Spiralizer Inspiralizer Pro: Official vegetable spiralizer of Inspiralized®

I had the Paderno spiralizer before this, and it did a pretty good job. However, about 6 months after using it on tough veggies, such as squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., it cracked on the crank handle, and no longer could work for anything other than very soft vegetables. I love Ali and her cookbooks, and was wanting a reason to purchase her Inspiralizer. Even though more expensive, it hasn't disappointed! Well worth the price difference, as it spiralizes the tough veggies with ease! I have to use far less muscle than what I did with the Paderno. Also, I love how you can just turn the knob to change blades, versus taking the various 4 blades out/in. It is much nicer to have an all-in-one piece, rather than a bunch of separate pieces. I also find it cleans much easier! My only complaint is that I can't get it to suction on my countertop as well as the Paderno did (removing the Paderno spiralizer from the countertop is another story). It comes loose pretty easily, and I find I have to re-suction 1-3 times while doing a tougher vegetable. Would love to get some tips on how to get a better suction. Overall, I am loving this product much more than my older one, and am happy to have Ali's official "Inspiralizer" to go with her amazing recipes! I highly recommend purchasing if you want to increase you veggie intake, eat healthier by eating whole foods packed with nutrition, or if you have any food allergies such as gluten or dairy. Ali's recipes and this tool have helped me immensely with my dietary and health needs!

I bought this after being tempted by all the great recipes on Ali Maffucci's blog that I wanted to try. I bought it along with her two cookbooks and because using the Inspiralizer straight out of the box after a quick wash. I'm a lefty and had used the Paderno (the other spiralizer) with some issues and I was worried this wasn't going to work for me either, but I really hate chopping so I was willing to take a risk. It works like magic, it's easy to clean as long as you rinse it pretty quickly after using, there is very little waste from your veggies and it grips my granite counters very well. I put it next to flexible cutting boards to collect the noodles or slices and off we go! My kids are always amazed at the length of the veggie "noodles" we can make. It's easy and safe enough for my 9 year old to use with some help setting the veggies right and my kids are enjoying vegetables from beets to daikon all in fun noodle forms.

I love the Inspiralized website and her cookbooks, but I ordered the Inspiralizer 10 months ago and the blades are bent and dull now. It still does a great job on softer vegetables, but it will no longer cut denser and harder vegetables as it makes a big mess and rices them more than makes noodles of them. I'm really disappointed because I really hoped it would have lasted longer than it has, but I don't really want to buy another one if it's going to go dull in another 10 months. I love that it sticks to my counters with the suction cups, it's easy to clean, and the noodles come out beautifully when it's sharp.

I like it a lot. This was our first purchase and I don't have another to compare it to except a handheld one (this is WAY easier). However, 2 design flaws that I'm not crazy about. The suction pads on the base don't work very well. If you're spiralizing more than 2 veggies in a row you have to redo the suction cups because the unit becomes loose. I've tried on granite and quartz counters and neither holds for very long. They also collect water easily when washing so I'm worried in a few months / years they'll get moldy and become useless. The second feature that could use a re-design is the base that you hold to advance the veggie forward. When you push it forward the base plate comes out on the other side of the blade. This unfortunately is exactly where you'd be collecting the veggies (in a bowl or similar) so the base plate pushes any collecting unit out of the way and the remainder of the veggie will fall on the counter. Bummer. Aside from those 2 features it's overall really nice, cuts many veggies quite easily and makes fun new ways of eating veggies that my kids are excited to try. Baked sweet potato "spirals" cook much faster than traditional potato wedges, carrot "ribbons" and zucchini spaghetti have been a hit.

Such a great product! Easy to use - easy-ish to clean (get a spare toothbrush and just keep in the kitchen for the blades - I almost cut myself trying to clean with a sponge - but that is user error not product problem). Before I got the Inspiralizer, I had a Vegetti. If I was spiralizing 1 zucchini every once in a while, that would probably have sufficed- but I now spiralize every veggie I can (I have done zuc, onion (makes great onion straws) sweet potato, regular potato and yellow squash. Carrots I haven't tried and would assum you need to have a pretty wide one - but probably totally do-able. My only issue with the product was the initial suctioning to the counter top. It works ok - not great but not a deal breaker at all. My counters are older formica and probably not totally flat. I HIGHLY recommend.

Unfortunately my The Inspiralizer: Official Vegetable Spiralizer of Inspiralized broke after only a few weeks use. Bit rude.I checked several how to tutorials on the YouTube, yet no spiralized sweet potato. Or sweed. Or parsnips. Or peppers. Damn.Turns out that the spiky round thing that holds the end in place got arsey and kept roataing into the vegetables. NOOOOO! This meant that the blades wouldn't cut (except for my finger tip. Blood sauce anyone)? That's my Convid-19 weight on my bones for a couple of moons longer.Due to just being outside the returns time limit and, even if the company were willing to provide a refund, the p&p from Ireland to the UK wouldn't have been worth the expense. Recycling bin o'clock it was.Experience and disappointment chalked, new [stainless steel and different brand] spiralizer delivered today. Here's hoping...🙏🥒

The inspiralizer works very well. I love that it can be stablized on the counter so it stays in place. I also like that the blades are part of the machine and not separate. It can be easily cleaned.

Great so far. Gotten kids to enjoy veggies. They love to spiralise their veggies and eat it too.

A wonderful kitchen gadget, especially for people who love the consistency of noodles. I think the inspiralizer is one of the best spiralizers on the market.

Just received my Inspiralizer this week and have used it for the first time today. So far I'm pleased with the results, but there are a few downsides:- The Price: This is a very high price tag for some plastic and blades. Other brands are less expensive, and Ali (the Inspiralizer founder) herself says her first unit only lasted her about a year using it 3-5 times/day. At ~$75, I would expect it to last far longer, even with heavy use.- Cleaning the machine is difficult: The plastic stains on the first use, even with immediate cleaning (as in I spiralized a carrot and a zucchini and cleaned it on the spot). Extremely fine strands of vegetable lodge in a tiny crevice behind the blade (on the side of the machine where the spiralized veggies come out) which I had to VERY carefully remove with my fingers as a brush would not budge it. It was fully inside a crevice.- As advertised, you really do need vegetables that are fairly wide to make this work. For things like zucchini and potato, this is no problem... but for veggies like carrots I personally don't often see them for sale at min. 2" diameter (maybe at the top, but certainly not most of the carrot). Just something to keep in mind, depending on what vegetables you were hoping to use the machine for.Now for the "pros":- The machine secures to the counter rock-solid with the two clamps and suction pads underneath. No movement whatsoever means a much safer experience.- It's easy to 'plug' the veggie where it's supposed to be (one end onto a single protrusion, the other gets impaled by multiple spiky bits on the crank) and to turn the handle. The design is very ergonomic and I think would be easy to use for anyone suffering from hand/wrist/arm weakness due to arthritis, tendonitis, other degenerative conditions or simple aging.- The veggies came out very nice & even, with only a few incorrectly-shaped pieces towards the end - easily removed (fine to use if you're not bothered).Overall I'm happy I got the machine, but having seen the founder herself put such a short anticipated time limit on the product I'm nervous it's going to be a very expensive short-term investment. I'll update the review if/when the product fails.
