I've only tried this on zucchini and raw beats to make skinny noodles. Zucchini is a breeze. Raw beets are harder. When you use the amount of force required to push as your turning, the feet don't stay put so it's a bit difficult. Clean up is very easy.
It did not come with any instructions. There was no paper insert explaining anything. There are photos on the outside of the box, though, that pretty much makes it obvious so I didn't think that much of it until my sister purchased the World Cuisine tri-blade slicer. It was only a few dollars more yet had so many more favorable reviews. I think if i could do it over again, i would have ordered that one instead.
Here's my list of differences (see photos):
1. the World Cuisine came with instructions.
2. the World Cuisine had the blades covered in plastic
3. the New & Essential had screws that looked stripped
4. the blades on the New & Essential do not look as well mounted
It seems to me that the New & Essential used the same factory molds for the plastics, but somehow is just a tad shoddier. OR...I just got a refurb that was not properly identified as such.
In terms of workmanship, i can't really complain because it works as I had expected. If not the World Cuisine model you should opt for the Benriner Cook Helper Slicer because pushing downward would be easier than counting on suction feet to stay clamped I think.

After one use, it does what it is supposed to do. I made zucchini noodles just fine with this. It has 3 blades: a slicing blade, a chipper blade (curly fries), and a shredder blade (noodles). The extra blades store inside the slicer. If you haven't used a spiral slicer before, be aware there will be a "core" left of whatever you are slicing, as well as some "shavings". I just threw the extras in the pot.
PROS: Suction cups on bottom 4 corners keeps unit in place on counter while slicing, blades store inside the slicer, intuitive use, works as it is supposed to, cleans up easily.
CONS: Lever under the rotary wheel is used to push the vegetable into the blade while you are turning the wheel at the same time. This lever is made of a low quality plastic and I wonder how long it will last until it breaks, no directions provided with unit. Instead, directions are on the back of the box which you will likely throw away.

I was looking for a "Spirooli" alternative, and found this one as well as a seemingly identical one by World Cuisine (which, by the way, has great reviews). I chose this one because the day I ordered, the price and shipping worked out cheaper. I've used it a few times to make zucchini "pasta", and it works great! Yes, it's mostly plastic, but that is not at all detrimental to the performance. My inner child has great fun making those looong strips of noodles, but since they're easier to work with a bit shorter, I cut them to size as they're coming out.
I press down the suction cups beside a cutting board to catch the zucchini "pasta". If the slicer moves around while I'm spinning the handle, I use my free hand to hold the base steady, while moving the tray handle along with the thumb of that same hand. Very simple. The core that is left over isn't necessarily waste, I either snack on what's left, or add it to the freezer baggie of veggie scraps I keep to use for chicken stock.
I can't imagine being any level of handy in the kitchen, and having a difficult time operating the slicer. Just make flat ends on whatever you're cutting, center one end onto the little tube/protrusion that holds the veggie above the blade, slide the rotating handle til the little spikes make contact with the other end, and spin. Not so complicated. Even if it were complicated, the awesome results would make the effort worthwhile.
If you let it sit after you use it, it will obviously be difficult to clean once everything dries on. I rinse everything off right away, and that makes clean-up nice and easy.

Too light duty
Broke the day I got it. If you treat this with utmost care, maybe, but frankly I don't think the design is realistic.

It is awful. For zucchini it worked as expected. When I put the potato through, it didn't work at all. Read more

***WARNING*** very cheap knock-off of the Paderno World Cuisine one.
CONS: The blades dont stay in place. The prongs that hold the vegetable are much shorter than the Paderno one making it difficult for the veggie to stay in place. Read more

Poor Instructions
The instructions sent with this item was an EXTREMELY poor photo copy of the original instructions.

served its purpose
it wasn't as easy as i thought it would be, seems like I need to find things that are of a certain girth to spiral slice if not I get breakage in the spirals.
