Morphy Richards Electric Spiralizer 432020 2 blades Spaghetti and Ribbons Silver/Black Spiralizer

I'm such a fan of this thing. I've followed the advice of people on this thread and it's worked without any issues for me. It's really fast, minimal effort and way quicker, more convenient and healthier than spaghetti. If you plan on using this a lot then it's best to go with an electric version in my opinion. It's not a very big machine, no bigger than a kettle, pretty easy to clean, not very loud.

This is so easy to use and clean and it creates effortless spirals of various vegetables

I wasn't really expecting total satisfaction from this machine, but I actually do like it. It is sturdy enough and, after a couple of failed attempts caused by my own inexperience, it spiralized a sweet potato quickly and neatly. It is important to press hard enough on the plunger, and for the veg. to be very firm, otherwise the plunger will lose its grip and the veg. will spin around. If that happens it's easy enough to just cut the mashed end off and start again. The only downside I've found is that the cord storage is rather pathetic and irritating. It's not on a recoil sort of system, you just keep shoving it through the hole until it stays in there. It might have been better with a trap door on the back and pegs to wind the cable around inside … with space for the plug. On the whole, I do like it, and will most likely be using it daily. Spirals cook lots quicker and are fun to eat in many different ways.

Moo. Had extremely high hopes for this... but it's extremely disappointing. It's slightly juddery, and doesn't really enjoy spiralizing anything tougher than courgettes. You can do carrots, for example, but it has to grind it out and you can hear it working hard to get through the ordeal. You need to push down on harder vegetables, and I'm always a little worried it's going to snap something off. But it can do different types of "spaghetti" and if you're plant-based or keto, it's brilliant to be able to recreate pasta, albeit vegetable-y. The other problem is it's a faff to clean. All graters are, I suppose, but this is especially faffy, for some reason, and given its price, you'd want it to maybe clean itself (and put the bins out afterwards.) I just watched the product information video and the woman in it looks very happy with her Spiralizer... maybe hers was better than mine. Can I have that one instead?

I hesitated about buying this as it had some very mixed reviews and is very expensive at the original price. However, I really wanted a spiraliser because I have Type 1 diabetes and don't eat carb so I knew it would give me a much greater variety of meals but I also knew that I am far too lazy to faff about with a manual one. Anyway, when the price reduced, I took a chance and I am so glad I did. It is brilliant and has revolutionised my meals. I've had it about 6 weeks and I've spiralised courgettes for all sorts of 'spaghetti' and 'noodle' dishes, carrots for Thai dishes and celeriac for pesto dishes. Beetroot is next - although I've no idea what to do with beetroot!!! All have worked brilliantly although the celeriac is a little tricky as you have to cut it to a size and shape to fit the tube. It is easy to use and easy to clean. I'm not really sure why some reviewers have had such difficulty with it - unless they had faulty ones. I use it at least 3 or 4 times a week - although I'm a little miffed at the current national courgette shortage! LOL!

I bought this as an upgrade from my plastic cone spiralizer which could only really handle courgettes. This can only handle large firm straight veg, otherwise the teeth get clogged with fragments of veg. Clearing the teeth is a pain, the machine has to be dissassembled and reassembled, the veg gets smashed so there's nothing left to spiralise, The pushing tool only works if the veg is long enough to be held in the correct place in the cutting cone, otherwise it falls off, or spins off and blocks the teeth. I've tried beetroot (medium success as it is firm) but large globes have to be cut to fit into the feeding tube, parsnip - if he tip is too narrow it blocks the bottom of the cone and doesn't engage with the teeth. I've resorted to my manual spiralizer for the largish pieces left or curved veg. As for washing up, there's the feeder tube/lid, the feeder tool, the cone, the inner gear thing and the collecting bit. Not impressed.

good machine, as soon as it arrived I ripped open the box and got it out and of course started using it lol I have been eating spiralled veg ever since,I have done carrots, butternut squash and courgettes as the moment cos that is all I have and I have spiralled put in a microwaved container and cooked for 4 mins with a little seasoning and flora light great for quick veg side dish. what I did last night was all three veg cooked for 4 mins with flora light and put on dinner plates with a grilled chicken breast and its seasonings on top with spiralised ribbon potatoes cooked with butter it was all yummy and so quick to do, I hight recommend this machine. I am not sure however how to do beets I mean do we have pre cook beets before spiralising or not ? any answers please don't hesitate to reply!

I have no idea why people complain about this little device! It works perfectly well for me (pictures attached), does what it says on the box, it's very quiet, and I'm one happy customer. Cleaning is not a big deal at all, I rinse the parts with hot water, dry them, and that's it. Took me less than 2 minutes. The device comes VERY well packed, not a chance that it would move inside the box. And the leftovers, which can't be spiralized are actually quite small (see pic). Easy enough to chop them up and to add to the food, might take another 60 seconds or so. I wholeheartedly recommend this device. PS: i just read that some customers actually tried to use this device manually - the transparent part has to click into place! If it doesn’t the machine won’t start! It has to be twisted CLOCKWISE, until you get an audiable “click”! Then it works a charm. EDIT March 30th 2018: After a month using it I kinda understand some people's problems. The machine tends to be temperamental (don't ever try and use a courgette which is even slightly soft in the middle - the "cross" at the bottom of the holder device won't be able to stick in and hold properly, and you get the "hey, my courgette is spinning and spinning" but no courgettis. I still like and use it, but you really want to use fresh and firm vegetables!
