Presto Electric Slicer/shredder, White

Absolute Fraud and Amazon keeps promoting them and periodically removes bad reviews

I bought the Presto Professional SaladShooter in January, 2010, and it still looks and works like new. At the time, I also purchased 2 more cones that offered additional slicing and shredding sizes. I have used this SaladShooter often in the last 5 years, primarily for shredding large quantities of cheese that I freeze for later use. Although my primary use is to shred cheese, I have also used it to shred cooked potatoes for hash browns and for slicing vegetables. It has done a wonderful job on everything I have used it for. I have found it very easy to clean, but I have always washed the parts by hand. The cutting cones come out, and can easily be washed and dried. The chute unit comes off of the base for easy cleaning. A couple of the reviews have mentioned that food is caught outside of the cutting cones, and also gets stuck in crevices. I am a bit of a kitchen appliance junkie and have a few appliances that can be used for slicing, shredding, etc. including the attachments for the Kitchen Aid mixer, a Cuisanart food processor, and a couple of Ninja Kitchen Systems. Some use the cones as this one does, and some use blade discs. I have found that every single one of them leaves some chunks of food that isn't processed with the rest, and the blade systems generally have food sitting on top of the blade that isn't processed. Let's face it - even with a hand shredder you end up with a piece that can't be shredded unless you want to add a portion of your fingers to the food. All things considered, the Presto SaladShooter can do anything that the larger processors can do, but takes much less storage space. Since it is a smaller, hand-held unit, you will be more likely to use it more often than a larger, heavier unit that has to be moved from the back of a cabinet. UPDATE 12/02/16 I have had this Presto SaladShooter for almost 7 years, and it's still going strong. Of the many appliances I have, the SaladShooter does the best job of shredding cheese with the least waste. UPDATE 08/04/25: At this point in time, I have had this Presto SaladShooter for 15 years, and it still works as well as the day I bought it. The one I have is in white and is the same model as shown on this page. I still use it for shredding and slicing a number of veggies, potatoes, and cheese. Since it is so easy to clean, I just wash it by hand. Really, how many appliances sold today last and still work for 15 years!! I do have a couple of large food processors that I use when processing large batches, but this is my go-to appliance whenever I have a smaller amount of food to process. I hope this review was helpful for you.

This product is for 120 voltage AC but in the UK we have 220 voltage AC so it is useless for UK customers

We bought this for our catering company and it gets used many many times per day, everyday. There has been absolutely no issues with dullness, breaking, motor not keeping up. We've had it for over 2 years now and it just keeps on going without fault. It's so easy to take apart and clean. I bought 2 more, 1 for myself and 1 for my daughter-in-law.
