Presto 02910 Salad Shooter Electric Slicer/Shredder

Absolutely LOVE my salad shooter! My family has given me crap about it for years about it. I ordered them all one for Christmas. Now they question their life choices by not having one all these years! Easy to use, easy to clean, and works great! Fresh shredded cheese is the BEST!

This was a wedding shower gift so I can't review this particular one. However, I've had a salad shooter since they were the new kid on the block and absolutely love it. They have upgraded the look of the body but the cones are the same. It comes with 2 cones, a medium shredder and a slicer. You can find additional cones for purchase so I added 2 extra cones to the gift, both fine shred and large shred. I wish there was a thicker cut slicing cone but so far I haven't found one. My mother slices a lot of her veggies for vegetable soup with this versatile appliance, while I primarily shred cheese and carrots. When it comes to cleaning, an old toothbrush is your friend, cleaning the holes in the cone without shredding your sponge or cloth. The faster you wash the parts, the easier to clean. Cheese can be tough but if you rinse in hot water first, it seems to melt away. Do not leave the cones sitting in very soapy and hot water for an extended period of time. I learned this the hard way. Other than the cutting surface and the motor, this is primarily plastic. Eventually, it gets brittle but it takes a long time. Mine is yellowing somewhat, and the cord is getting stiff. I lost cones because I soaked them, over and over, and it shortened their shelf life. It's a real work horse. I can shred massive amounts of zucchini, carrots and cheese quickly and efficiently, wash up in about 5 minutes and move on. I can't live without mine. It makes food prep much easier.

I have wanted a Salad Shooter for a long time. A number of years ago, I bought a Cuisinart appliance to do whatever a Salad Shooter could do. It was a terrible machine that was way underpowered and failed at even the simplest chores. I thought it was my machine, but the replacement was the same. This machine does a great job of shredding cheese, carrot and cabbage. I'm sure it will be perfect for potatoes and cucumbers too. It too feels a bit underpowered and that's the reason I deducted a point. Also, I find the chute quite small. I know there is another model with a bigger chute, but I think this one should have a larger opening too. I like that the machine is light and simple to dismantle for cleaning. Cleaning takes just a minute and that makes it much more likely that I'll grab it when I need to get a small job done. I find that taking out the food processor seems like a big ordeal, but setting up the Presto Salad Shooter is not. It's also fun to use and to see the chopped vegetables emerging. January 2017. I initially gave this 4 stars but I use it almost every day and it works just like it should, I have increased it to 5 stars. Mostly, I shred cheese. Occasionally, I shred carrots, potatoes or beets, shave chocolate or chop nuts. It is not the most powerful device but it does what I need it to do. I recently bought a full set of cones for different shreds and slices and a professional model as a gift for my mom. I wish I had bought the professional model myself which is a bit bigger and has larger cones and shoot, but I didn't realize it would be something I would use so much.

Great

This just died after 5 years of use. I actually loved this because of its compact size and ease of use. But it struggled with cheddar cheese which was the main thing I bought it for. After a few cubes the cheese would gum up inside the grater and I would have to take it apart and clean it. I just read an article on line that said to put the cheese in the freezer for half an hour and spray the blade with salad oil. This might have been fine but I left the cheese in the freezer too long and it was frozen solid. I did not get through the first block. The stress was too great. Something cracked and now it makes a horrible noise. It already had a crack in the frame which was not affecting its performance. I have ordered a new and more powerful grater but this one would have lasted longer if I had not overworked it. Cheddar was the only thing it struggled with.

This is my 3rd Salad Shooter. I bought my first one 30ish years ago! The motors go forever but alas, the plastic parts eventually wear out. I use this for shredding most often and it makes short work of hashbrowns and piles of cheese. Worth every penny.

I’ve only had it a few weeks, but I already LOVE THIS electric shredder! I’ve been shredding my own cheese using a handheld crank shredder for years that was really difficult to use and finally got fed up with it. After reading lots of reviews, I went with the Salad Shooter and so far I’m not disappointed! It’s small enough to easily fit in the drawer, but has had no trouble shredding many types of block cheese Ive put through it. It’s very easy to disassemble, clean and reassemble. The mandolin blade has been great for slicing small potatoes, too. My only complaint is that I wish it came with a grater blade in addition to the shredder and mandolin blades. I shred a LOT of cheese, and thing has already made my life easier!

If you need the ease of an electric slicer and shredder for vegetables, cheeses, or salad prep, this is perfect. Simply put on the attachments included, plug it in and you are ready to go. It is easy to clean up, durable, safe, and easy to store when you are done. It is a huge help when preparing meals.

Unfortunately this comes with a plug that isn’t compatible with the UK. I didn’t realise this until I’d started using it and there was a smell of burning within seconds. Adaptors cost around £25!

Me gusta que puedo rayar queso o rebanar la verdura sin perder tiempo!! Es fácil de usar y muy práctico!!

Love this and is a must have in my kitchen. I recommend to everyone to get one. Although it is called a salad shooter I haven't tried it with vegetables. I use it as a cheese shredder. I buy blocks of cheese when they are on sale and shred myself. Fast and easy! If you let the extra cheese dry on without washing it is a bit hard to clean. If I am unable to wash it right away I put it in a container and fill with very hot water. Melts away and ready to be washed when I have time.

Ya tenia mucho tiempo buscándolo es muy útil práctico y de fácil manejo, estoy feliz con mi rallador de queso.

This product conforms to United States of America's electric standards viz., 120 VOLTS , 0.55 AMP, 66 WATT. So, be careful while using in India, use adapter/step down transformer. DO NOT PLUG DIRECTLY INTO INDIAN MAIN ELECTRIC SUPPLY. The chute area is not enough, it can't accommodate even one bigger carrot/celery, have to slice it into two or three. Good for one or two kilo moderate quantity, not suitable for heavy duty. Rest is fine. The plastic is of good quality, logistic team efforts are laudable for their packaging standards.
