Desperately Seeking Spiralizer

[lilylola78]

I wonder if someone can help me - I really want to make zucchini pasta having found several delicious recipes around the internet - but I need a spiralizer.

I've seen a few reviews of them and there seem to be problems with every type, so before I go ahead and spend my hard earned cash, I wonder if anyone can give me some advice on which ones are the best.

Many thanks in advance.

The web site Steamy Kitchen has a very in depth video review of several different models of spiralizers ranging from small hand held units to a larger counter top unit. You can see her reviews here:

I'm not affiliated with the web site btw, it's just one that I read regularly. And I've not personally tried any of the spiralizers she shows in her video. I got the impression though that counter top model would be the one I would go with if I did decide to get one of these though, since I liked how it cut more consistently and used up more of the vegetable. Plus it could also work with larger veggies.
