5.0 out of 5 stars Joyful Spirals? Sure! October 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased the Benriner Cook Helper for making raw pasta from squash and zucchini. After researching other spiral slicers (including the two more popular brands: Joyce Chen 51-0662 Saladacco Spiral Slicer, White, World Cuisine A4982799 Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer), I ran across a forum on a cooking website where many people swore by the Benriner and had purchased it to replace the two aforementioned brands. I'm glad I found that forum, because it led me to search for the Benriner on Amazon.

First, the Benriner is sturdy, despite the fact that it's plastic. I've cranked on it pretty ruthlessly, and I'm sure it will hold up to years of use. It does a good job making raw pasta from zucchini and squash. Carrots are tricky because of the size--play around with the way you slice them first, and you'll get it to work. One of my favorite uses for the Benriner is spiralizing beets. It makes quick work of an otherwise messy job, and a spiral-sliced beet salad is one of the sexiest summer meals you'll ever meet.

You'll have to play with the blade attachments to find the one that works for each veggie: sometimes on harder veggies, the smaller size works best. Just be patient, and you'll learn to play well with your new kitchen helper.

The Benriner doesn't speak English too fluently--the box and the directions are unclear, but they're so darn cute that it's ok. You don't need the directions anyway--this tool is easy to use, the blades swap out easily, and it's easy to clean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally A Truly Reliable Spiral Slicer! April 14, 2007
The Benriner Cook's Helper originated in Japan and aren't we glad that its made its way to the US! A very reliable spiral slicer offering true versatility and durability. 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like a charm! August 20, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase
My wife wanted to be able to make spaghetti-thin strands of carrot, beet and other vegetables, to add to salads and soups. This thing fits the bill perfectly, and works like a charm. The only caution is that it is difficult to figure out how to use it from the instructions, which are in Japanese with a hit-and-miss (and sometimes humorous) English translation. Once I got it working, though, it was fast and easy to shred and slice vegetables, and fast and easy to clean. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome! September 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this veggie slicer! When I first looked at buying one, I couldn't decide between this one and one of the less expensive brands, but ultimately, I decided to get this one for two different reasons: 1) it is smaller than the Spirooli and I have a small kitchen, so space is an issue and 2) it makes FOUR different types of "noodles" - ribbon, angel hair, spaghetti and fettuccine. I wasn't so sure I wanted to spend the extra money on it as it is a little more expensive than the other brands, but I also wanted it to last. I planned on making it a regular feature in my kitchen instead of just something I used once in a while. And it is so worth the money! This little device works like a charm. I have used it on zucchini, yellow squash, sweet potatoes (several varieties), onions, jicama, rutabaga, and I plan on trying it on fruits in the near future. It is true that the veggies should be relatively straight, but the size doesn't completely matter because I have used thinner zucchini and larger, more rotund rutabagas and had great success. It also helps if the veggies are a bit more on the firm side, rather than soft, as this will affect the texture of the "pasta", but it is still tasty no matter what. This is a great way to eat more raw foods or even change the texture and variety of the cooked foods you are eating because you can make the "noodles" and then cook them if you want something more substantial than regular wheat or rice pasta. This is a really fun device, works great and is very well made. Very sturdy, very sharp, and easy to use. I also highly recommend watching a couple of YouTube videos by John from discountjuicers.com to help you decide which spiralizer you want to get.... Read more ›

Easy to use, and clean . Our meals are more nutritious and a lot more fun to prepare. Spaghetti sauce has never been more nutritious, and we serve it on spiralized zucchini.
