Pros:
Heavy duty construction that keep it firmly placed upon the counter top. Nothing frustrates me more in the kitchen than working with flimsy plastic equipment that can barely process the needs I have without shaking all about the kitchen. This is especially a problem in Spiralizing equipment as the cook is using a good deal of energy while spinning the vegetable to be spiralized. No such problem exists with the Tri-blade Vegetable Slicer By Spiralizer thanks to be 30% more sturdy than its competition.
Spiralizing vegetables is criminally underused in the vegan kitchen. Spaghetti is a staple in the American diet, and can easily be adapted for the vegan diet. However, spaghetti dishes even for vegans tend to be unhealthy having the pasta being made of white flour, loaded down with olive oil, and smothered in salty sauce. Replacing the blandness of spaghetti noodles with raw vegetables will yield a 1000% improvement in taste. No longer will the dish have to be drowned in an oily and salty mess. Flavors of raw vegetables will shine through and provide a meal experience based on pleasure, rather than stuffing a belly to capacity with a hot meal.
For raw vegans, the Tri-blade Vegetable Slicer by Spiralizer is an absolute necessity. Monomeals are great on a raw vegan diet, but dishes more 'traditional' are needed on several occasions. 99.9% of the United States population will not understand a raw vegan diet, and a raw vegan should never compromise on diet in order to fit in. When a situation comes up for a raw vegan needing to feed others or providing an exciting dish to a dinner party, nothing works as well as a plate of raw zucchini pasta. Besides providing something incredibly tasty, everyone will want to see the raw version of spaghetti. Nobody will leave disappointed, not even the young kids who live off candy and McDonald's.
Zucchini is always dirt cheap when buying conventionally grown produce, it is also super cheap at Farmer's Markets and at organic food stores. The best source of zucchini, and any vegetables, will be the backyard garden though. As any gardener knows, zucchini is just about one of the easiest plants to grow during the Summer, and it always gives out tons of zukes. Eating all of the produce grown has been the traditional problem of gardeners growing the zucchini plant. With the Tri-blade Vegetable Slicer By Spiralizer, the home gardner will now be wanting to plant more zucchini plants in order to spiralize a side of pasta at dinner every night. Perfect when paired with home grown tomatoes that can turned into a fresh sauce.
Cons:
My biggest problem is with the end of the spiralizer. After cutting the vegetable up, it will just fall off onto the end of the product. It can flow into a bowl if one is placed at the end and this is the best solution to do as catching your product for whatever you have planned for the vegetable noodles is best. It is just that some always seems to get stuck onto the plastic part.
Be very careful when cutting things like beets. Juice will be leaking out of the beet like crazy. This juice is dark red and can look a little like blood when dried. Be sure to clean the Tri-blade Vegetable Slicer quite well. Even with the heavy duty design on this model Spiralizer made, it can be maneuvered easily during clean up. Also, if you eat raw beetroot, be aware that you will be noticing some red in the toilet bowl over the next 24 hours. Do not be alarmed, this will be due to the pigments found within the beet, and will have little chance of being blood.

Value for money?
The Tri-blade Vegetable Slicer By Spiralizer is a huge deal for the money. Unlike most similar products on the market, Spiralizer did not go out and make a cheap piece of plastic to be put under the counter and forgotten. Daily use of this tool will not wear it down in any meaningful way. Nothing is more important in your life than your own health and well being. Replacing the unhealthy choice of traditional spaghetti with raw zucchini noodles will be one major step in achieving the healthiest diet possible while still retaining all the nostalgic memories you have come to associate with food while growing up. Flavor of the dishes will improve tremendously, and you may even save money purchasing and growing zucchini versus buying pasta noodles at the store. Overall, I give the Tri-blade Vegetable Slicer 5/5 stars.
