This significantly slows down the shredding process not only because you are dealing with fewer vegetables at a time, but also because you may have to stop and recut your pieces.ĭesign flaws aside, this attachment does work as intended and is much easier to clean than a box grater. At only 1.5 inches wide, vegetables have to be cut into thin sticks. I found that this is not a controlled fall, and if you don't use a bowl with tall enough sides, wayward pieces will end up on the floor and countertop.Īnother issue was the small feeder opening. The shredded material comes out of the horizontal tube and drops into your bowl from almost a foot above the counter. The attachment is basically made up of two perpendicular tubes – the vertical one holds the feeder, where you insert whatever you're shredding, and the horizontal one holds (and rotates) the blade. However, issues with the design brought this attachment down in my rankings. It did its job, slicing and shredding evenly sized and shaped pieces of carrots, mozzarella cheese, and Yukon potatoes. This attachment did not stand out among the others I tested. Though the blades are top-rack dishwasher safe, they were perfectly clean after blasting them with water and some light scrubbing with a scouring pad. The spiralizer does come out the furthest from the stand mixer out of the attachments I tested, but since it doesn't add height and you can place a bowl directly under it, I found it easy to manage.Įach of the four blades powered through apples, zucchini, and white potatoes easily, creating fun and evenly shaped spirals. It's easy to put together – after you attach the main body to the mixer, you just slot in the skewer and blade. The seven-piece sets also include thin slicing blades and extra-fine spiralizing blades. I tested the five-piece set that includes small and large core slicing blades, a peeling blade, and medium and fine spiralizing blades. The KitchenAid spiralizer attachment has three parts: the attachment's main body, the skewer, and the blade.
