The attachment and blades come in a solid cardboard box that does require some storage space but we think worth it if you spiralize regularly. Countertop spiralizers, also referred to as tabletop spiralizers, come with either rotating side hand cranks or vertical hand cranks. Handheld spiralizers are an affordable and compact option, perfect for irregular usage, limited countertop space or cupboard space (or great for those only want to create small quantities of veggie noodles). For best results use chunky veg and cut the top and bottom straight, so that it has a level base before fixing it to the spikes.

Resilience: As we were looking to shred and spiralize harder vegetables, it was important the gadgets were strong and durable – a wobbly handle or flimsy blade won’t cut the mustard when it comes to creating sweet potato or celeriac matchsticks. This spiralizer is an attachment for a KitchenAid stand mixer that secures to the front of the machine. Aside from terrific blade performance and ease of use, we loved that this spiralizer safely folds down into one piece (although this can make setting it up a slightly slower process).Due to its cone-shaped design, we found these Kuhn Rikon handheld models worked well with thinner carrots. Just twist a vegetable against the blades to create spaghetti shaped food such as twisting courgettes and curly potatoes skins.

Ease of use: In the case of stand and hand-held spiralizers, we wanted to be able to attach our fruit and vegetables easily, then use a simple lever or twist motion to speedily create ribbons without having to exert too much force.

The open blade design accommodates both long vegetables and round vegetables, while the handle on food holder is easy to grip and turns all the way down for minimal waste while keeping your hands safe. A spiked pad holds the veg securely and with the slide of a switch the mixer’s motor drives the blade towards the veg for effortless spiralizing.

We rated it highly as a vegetable chopper, but if you want to focus on zoodles, pick one of two blades: A thinner one for julienne-like spirals and a thicker ribbon option. Suction: If it's a countertop model, does it have a suction lever to release and stick to the countertop?The design of the Joseph Jospeh Spiro 3in1 Hand Held Spiralizer keeps mess to a minimum collecting food as you cut it and makes spiralizing a whole range of vegetables super neat and easy. While it costs a bit more than some spiralizers (especially for one with only three blades), it's clearly built to last. The blades are not as clearly labeled as they could be and the countertop suction was not as strong or easy to remove from the counter.

When you get down to the end of a vegetable, the food holder keeps your hands safe; it also acts as a storage cap. Quick, tasty and healthy, spiralizing has taken the world by storm, and we think OXO Good Grips’ Handheld Spiralizer is one of the best we have used.In short, spiralizers enable you to cut vegetables quickly with chef-like precision, so you can get a healthy dinner on the table faster.
