Good Hand Held Spiralizer!

This was an absolutely amazing spiralizer! Previous to this, I had never used a spiralizer before, so this was a completely new experience for me. When I first began using this, I was a bit confused as to how to use it properly, because nothing was coming out right (I was trying to spiralize carrots). So I looked up instructional videos on youtube, and after watching a few of those, I started to get the hang of it. I don't really understand, even now, why it is designed like this: the design could be a lot simpler if you just had something going from the top to the bottom. Initially, for this reason and the fact that the blades are exposed, I had given this a 4 star review. But then, I looked around on amazon for other spiralizers, and I realized that literally everyone of them had the same design, so this must be how it's done!
