Spent $45 on a spiralizer I used once, total waste of cabinet space

I bought one of those fancy spiralizers last spring thinking I'd make zucchini noodles every night. Used it once, the noodles came out mushy, and now it's been sitting in my bottom cabinet for 8 months. The dumb part is I could have just bought a $5 julienne peeler that does the same job with less cleanup. Is anyone else holding onto a single-use gadget they regret, or do you actually get good use out of yours?

Mine gets pulled out every couple weeks for actual squash noodles, but that's because I learned the trick is salting them first and not cooking them long at all. Maybe give it one more shot with that method before you toss it, or pass it to a friend who'll actually use it.
