This video was short and concise!
It showed what it could do and the results.
Thanks!
You're welcome!
So short, to the point and shows results. I wish more videos were like this! Thanks, Phil :) keep doing videos the way you do, your to-the-point delivery is perfect!
Short video, very informative, and straight to the point... I like you!
Thanks for the compliment!
Thank you for reviewing this for me! I got it as a Christmas gift and couldn’t wait to see what it could do!
No problem!
Worked for carrots, potatoes and onions. Didn't work for cabbage, tomatoes or anything with some moisture in it, like cucumbers. I basically threw my grater out, mostly because it didn't stay stuck to the counter and, in one case, everything went flying. But Phil. you handled it nicely and I liked your demo.
A mi no me resultó útil, en comparación con el precio, parece un juguete de niño
Straight to the point without waisting time . Good video
Thanks!
Thank you. Your review was very clear. Short and to the point.
Glad it was helpful!
Oh wow, I don't think I've ever enjoyed a reviewer more. You're systematic, nicely timed, visually informative, and you give great responses to comments.
I'd like to know the size of the coarse grate. How thick in mm is the resulting veg (for example, carrot)?
Thanks a lot
Thanks for the positive feedback! The diameter of the holes in the coarse grate insert is about 6 mm and the thickness of the shreds is between 1-2 mm.
Awesome 😎 just got this.... I love it thanks for the video helps alot where I is this online it did have the instructions on it but I had already watched your video...
I graded cheese sprayed it first outside inside So this cheese would slide out easier when it comes out but I need to put it where it was angled more so that was my problem.
Maybe if I had it at an angle I wouldn't had to spray it. But spraying this is good because the cheese does not stick to the barrel.
Try it. That is the way I preferred to do it. 🙂
Also, I did not use the small shredder for grinding up my block mozzarella cheese. I did not used the slicer.
I used the bigger Grinder for my mozzarella block cheese I bought.
I would recommend buying this...
Thanks Phil for making helpful video
Hi. May i request if you could show whats it will look like if you use small size cheese grater to grate some garlic? Im thinking of buying this for my small business so i wonder if it’ll be worth it. Thank you! :)
We have already used this..it's amazing product..
I'd like your recipe for the artichoke chips in air fryer
Good review. Helped me make a purchase decision!
Glad I could help!
Have you tried with lettuce at all? If so what blade worked best?
Awesome review.. I wasn't sure about how it snapped into place. The writing is so small I was just guessing, so thank you.
You're welcome, glad it was helpful!
bruh this is awesome i will have to get one for my brother , he loves potato chips ❤
I just ordered mine, can't wait to get it! 😀
Hope you enjoy it!
@@ReviewedByPhil I just got mine & I love it! 😀
I was grating carrots and potatoes the other day and sliced my knuckle (again).. NO MORE. I need to figure something out cause this is frustrating!
Great video. Thanks
Gerat info. Thank you!
gorgeous accent, beautiful guy and review x
Nicely done!
Thanks!
Have you tried it with cheese?
Awesome review
Thanks!
thanks man
Is there another blade that can be used for the carrots that would give the same kind of result as the zucchini?
You can use the large grater blade with carrots; I would recommend, whole large carrots instead of baby carrots though, if you want sizable shreds instead of crumbles.
Hi! Thanks for the review!
I'm about to buy it... Saw some people saying the product is too fragile, the handle would break easy, some screws got rusty, and stuff like that... Is it true?
The product I have has no metal screws, so I haven't noticed any rust. The only part that "broke" on mine with a plastic cap at the back which actually didn't really serve any function as far as I could tell. In fact, the only reason it broke is because I tried to take it off to wipe up some water that got trapped behind it during washing (the piece is clear so I could see the water and I didn't want it to mildew). The product works fine without that cap, and now that it's off I can dry it fully, so I think it's actually better off without it. I could see if you're trying to grind something truly hard, like a lot of whole nutmeg or a rock hard piece of aged cheese, you could bend/dent the cutting drums, but if it feels you're you're twisting hard enough to break the handle, you are probably not using the right tool for the job. It works great with soft, semi-hard cheeses and most vegetables.
Did the handle slide off again? What’s your review of it now, and how long have you had it by now?
I've had it about a year and a half now. No, the handle hasn't slid off since, so perhaps the tab was knocked loose during shipping. Seems to be pretty firmly in place now. I use it mostly for grating firm to hard cheeses like Parmesan and Swiss. I also like it for slicing potatoes for chips, gratin, and hash browns. Suction cup still holds well. I did break off the clear plastic half-moon piece on the back of the feed chute (seen at 1:24 under the blade drum) trying to get in there to dry up some trapped water droplets. This "cap" isn't functional or necessary for the unit to work properly and, personally, I like it better without the piece because I was concerned the trapped moisture would eventually get mold/mildewy. Without it, water is free to drain from that area, and it can be air dried or dried with a towel. I like it a lot and find it a lot faster/safer than grating by hand. It's a breeze to wash. Do be careful with the blade drums because I "dented" one with a way too hard block of cheese, so it's not great for grating the hardest foods like whole nutmeg.
no w do you remove hopper from base of Avilo cutter and slicer UK
First, remove the handle and blade drum by pressing down and holding the green release button at the back of the handle and pulling the handle off the unit, as shown at 1:21. Then press down and hold the white release button shown at 0:21, while sliding the hopper forward until it detaches from the base.
Thanks
How does this hold up if you're trying to grate potatoes? I make both German and Russian style potato pancakes
I like using the slicing blade for potato chips, provided the potatoes are small. I find that the large grater cylinder works much better on potatoes than the small one (which tends to shred and mush it up too much). The large one makes 1-2 inch long shreds the width of linguine pasta.
Thanks!
Hmm aside from the green parts, the white since clear plastic pieces look weak. Anyone notice cracks or breakage after months of use?
I haven't had any of the main parts crack from use, but I did snap off the small clear cap at the back of the hopper, under where the handle connects, trying to get in there to dry some trapped water. Honestly not even sure why it was only partially sealed in the first place. I was worried the water in there would form mold, so it's actually better that there's no cap there now.
Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
May I ask if we can used this thing for papaya pickles? What is estimated length and with?
I think so. the strips cuts are about 2 inches (50mm) long, 1/4 inch (13mm) wide, and 1/16th inch (1.5mm) thick.
They should add more sizes for grating
Mine well not attach to my work surface surface any answers
It could be a couple things. If your work surface is not smooth, for example textured tile, natural wood (unvarnished), tile with grout lines, or slate, the suction cup will not attach to it. It works best on polished or glossy surfaces like granite, marble, polyurethane treated wood, melamine tables etc. If you are sure the surface should be compatible, check that there is no damage to the rubber of the suction cup like warping, nicks or tears, holes. When attaching the the surface, make sure the knob is in the unlocked position, press the suction cup down firmly, then turn the knob clockwise to lock (see 0:35).
thanks bro
I searched for tumbling box shredder and got multiple returns. Which model do you use?
Great review too.
Thanks! The one I got from Amazon is linked in the description, from a store called "Zacfton"
Thanks a lot.
Glad to help
Can i cut apple and mushrooms into slices with the machine as i m selling apple pie ? Thanks! Keep up the great review!
No, most apples are too large, you would have to cut them into wedges first and then you'd end up with quite small slices. Mushrooms should be okay.
Hi! Can it be used to crush tea leaves?
Hm, I don't know that dry ingredients will have enough mass to properly pass through the machine. I don't think they will have enough weight.
Does it work well for onions
While it can shred onions, the results will be inconsistent and a little bit messy. Because the onion already has rings and cross sections depending on how you cut the chucks to put in the hopper, what direction they are facing and which blade you use, you could either end up with lots of long shreds and tiny bits of mashed onion. I prefer to cut my onion by hand if I need consistently sized pieces for a recipe.
@byphil,
Is it working now?
Yes, I still use it a lot!
Just received this shredder but can’t get the top part off to wash it ,should it come off easy ? Love your videos by the way
To release the top part, press down on the release switch on the back, shown at 0:20, and slide it forward towards the front and it should detach from the base.
@@ReviewedByPhil many thanks 🙂
Hello,. Enough thin for potato chip???
Yes! I've made potato chips from slices from this rotary cutter and they come out great!
I don't see any link to the product
Hey there, it's in the bottom of the description, but you have to expand it on UA-cam to see it. Here's the link for reference: geni.us/Nhta [Amazon Affiliate Product Link]
how to sharpen the slicer drum when it is dull
I'm not sure is can be sharpened. I imagine you would simply replace the dull blade drums with new ones.
I just bought it new, but the slicer drum is dull
Nice n short video
can this grate raw papaya?
Sure, if it is firm. Once the papaya is soft is will just turn to mush in the grater.
Can We Slice onions in it
Sure but I imagine they will come out finely shredded/mushy. It's not great for making rings or long strips of onion.
Can i use it to a raw cassava?
Yes, it should be able to handle raw cassava.
Will it grate chunks of cabbage?
Yes, but you'll have to slice them down into pieces small enough to fit in the feed chute.
Yeah... experimented today... and you’re right.....
can this also work in ice for shakes😕😕😕
No, I don't believe the cutting blade drums can withstand the hardness of ice. I dented one on a very hard block of cheese once, although I was able to bend it back. I think ice would be too hard.
@@ReviewedByPhil nuts are harder than ice though & it can do nuts. (or at least I think nuts are harder but maybe I'm wrong 🤷♂️🤷♀️).
Thank you ..
You're welcome
Were the carrots you tried to shred cooked?
No, raw. I would think cooked carrots would simply just mash.
@@ReviewedByPhil the carrots you used did mash though.
@@HelloHello-hk4sx Haha, that's fair. I mean like a smoother mash, like mashed potatoes, had the carrots been cooked. The raw carrots I used ended up just really thin/short shreds that were very wet.
nice t-shirt
Hi can I slice onion
Yes, you would be able to use the long slicer blade on onions. I would not recommend the grater blades because they would pulverize the onion resulting in mush.
hi Ilive in jerusalem how can I get it please ansewer
You can try following the instructions in this article: borderoo.com/pages/how-to-get-amazon-shipped-to-east-jerusalem/ which explains how to order from Amazon but get your packaged shipped to Jerusalem.
Can I cut french fries with this machine?
No, it only shreds and slices like a cheese grater. You can make potato chips or hashbrowns but not french fries.
3 reasons why the carrots didn't work too well. 1, you cooked/heated them first so it got soggy. With slicers it's better to have dry or cold hard food. 2, you put a bunch of little carrots in there instead of one big carrot. It's easier to hold & control one vegetable at a time. & 3, the slicer is pretty cheap so can't expect too much.
Your review was fine, just saying why the carrots were harder to slice/shred. Use one long carrot at a time next time. 🙂👍
Great tips, thanks! As a point of clarification, the carrot was uncooked and only cut in half to make it shorter, not narrower, as they were already smaller than the opening of the feed chute (about 1/2 inch diameter at the thickest part of the carrot). I think part of it is that the the carrot can only be placed perpendicular to the blade drum and since the narrow end of the carrot has a small surface area, the shreds are already going to be quite short; plus if they don't grate across the whole surface you end up with lots of small bits and tiny shreds less then 1/2" long. Depending on how much moisture content there is in the carrot, when these small shreds are mixed with the juice it tends to clump up into a blob of mush. If you're only grating really fat carrots you would maybe get better results. With a flat cheese grater you usually grate the carrot on a diagonal across the bias to get long shreds.
@@ReviewedByPhil oohh!! Ok, thanx! 👍
Sakin almayın param onlara zıkkım olsun
This thing is a piece of shit. Don't waste your money. Mine broke 2nd time I used it. You have to press the vegetable into it for it to shred. If you have a harder vegetable the part where crank hooks to the drum breaks because it's obviously harder to rotate,, and you can kiss you shredder good bye. Waste of money. Good if you want to shred soft fruits. I'm so mad at this thing.
