4.0 out of 5 stars Needs a Second Size Grater, November 7, 2007

By	B.T. Paul - See all my reviews

Needs a Second Size Grater

Good old Salad Shooter. Got a cordless one back in the mid-80s and loved it, but they stopped making the battery piece for it and mine died. Should have bought the one with the cord, so I could still use it.

With the Professional version, the blades and feeding shoot are bigger and wider than the basic Salad Shooter, but sadly, there is only one grating blade and it grates in thick results. So, you have to go to www.gopresto.com to order variable grater sizes.

No fine grating here. That's good for carrots (FYI, celery does NOT grate well in this -- it clogs horribly, use a different blade), but if you want your parmesan delicate, you will need to then put it in a food processor to pulverize it to powder. No in-between solution for thin, grated cheese.

Kind of defeats my main purpose of the shooter. Would have preferred to see 2 types of grating blades in the package.

Easy clean up (except be warned, when you grate cheese a good dollop is left behind the twist-on ring and in the bottom of the shoot). A little clumsy getting the unit to snap together. The old basic Shooter was easier to lock and load.

Otherwise, seems to be a strong tool (it's a bit loud) -- had it about 3 months; so far so good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perennial Christmas gift favorite, November 7, 2006

By	Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

You know it's Christmastime when ads on TV suggest getting this device for your Christmas gift list. If you have a person on your list who eats a lot of salads and vegetables, this could be a huge hit.

A variation on the old fashioned cone-style grater that chops or shreds, the electric device takes carrots, cabbage, lettuce, or what have you into a chute and "shoots" the shredded or sliced product out the front nozzle. Changing the cones is not difficult.

It's also handy for people who cook for church groups or other large groups, as you can process a lot of coleslaw or salad or side vegetables in short order.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice size shredder, March 15, 2006

By	Kaylea Bert "Kay" (TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have really enjoyed using my saladshooter, it is exactly what I needed, it is big enough to handle just about every veggie that we eat. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating was that it did not come with a smaller shredder attachment. It comes with the large shredder, the large slicer and a medium slicer, which are all nice, but not the smaller shredder. But for the money it is just perfect. I use it almost every day.
