From KitchenAid, this compact attachment and assortment of blades compatible with any of KitchenAid’s stand mixers allows you to core, slice, and spiralize fruits and vegetables. However, despite it’s apparent versatility of use in this regard, this product and it’s pieces are only compatible with KitchenAid stand mixers. This attachment and it’s blades can’t be mixed and matched with mixers from any other brands. That means that, while you’ll certainly be able to get a lot of use out of this set if you have a KitchenAid stand mixer, you won’t be able to get any use at all if you don’t.
While the requirement of a KitchenAid stand mixer may seem like a negative in this regard, it does mean that, when all of the pieces are properly put together, you are getting a lot more power from this unit overall than you would from a comparable hand-cranking unit. Whether or not this abundance of power is required is up to you, the chef. With a KitchenAid mixer and this vegetable spiralizer attachment, you can create unlimited amounts of zucchini noodles, and even peel and cut foods such as apples, sweet potatoes, and beets to create dishes both sweet and savory. For those looking to create a large amount of dishes in a reasonable amount of time, using a high-powered stand mixer with this attachment from KitchenAid may be the way to go.
There are a few negative points to be made about this attachment when compared to some other spiralizers on the market. For one, this product comes at a pretty high price point, especially when taking into consideration that it is not even a complete and functioning unit in it’s own right. Once you’re purchased this, you will still have to purchase a KitchenAid stand mixer if you don’t have one already. Besides this, however, there are some minor issues when it comes to fitting larger fruits and vegetables into the attachment. As well, sometimes the incredible power created by the motor of the KitchenAid mixer is too strong for the attachment, causing fruits and vegetables to get dislodged from or snagged on the attached blade.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
The cons of this product only rear their head periodically and many may still find this attachment from KitchenAid to be the ultimate vegetable spiralizer. If you already have a KitchenAid stand mixer and don’t want to take up counter-space with a totally new device, or if you need to spiralize, slice, and core an incredible amount of food in a reasonable amount of time, this is a very solid product.
