Does this slice fruit? What is the difference between this "vegetable slicer" model B000LCP6EW and the mandolin slicer B0000VZ57C?

The vegetable slicer works best with vegetables, and it is best for salad making and using veggies no wider than 2.5 inches. Perhaps the mandolin slicer is wider. Barb

It slices fruit just ok. It is rather narrow and I would not purchase again. It is a bit flimsy. Very ordinary.

Also B0002IYI62 looks the same. Different colors. Different year models? I would like to know too. Check image 3 on: Benriner Japanese Mandolin Vegetable Slicer by Grunwerg It shows the lady with 2 slicers of different colors but appear to be the same size. Now check Benriner Wide-Body Large Slicer by Benriner The Benriner video at the 4th image shows 3 different slicers: Jumbo Benriner Super Benriner Benriner (the smallest)

I see no difference between the two models. Both are mandolin slicers, both cut vegetables and fruit.

Don't know... This one works well for small jobs. You need a bigger one to do french fries but not shoestrings.

Up to 1.5 inches it doesn't really help make thinner slices, which was the reason I bought it. I then bought a deli slicer knife that has an adjustable blade that can slice very thin slices. Neither one is as good as a machine of course. The deli slicer's blade is not as sharp though and the wooden one looks nicer if that matters to you.

It slices very thin -is perfect for making crisps. It will slice soft fruit and veg beautifully as the blade is very sharp.

This slicer comes with a 3.5mm and a 7mm julienne blade insert. Thank you for pointing out the error in the description, we will be sure to contact Amazon to get that corrected!

I preferred the slicer that wasn't adjustable as this one tends to move thickness whilst in use as there is no locking mechanism. The non adjustable is the same brand, make sure you get the thin slicer and yes it will do your job I use mine all the time I love it!

This one will slice it. I bought this one for myself and I also replace my moms. Her old one was a peel away brand. It also slices but it is a much better peeler than this one.

I don't think it slices because it only had one blade. It will shred lettuce and cabbage very nicely. Check to see if you can purchase additional blades for additional slicing Otherwise, it's ,neat, fast, easy to clean, DW safe and tub is a good size.

I'm sorry, I don't know for sure. I am still using and enjoying this slicer.

I have not sliced citrus fruits with my mandolin. Slicing some heavy rind fruits should work, though it may dull the blade if used for this frequently.

This is a great chopper for uncooked veggies. Do bear in mind that it chops these foods into small chunks and the more times you pull the string the finer the chunks become. If you are wanting a shred or thin slices like for scalloped potatoes, etc., this is not the right machine. But if you're looking for "chopped", this is the one.

This was a gift to my nice and the only comment was that she liked it. She had, on her Amazon wish list, chosen a different mandolin, which was not available which led to choose this model. I might suggest that you contact the manufacturer and seek a answer to your specific requirements.

When I purchased mine about 5 years ago it only came in red, or at least that's the only option that was available at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, but I assume from the product description that it is the same mandoline with the added option of being offered in 3 colors. Anybody out there with a blue or yellow one?

the only vegetable i have ever used was potatoes, i have loosened the spiral blade and used the peeler part only to make hash brown potatoes. my brother in-law peels and slices potatoes and fries the core part along with the slices when i do pears, the firm ones work best as the more ripe tend to not hold onto the prongs, so i guess that you cant slice and peel ripe tomatoes

No... it just slices... but is great for three different thicknesses of slice ... saves me incredible time in the kitchen making salads... and is worth every penny!

I have no idea and can't check because the slicer is at our other house. Sorry but next time I'm at the other house I will check. If you don't have the printed manual you may be able to find it online through the manufacturer.

With the different blades, you get different types of cuts- also I think it's much safer than my mandolin. With a food processor, you don't get the long noodle like cuts as you do with the spirializer. I have all three but am using the spirializer most often.

This vegetable slicer is small, very portable and very easy to use and clean. The Mandolin slices vegetables in flat, thin wide slices, which the Tri-blade does too, but I love the spaghetti shape noodles that it makes. We now eat more zucchini because it just so much fun. I don't have a Mandolin so I can't compare. But I use The Tri-blade a lot .
