What's the best spiralizer for making veggie noodles like zoodles?

Do you guys make them by hand or use a spiralizer? If so, what’s the best one? Do any of them allow you to make really thin zoodles - similar to angel hair?

I use a small hand one from Wegmans. If I ate these more often I would get a better one.

If I were doing that, I’d use my benriner. It’s more utilitarian than a spiralizer, and has blades that will produce thin noodles.

I’m not a big veg eater, but wife was good with using a vegetable peeler to make thin, flat, broad noodles. If we wanted to make something more like spaghetti or angel hair, we’d use a chef’s knife to cut them thinner.

At some point in thinness, the “zoodles” will probably lose their structural integrity. Angel hair may not be achievable in a useful format. No gluten, no spring, no tensile strength at that level of thinness.

I use the attachment to our Cuisinart Mixer. It was a bit expensive, but has lasted far longer than any other we tried.

It’s a great tool. Even have the meat grinder to make my own ground meats and sausage!

Mine does great thin zoodles and is easy to use, clean up and store. Similar to the one Michelle mentioned but not as expensive.

I was looking at julienne peelers. i think they would be an inexpensive way to do zucchini noodles.
