The KitchenAid Spiralizer Attachment cost between $75.00 (Kohls) up to $149.00 (Macy’s) depending on where you shop and averages at $129.00 (almost everywhere). The Padero Spiral Vegetable Slicer cost around $30.00. (I’ve seen look-a-likes that cost less and might not work as well?)

The Pros

1- It’s a KichenAid Product that mostly metal with some plastic parts -Padero is mostly plastic with some metal.

2- It’s easy to clean – As is the Padero.

3-It has a peeler attachment – The Padero does not peal.

4-It makes a nice shape spiral for frying. – The Padero makes slightly thinner spirals.

The Cons

1-It cost more than the Padero Spiral Vegetable Slicer

2- It doesn’t do angel hair strands like the Padero

3-Odd shape potatoes don’t spiralize unlike the when using the Padero

Potato that I couldn’t Spiral cut from KitchenAid I could use in the Padero

4-Potatoes that are medium/large and larger need to be cut down because they don’t fit in. The Padero  can slide to do a larger potato or squash.

5- I wasted some potatoes that I tried to spiralize and the waste splattered all over my counter.

Well the forking truth is that the Padero doesn’t look as cool as the KichenAid Attachment and how long it will last against the KitchenAid Attachment I don’t know. It also doesn’t peal but for me it works better and more efficient.

So I already Forking Returned the KitchenAid Spiralizer Attachment.

I can’t say it’s not worth a fork because it can spiralize nicely under the right conditions.
