The 3 Best Spiralizers of 2025

The sturdy, easy-to-assemble OXO Good Grips Tabletop Spiralizer outperformed every other manual model we tested, thanks to its thoughtful design and ease of use. Its sharp blades cut both firm and delicate vegetables with minimal effort, creating long, uniform noodles that didn’t break.

It was also the best at processing large and irregularly shaped items, like apples and sweet potatoes, without our having to cut them to fit in a food chute, like you would with our electric pick.

It includes the three most useful blades. The OXO spiralizer comes with a ⅛-inch spaghetti blade, a ¼-inch fettuccine blade, and a ribbon blade. The noodles are nicely sized—not so thick that they’re hard to eat, but not so thin that they’ll fall apart when cooked.

The sharp stainless steel blades make quick work of most vegetables. The OXO produced vegetable noodles faster and with less effort than other hand-crank models, even from hard, fibrous vegetables like beets.

Though we struggled a bit with super-firm butternut squash, we had no issues with apples, zucchini, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, or carrots, and we got the best results with produce between 1½ and 3½ inches in diameter. The food pusher has short plastic spikes that grab hold of your veggies or fruit, and they don’t let it go as you cut.

The suction is incredibly secure. Once the suction on the base is activated, using a small plastic lever, the machine won’t budge, no matter how vigorously you spiralize.

When it’s time to clean up, simply pull on the rubber tab to immediately release the suction. Other manual-crank machines we tested were either harder to release or easily lost their suction, making spiralizing challenging.

The blades fit neatly into the storage container. Each blade has a slot in the covered storage container, which is a safe and organized way to store them. The container even has perforations on the bottom to drain excess water after washing, and it can slot into the machine when it’s not in use.

Other models we tested had stray blade attachments that needed to be stored separately, which can be dangerous and dull the blades faster.

The blades clogged less than with other models. We didn’t have to pause to clear the OXO blades as often as we did with other models, though you’ll still want to give the blades a rinse during cutting, especially if you’re spiralizing several pounds of produce.

It’s backed by a lifetime warranty. As with most OXO products, the spiralizer is backed by the company’s Better Guarantee. If for some reason you aren’t happy with it, or the blades become dull, you can contact OXO at any time for repairs, replacements, or a refund.

It’s easy to operate without excessive force. To produce noodles using the manual OXO, you attach your fruit or vegetable to the food pusher, which has grippy teeth, and rotate a plastic handle while sliding it toward the blades.

The handle is comfortable to grip, slides smoothly, and doesn’t require a ton of strength, especially for softer produce like zucchini. Several of our paid testers with limited hand strength or dexterity preferred this OXO model over the electric pick, which required some strength to activate the safety lock.

How the OXO Good Grips Tabletop Spiralizer has held up

Senior editor Grant Clauser has been using this spiralizer regularly since 2016, and he says it’s still going strong, with no signs of wear.

He’s been especially impressed by how well it noodles butternut squash. Sometimes, though, he has to reset the suction mechanism a few times to get it to clamp down. But that didn’t stop him from getting this model as a gift for his mom.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

It’s tricky to clean. Though the OXO Good Grips Tabletop Spiralizer’s blades clogged less than those of other models during testing, like all spiralizers, it’s hard to clean. Crevices in the blade attachments are difficult to hand-wash. (Though most of the parts and blades are easy to disassemble and are dishwasher-safe, the blades will stay sharper if they’re washed by hand.)

It doesn’t have a reservoir to collect noodles, like our electric pick does. The blade slot is positioned lower on the OXO spiralizer than on other hand-crank models, so it’s easiest to deposit the veggie noodles onto a flat surface, like a cutting board or a baking sheet, rather than into a bowl. Some people may prefer the no-reservoir model, since there’s no need to stop and empty it mid-session.

It occasionally shredded the heel of the produce. A few times during testing, a fibrous or firm veggie, like a sweet potato, would stop turning against the blade while the spiked food pusher kept twisting.

This shredded the end of the vegetable, and the machine lost its grip. But it was easy enough to fix by cutting off the shredded end and reattaching the vegetable to the food pusher before continuing.

It can be tiring to use. While some paid testers preferred the manual OXO machine, others found it difficult to process more than a couple of vegetables at a time, including a tester with carpal tunnel syndrome whose thumb started to hurt after a short period of use.

The handle on the food pusher offers extra leverage, which is helpful, but some testers found that the joints on the handle (which folds for storage) made it harder to grip.
