Is it capable to do a large amt. of shredding cabbage without burning out.
292
I have owned this unit for about 2 years. It is a workhorse. Quiet and efficient. I use it to process cabbage for sauerkraut. Usually 10 to 15 heads at a time. This is a very fast processor. I would purchase it again.

I generally make a slaw out of a full head of both white and red cabbage as well as carrots, radishes, green onions and daikon (a japanese radish). I alternate items to simplify the mixing step and I need to process several large bowls to accommodate the total volume. The machine has no problem with large quantity shredding.

I dont think there is anything that it cant handle. I have the larger one with a 14 cup capacity. We use it to prepare for large groups quite often. Cabage, potatoes, blocks of cheese...
295
It certainly can! As long as you don't exceed the bowl capacity it will do great.
296
A resounding Yes! As long as you don't exceed capacity of the bowl sizes, cabbage will be an easy job.
297
Should not be a problem at all. This thing is built like a tank. As mentioned before, don't exceed bowl capacity.

Answer by S Bryson is spot-on....the shredding blade is great for hash browns, shredded cheese, carrots etc... the slicing blade is great for fried potatoes, sliced veggies (hard ones) not so much for soft ones like tomatoes.... we use this blade for making sauerkraut..it just blasts through a ton of cabbage in short order......the dough blade is great for kneading bread or mixing the lightest scone batter....the metal blade can chop nuts by pulsing, or make nut butters by constant running.....we are very pleased with out Cuisinart. I have had three and each one was bigger than the last..AND they all still work....play with it and enjoy!!

I have not tested that. The longest I have used it for is maybe 15-20 minutes. But that's not 100% shredding the whole time.

Not sure, but I have sat there and shredded 4 inch stacks of paper for about 20 minutes before. The machine will get warm and be prepared to empty the bucket frequently. Also, it shreds in long strips ( only vertical cutting) and had a tendency to get jammed if you put on to much paper. Works great for my needs though

I guess it will. I use it for shredding cabbage regularly. I like the shred thickness adjustment feature that is very easy to use.

It can continuously shred paper for 10 mins straight. However, if you do it at a more moderate pace it won't overheat that qucikly.

just oil the cutting blades about every 1/2 hour when using for a long period of time otherwise no maintenance. happy shredding

I would not recommend this chipper for shredding anything. There are other machines that are better shredders. You might look at something advertised as a 'leaf shredder' rather than this type of 'chipper.'

We have this model and shred with light to moderate usage - 100-200 pages daily. Have not experienced a problem in a several months we owned it.

I haven't tried cabbage yet. It does a great job on shredding carrots, slicing peeled cucumbers, and shredding frozen green peppers. I definitely like mine.

ditto those answers, it nearly shreds the fruit if you want to. I love it and now that I've moved abroad I need to get one in a 220v I like it that much

If the piece of cabbage is small enough to fit into the hopper, it will shred cabbage easily.

I think so. It's not battery powered, it needs to be plugged in. So it shouldn't run out of juice in the middle of your project. If you're worried about the motor burning out for such a big project, I would seriously doubt that. Use a coarse-grit sanding belt and it will take less work from the motor. My carpenter friend has had his sander (same brand/model) for years and it's still going strong.

i have purchased for my wife. She really loves it. She is really using it often. She told me purchase another two to give gift to her sisters and I did. I will let you know about cabbage. But she is using it to cut beetroot and carrot.

I used it for an extended period of time, shredding 3 sheets at a time and pausing briefly in between . I paused for five to ten minutes every half hour or so, to let it cool down. Do oil the blades with vegetable oil before starting a major project. It was time consuming as I went slowly and do not let the shredder over heat.

Yes it can, but you would have to cut the cabbage to fit the feed to the shredding cone, about 2 inches x 2 inches (estimate)

It shreds big and small. Does waffle fry style cuts and regular fry cuts. It does not dice. You would have to have a chopper to do something like that. I love this machine as it does cut my time in half.
