I was inspired to get a spiralizer, and specifically this spiralizer, by Martha Rose Shulman's book "Spiralize this!". Inspired by that book, I got this spiralizer and also a Mueller Pro 4-blade crank spiralizer. With the Mueller, you turn a crank handle. With the Oxo you hold the veg in you hands and twist and push it into the spiralizer. The Oxo works like a Veg-ghetti (if you've ever tried one of those), but it does a better job, is easier to use, and is MUCH easier to clean.
Compared to a crank spiralizer, the Oxo is a bit slow and tiring, but it works great for some vegs (especially softer vegs of odd shapes or sizes) where a crank spiralizer like the Mueller just won't work. So if you're into spiralizing things, it is good to have both types of spiralizer in your kitchen tool-kit.
For an entry-level spiralizer (with the Mueller being the next step up), I give it high marks. It is inexpensive, compact, sturdy, and it is quick and easy to clean. And if you ever get a crank spiralizer, you will still want to keep it. It will still be the best tool for the job in some cases.

This is the spiralizer you'll actually use - it's "just right"
For ease of use, storage size, and not having to deal with a jigsaw puzzle of parts, this is the spiralizer you'll reach for and actually use. I started spiralizing veggies with one of those double-coned pencil sharpener-style gadgets a few years ago, but it was very limited and it broke a lot of my veggies without even spiralizing them. I then moved up to a fancy crank-style spiralizer with lots of parts and a catch basin, etc. It does a good job, but it's as much fun to get out of the cabinet as my food processer. I avoid it. This OXO, however, is just right. It makes me feel like Goldilocks, lol. I've used it with carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, and beets (wear food service gloves to avoid beet-stained hands) to make gorgeous and delicious veggie noodles. It's easy to use for large or small batches, and it cleans up quickly. I've been using the OXO single blade spiralizer for a year now, and the only downside is that it only makes one size of noodle. Just today, I thought "wouldn't it be great if it had interchangeable blades so I could make different cuts without greatly increasing the size or hassle-factor of the OXO." I looked on Amazon and - wow - was very pleased to see my wish had been granted. (If only it were always so easy, huh?) I'm ordering a three-blade model today! One last thing: the colorful blades, in addition to color-coding the blade type, make the OXO even more cheerful and fun to use - and they don't show stains the way the white plastic spiralizers do.
