I like that it peels too. I wonder if my mother would use it. I didn't even think about arthritis sufferers until elaine mentioned it. She has terrible hand pain, but loves potatoes and apple pie. I don't think she does veggie noodles yet, but she likes to eat healthy, so she might start if she had this. Thanks for the idea. It's nice to have a Christmas present decided already.  |

It costs twice as much?? I can't even bring myself to spend $50 on the hand cranked device. It probably isn't for you then! For people who already own a Kitchenaid (a $200+ device), want a spiralizer that easily stores in a drawer, and are also interested in a peeler, this may be of interest. For people with arthritis, that they don't have to crank anything to peel or spiralize, since the Kitchenaid powers the device, may well make it worth the $$. I use a spiralizer so much that I broke my first one and promptly bought another. And I have my Kitchenaid on my counter as it is, so this set was perfect for me. For others, it will be a great thing to put on birthday/Christmas wish lists. Kitchenaid stuff isn't cheap, unfortunately, but tends to be very well made. I know how much a kitchenaid costs. I've had 2 in the past 10 years. I also have attachments for it. I was just giving my opinion, it doesn't look like it is worth that much money. |

For people who spiralize and peel a lot of apples and potatoes, or who have arthritis, it may be worth it. For me, it was a good buy.  |

Put me on the "want" list. I have the Paderno spiralizer but would love the smaller storing size of this one.

OMG! I *need* this! It will replace my old Pampered Chef apple slicer thingy that I hate using. And the spiralizing? Awesome bonus! When I saw this advertised a while back...this is exactly what I thought too! |
