Buying guide for the individually best model selection

To find the best model, these three questions should be answered individually before making a purchase decision:

a) What quantities of root vegetables are expected to be daily, weekly and long term with the radish cutter processed?

For large amounts of vegetables, working with the spiral cutter is clearly too exhausting. A tabletop machine also saves time and delivers an appealingly consistent result. However, if you only occasionally want to make a radiator like a beer garden as a spiral, you will make a good choice with the simple and effective spiral cutter.

For the use of a table-top machine, aside from the footprint, some space must also be taken for the preparation of the radishes and the placement of the ready-made strips / spirals. Also, the machine needs enough space when storing to the rear and above, so as not to damage the crank, knife and bearing surface.

c) Will the radish cutter used privately or commercially?
