Alright!
This is John Kohler with discountjuicers.com.
Today we have another exciting episode for you.
Now besides just selling the juicers, discountjuicers.com also offers appliances that allows you to
get more fresh fruits and fresh vegetables into your diet such as the one I’m gonna
talk about today.
What I have here in front of me are what are called spiral slicers.
These particularly are known as the 3 in 1 turning slicer formerly known as the spirooli.
Now the problem we have here today is that I’ve recently learned that there are actually
counterfeit 3 in 1 turning slicers that are now appearing on the market.
Other companies, other websites, may be offering these cheap imitation models that are not
the same high quality units as the original 3 in 1 turning slicer we offer at discountjuicers.com.
In front of me here I have 4 different turning slicers and guess what only 1 is the original
and there are 3 knock offs.
So in this video, what I intend to show you guys is actually the differences between the
knock off and the real one so that you’ll know for sure you’re gonna get the right
one the first time.
You know how to identify the counterfeits and to know why you shouldn’t you know buy
the counterfeit and some of the problems that may arise with it.
So let’s go ahead and first show you guys the real one.
Alright is the real one this one yes or no what do you think?
We’re taking bets here.
Is the real one this one?
Might be.
Is the real one this one?
Who knows.
Is the real one that one?
Mhmm.
Not too sure.
Well, if you said the real one’s this one you’d absolutely be right.
This is the legitimate 3 in 1 turning slicer.
The others are all counterfeits and let’s go one by one and share with you guys the
counterfeits and some of the problems they’ve actually been having.
So one of the ways you’ll know the machine is counterfeit or not is actually by looking
at the machine.
The real machine here is actually a nice white plastic.
It’s actually fairly white.
If you look at this other one closely it’s kind of white but it has like a blue tinge
to it.
Maybe a gray tinge depending if you’re colorblind or not.
The other thing I wanna point out on the counterfeit unit is you could see here it’s like duct
tape on here.
One of the common problems that happens actually with all these counterfeit units is the handle
breaks.
So they actually have to tape it and that’s what they’ve done actually on this unit.
And on this unit here the handle actually just broke off and it doesn’t even have
a handle on it now.
And finally on this unit here it once again has some duct tape on here.
So this counterfeit because of the inferior plastic, inferior you know screws and all
that kind of stuff it is more prone to breaking.
So what fun is it to buy an appliance and then have it to break.
You know I mean if you’re paying less money there’s a reason why you’re paying less
for it and you know generally remember you guys get what you pay for.
Buy the real unit at discountjuicers.com and be assured you’re gonna get the right original
3 in 1 turning slicer that’s gonna work for you for many years.
Another way you can tell if it’s a original or fake is look at the little bottom here
and if you see the screws on the bottom on the knock off they’re actually rusting.
The screws on the original one are not rusting so this is more prone to rust.
That’s not too good in my opinion.
Now these 3 in1 turning slicers have 3 different unique style cuts.
And you have one blade stored in the machine itself and 2 blades down below.
Now when you get the knock off let me show you guys what happens.
You just tip the unit up and instead of the blades locking into place like it should they
fall out.
And that’s you know just just the quality.
The knock offs are not as high a quality.
Say we go over here to the real one right.
Turn this down.
It doesn’t fall off.
They're actually in place and really stable.
The next thing I wanna do is actually show you guys the different blades on the machine.
Now there are 3 different blades.
We got one blade installed in the machine.
This is actually known as a 3 millimeter slicing blade.
It’ll make little noodle like shapes out of things like zucchini and english cucumbers.
Now the 3 millimeter shape is kind of like the size I would equate to maybe a standard
spaghetti pasta noodle.
There are other spiral slicers that make like a 1.5 millimeter noodle out of zucchini and
once again this is used uncooked and raw.
So you literally just put a fresh zucchini, slice it up and make these long noodles that
you can then make a marinara sauce, and I recommend using a blender, with some sun-dried
tomatoes some fresh tomatoes some Italian seasoning may some peppers in there, to make
it a delicious sauce to pour over your zucchini noodles that are made with the 3 in 1 turning
slicer.
So this is the 3 millimeter cut.
In addition you get 2 more blades that are easily stored in here that we’re gonna go
ahead and just slide out there.
You get the standard spiral cut.
So the spiral cut is really good for making things like spiral discs out of things like
english cucumbers even zucchinis things like that.
You could actually slice apples in this as well.
It’s just gonna make standard slices in kind of like curly cues is what I like to
say or a long ribbon.
It’s great to do this out of beets.
They can turn into a nice little ribbon that can be excellent garnish for garnishing things
like salads.
And besides that blade there’s the final blade here that we’re gonna go ahead and
pull out.
And I like that these you know store in there for easy and convenient use.
This is the 6 millimeter blade.
What this does it makes a lot fatter noodle and I would consider this kind of like a linguini
or fettuccine style noodle.
This is a fatter noodle.
It’s a lot thicker.
I personally prefer the smaller noodle but you know some people may prefer the thicker
noodle.
So you have 3 different options when using the slicer.
This very slicer has been featured on the Dr. Oz show and Dr. Oz you know promoted this
product so that you can eat more.
Once again eating your vegetables instead of like highly processed pasta that you actually
have to heat up that’s very low in nutrient density.
The zucchini that you would spiralize in this is very high in water content also much higher
in nutrients and lower in calories than the standard spaghetti or pasta that you would
normally buy.
The last thing I wanna do is I wanna show you guys a few more ways to determine if you
actually get the knock off machine or the real one.
The first way is actually to look at the shape of the little blade inserts here.
Let’s go ahead and bring these guys out for you guys.
On the blade inserts I want you guys to look at this really closely.
The real blade insert actually has like a nice like almost half circle and the imitation
ones don’t quite have as much a protrusion.
This is the protrusion that makes it easy to pull out and easier to handle whereas this
one doesn’t have quite a good handle to get as good leverage on it.
In addition the quality of the blade actually may in fact also be different.
You know I don’t know there’s the sharpness exactly and I’m not gonna say one is sharper
than the other but maybe.
You know the knock off machines the plastic’s not as good the handle’s break.
You know just comes to think that the blades aren’t gonna be durable either.
Another thing you’ll notice if you do have the real unit, it’ll actually say push right
here on the back side of where the blades snap into.
On the knock off unit here it does not say push on it.
In addition you know to me this plastic just seems a lot more chintzier and not quite as
strong.
The rubber feet on the imitation unit are you know not maybe as grippy as the ones here.
They definitely look flawed down here.
And finally on the real unit you’ll notice it says on the bottom it’s gonna say HKREG#
AUREG# UKREG# JPREG# DEREG# ITREG#, like embossed on the bottom.
That’s definitely another way you’ll know that you got the real machine and not the
knock off.
At this time I could only recommend you guys get the real machine and not the knock off.
Once again you get what you pay for.
You wanna spend a good amount and get a machine that’s gonna work durably for you for years
instead of break the handle and then guess what the company’s not even around to send
you the part cause they’re a fly by night company.
Just copying these, selling them for lower price, ripping them out, and then they’ll
probably get out of the market.
So rest assured if you’re buying the 3 in1 turning slicer at discountjuicers.com you
will get the original.
It should work for you for many years.
