How the Five Compare on the Numbers
The height fields on these five read 0.75, 2.9, 3.35, 8.25 and 11.02 in. That is not a range of similar products. It is the difference between a lid, an attachment, a handheld cutter and two counter machines with cranks, and a cabinet with a low shelf will take three of them and refuse two.
There is a second finding behind the first. Not one of these five listings writes an overall size into a sentence. Every figure below comes from a dimension field, with no maker’s words to check it against, which is unusual across this site and worth knowing before a figure is trusted to a quarter of an inch.
What the table cannot settle is what any of these measures once it is put away. Two listings describe a smaller packed state in words and neither gives it a figure, so the 8.25 in and 11.02 in in the height row are the machines in use, standing on their feet, with nothing published for the state a cabinet actually sees.
The Two Machines That Stand Up
SUSTEAS Publishes the Storage Sentence
SUSTEAS has the largest height field here, 11.02 in, and the only storage claim that names the furniture. Its bullet states that the entire set can be stored as a compact whole that fits easily into cabinets or drawers, with one blade preinstalled on the holder and two more kept in built in compartments inside the body. Nothing is loose and nothing is left over.
It is also the best documented machine on the page in every respect except its size. Five stainless blades with widths published as 5/64, 1/8, 3/16 and 7/32 inch plus a ribbon slicer, a suction base engaged by turning a switch counterclockwise, and a washing rule with a ceiling: parts on the top rack, the body by hand, nothing above 158 degrees F. At 2.54 lb it is the heaviest of the five.
OXO Publishes the Folding Part Instead
OXO is 8.25 in on its height field with a different approach to the same problem. Its side handle, the one that pushes food through the blade, folds up for compact storage, and its removable blade box stores onboard so the blades are not in a drawer with the knives. The suction cup holds it still while it is in use.
What it does not do is tell you how much folding the handle saves. The published height is the machine as it sits, and the folded figure is not published anywhere in the listing. It publishes two blade widths, a spaghetti cut at 1/8 inch and a fettuccine cut at 1/4 inch, plus a ribbon cut, and it says nothing about a dishwasher at all.
The Three That Are Not Machines
An Attachment and a Lid
KitchenAid publishes 2.9 in on its height field because there is no frame, no suction cup and no crank: the motor is the stand mixer, which the listing states is sold separately. The attachment and its accessories fit inside their own storage case, which is the cleanest storage answer here and the only one that depends on owning a second appliance.
Jarware goes further and removes the machine entirely. It is a stainless steel lid with three blades that screws onto a wide mouth jar using the ring you already own, published at 3.25 by 3.25 by 0.75 in. The jar catches the noodles and then stores them. It weighs 1.04 lb, which is more than the handheld cutter on this page weighs.
The Handheld That Fits Any Drawer
SUREWIN publishes 3.74 by 3.35 by 3.35 in and 0.48 lb, the lightest of the five, and describes itself as pocket sized and small enough to store anywhere in the kitchen. Three cutting modes are selected by turning a knob, the barrel is open for long round vegetables, and the whole thing comes apart to be rinsed under running water.
The trade is control. Nothing holds it to the counter, so the vegetable is turned against the blade by hand, with a non slip cover supplied to go over the blade when it is not in use. It publishes three noodle sizes and no widths for any of them, which is the pattern on this page: the small tools publish counts, the large ones publish figures.
What the Pool Is Not
Two Tools That Only Look Like Spiralizers
The pool holds a julienne peeler published at 2.0 by 7.0 by 0.5 in and 0.1 lb, and a flower curler published at 3 by 2 inches whose own bullet says it fits easily into small drawers. Both would win a shallow cabinet page on figures alone. Neither makes a spiral noodle: one cuts straight strips and one carves a rose garnish.
The flower curler is the more interesting exclusion, because it publishes the storage claim this page is looking for and states its size in its own words, which none of the five picks does. It is left out because the page is about turning a vegetable into noodles, and a tool that makes decorative shavings answers a different question.
Height Is Published, Packed Height Is Not
Across the whole pool the pattern holds: a tabletop spiralizer publishes the height of a machine standing ready, and the figure a cabinet needs is the height of a machine collapsed. The two listings that describe a collapsed state describe it in words. Nobody measures it.
That is why this page ranks on the published height and then says plainly what each maker claims on top of it. A reader with a 6 in shelf gap cannot buy the 8.25 in OXO on the strength of a folding handle, because the listing never says how far it folds. A reader with a 4 in gap has three picks here that fit without any claim at all.
Which One Fits Your Kitchen
A cabinet that takes the whole set. SUSTEAS, 8.27 x 5.31 x 11.02 in and 2.54 lb, with five blades at 5/64, 1/8, 3/16 and 7/32 inch, a suction base, and the only bullet here that states the set stores as one compact whole in a cabinet or drawer.
A gap the handle can make. OXO, 9.75 x 6.25 x 8.25 in and 1.5 lb, with a side handle that folds up, a blade box that stores onboard, a suction cup and two published blade widths at 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch.
A stand mixer already on the counter. KitchenAid, 12.4 x 5.8 x 2.9 in and 2.2 lb, five quick change blades including an optional peeler, a storage case the parts fit inside, and a mixer stated to be sold separately.
One vegetable and one drawer. SUREWIN, 3.74 x 3.35 x 3.35 in and 0.48 lb, three modes on a knob, a blade cover for storage, and a body that comes apart to rinse under the tap.
A jar instead of a machine. Jarware, a stainless lid at 3.25 x 3.25 x 0.75 in and 1.04 lb with three blades and a cap, screwing onto a wide mouth jar with 16 oz recommended, none of which is included.
What We Could Not Verify
Every figure above comes from the maker’s own listing text. These are the things we went looking for and could not source in any of them.
- Not one of the five publishes an overall size in the maker’s own words, so every figure here is an uncorroborated field.
- No listing publishes a folded or packed height, including the two that describe one.
- No listing publishes the size of the storage case or blade box it supplies.
- KitchenAid publishes no blade widths, only the words medium and fine.
- Jarware publishes no height for the jar its lid has to sit on.
- Two of the five publish nothing at all about washing.
