirals of cucumbers, turnips, onions, carrots, and radishes, and then gone to the store for more. It's a food tool made of decent plastic, and watch out for the sharp blades, but it works really well. Can't imagine how I cooked without this!
