Use a hand held spiralizer
A hand held spiralizer is my second favorite method. This is the one I have. It’s even more like a giant pencil sharpener; you twist the zucchini into it and zoodles come out the other end. You have to use some force but it’s really not to bad once you get into the rhythm of it.
You can’t beat this one for storage space. It fits neatly in a drawer next to your peeler for potatoes.
The Kuhn Rikon handheld one that I have is $17-20, but there are other handheld ones on the market that are cheaper, like this Veggetti one ($8) or this Oxo Grips one ($15). They all have pretty good reviews.

Use a box cheese grater
Finally, you can even use a box grater to make zoodles. Grate it lengthwise, aiming to create the longest possible strands. These “noodles” will be extremely thin and will discharge a large amount of water. Before sautéing, I would try to squeeze some of the water out in a paper towel. Grated zoodles are almost never al dente, so this is not my preferred method.
