Is the Veggetti Spiral Slicer a Scam?

Most people worry about whether or not 'As Seen on TV' products are scams or not. With the release of the Veggetti, many now wonder if the claims made in the commercial are too good to be true. Below, I will run through the reality of the Vegetti.


1. Is the Veggetti Commercial Lying?

Since most people are introduced to this product through the commercial, we should address whether or not it is truthful. From my perspective, the commercial is perfectly truthful in what it claims.

What is mainly being sold is a kitchen gadget that will spiralize zucchinis. They do not deviate from this idea too much, they simply show how much better of an idea it is to eat raw vegetable pasta versus bleached white flour pasta.

2. Will the Veggetti Actually Cut Vegetables?

Yes, the Veggetti will actually cut through your vegetables. Now, the Veggetti does not make picture perfect strands out of the things being cut. The thin/angel hair pasta setting will make a bit of a mess out of what is being cut. The thicker cut setting does a much better job at making pleasant looking strands.

The Veggetti is primarily designed to handle the softer fruits and vegetables. Zucchini gets cut through with ease. Now, things like potatoes are much harder to cut through.

3. Is the Veggetti Worth the Price?

For a spiralizer, the Veggetti is actually one of the lowest priced on the market. If you are only wanting to spiralize zucchini, it is a reasonable purchase to make.

Here is my review and take on the Veggetti. 

4. Are there Better Alternatives?


Yes, most definitely. All spiralizers are relatively inexpensive, so price differences should not be a huge deal. Before buying a Veggetti I would recommend a few different products.

For a handheld spiralizer, I think the GEFU Spirelli Spiral Slicer is much nicer.

In terms of the absolute best spiralizer, I would recommend going with a counter top model. For that, I would have to say the Tri-Blade Vegetable Slicer by Spiralizer is the absolute best choice to make.
