Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have had this unit long enough to have used it on zucchini, carrots, sweet potato, cabbage and parsnips. I haven't had occasion to use any of the large noodle or ribbon cutters as the small noodle cutter does all I have been interested in using. I have had no problems and the unit seems to be strong enough for the toughest jobs (which is parsnips so far; they are much more firm texture than carrots). Also been experimenting using the microwave to semi cook some of the more firm vegetables just enough to get them to cut more easily without destroying sufficient firmness. This is an area that doesn't seem to have much exploration but I have been having success in doing this with sweet potato and carrots and next will be those 'hard' parsnips. It doesn't take much time in the micro and of course it is dependent on the size of the vegetable and the power of the microwave unit. Therefore it will be an area of personal experimentation, but; one I find useful to me. The suction cup feet work well on my non-porous counter top and hold securely allowing me to effectively use the feed handle while cranking. All in all I am quite happy with this unit and am enjoying the increased vegetable intake in my diet.
