Mine is similar, although yours has a clever design to stow and store the blades that mine annoyingly does not. 

wow. How big is that? 

Liv, when it's closed up it's about 5" high by 8" long by 4" wide. 

I may have to look for one 

And it's working great as I look at your veggies! I had one but it didn't really work. Now I know what to look for here in Belgium haha, thank you. Sorry, my English is not perfect, my native language is Dutch and I learned other languages through self-education. 

Aliana, I did a great deal of research before buying one and Paderno was the most recommended brand. As for your English, please don't apologize, I am always impressed with you Europeans and your multiple languages. I speak only English (or American 😁) and a few phrases of French. I once knew a lady who taught herself Mandarin! 🌈🌈🌈 

Found one, ordered one!😘 As for languages...through the ages untill our independence in 1830, the parts of our tiny country Belgium are glued and divided. Now we are a complex kingdom with a French and a Flemish part (Dutch-speaking), and a little part where they speak German. Therefore kids have to learn all 3 national languages at school. There above, in secundary school they also learn English. I had to leave school at the age of 13 to get a job. When my daughters went to school, I used their books and homework to study.🙂 25 years ago, our oldest daughter (we have 2) asked me to join her for a course of Japanese in evening school, I did it for fun! After 2 years, our teacher got our daughter an au-pair job in Osaka. The ball went rolling...Japanese friends came to study in Europe and stayed in our home. One day, they went to a little Japanese restaurant and wanted to take a picture of the group. There was a young man sitting in the way. Our daughter asked him very polite in her best Japanese to please take the picture...and that is why I now still try to improve my Japanese...since 2007, our daughter, our Japanese son-in-law and our 2 granddaughters live in Tokyo!!  

This looks like the Mercedes of spiralizers—it’s beautiful! 😊👍🏻🥰 

Thank you Laraae, I like it in red, no stains from carrots and beets. 💛💚💜 

Aliana, although my family was bilingual, and I took 2 years of French in high school, it never did really "stick." I'm much more of a numbers person. What a romantic story about your daughter! 🌈 🌈🌈 

well Shirfleur...same as you...a numbers person haha. Although I tried to learn French, I still have trouble with it! English works out fine, and even Japanese seems to be easier than French😁.
