spiralizer

[rawbabes]

Hi, I am trying to determine which spiralizer is best. I am deciding between the:
1-World Cuisine 49827-99 Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer
(this is the white plastic one with rubber feet, horizontal)
2-Benriner Turning Slicer
(this is horizontal)
3-Benriner Cook Help Spiral Vegatable Slicer
(this is different from #2, it's vertical)
I've read through the various reviews about each one but can't determine which would be the best investment. Please help! (I know already I don't like the Saladacco, it's cheap and is too small)
Thanks!!

Shopping for a spiralizer is hard, they cost so much! I finally settled on a vertical Benriner. I have used it for two years and it is holding up well and it works just fine for me, haven't tried any others. I think the horizontal model might be a plus as the spiralized veggies build up under the vertical one and you have to move it around on the table as you work. I'm sure you'll get more responses; good luck and enjoy!

Hey mamamack, I ended up getting the world cuisine horizontal white one for like 30$ on amazon. I tried this one and the benriner horizontal one and loved this one much more because it was lifted higher off the counter Whig makes it easier to catch the spiraled food in a bowl, this had rubber feet to keep it from sliding everywhere, it's half the price, the blades are all stainless steel and sharp! I called my whole foods raw bar (in Austin, tx) an they use this one too and said they've had it for awhile and loved it. I highly recommend the world cuisine spiralizer. Hope this helps!!

Hi,
I just got a benriner vertical. It seems fine for zuchini (though the noodles are flatter to me ... more like linguini). It is nice and compact.

Though, I'm not currently that satisfied with how it does carrots and hard root veggies. I've tried small angel hair size and med size. The veggies are fine, but I sure have to push down hard. I'm wondering if the other models are easier to work with...
