Review on 🥦 6-Blade Vegetable Slicer & Spiralizer by Paderno World Cuisine - Counter-Mounted, 6 Stainless Steel Blades Included by Brandi Mclaurin

I have a PhD so I'm no idiot but I couldn't get this thing to work. The way the veg sits on the gripper puts it ABOVE the cutter which means the veg has to keep rotating in the cutter so there are never long cuts just short little pieces that spit out. Also, my sweet potatoes kept falling out when I tried to turn them over. Really cheap plastic, not durable, I honestly don't understand how this thing gets such good reviews. I'm giving it two stars, not one, just in case there's something obvious that I'm kind of missing.
