Does it slice (like zucchini & cucumbers)? Does it shred (like lettuce & cabbage)? Thank you.

It doesn't slice. But is a great chopper and mincer. I am very happy with the appliance, in fact I am using my second 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.

No. There are no attachments. It is an oversized mini chopper. Onions,garlic, cheeses etc. the only way to control the size of the mincing is to pulse it less. This machine is all plastic. I returned it.

Absolutely. We use it to shred carrots and cabbage for coleslaw, but if you use the larger slicing disc, it would be great for chopping veggies for soup, etc.This is a great product. We purchased it a year ago and it still works like new :)

I am not sure as I have never tried to shred beets, but I assume it would as I have shredded carrots and apples. I hope this helps.

It does! We slice pickles, potatoes, roasts, and cheese. It all turns out fine. I read in another review to just take it slow and I have to agree. It's not an industrial slicer that can whip right through things, but for home use, a steady pace does the job well.

Yes, it will shred cabbage as long as your chunks fit down the input chute. I haven't done much cheese with it. As long as you don't force the feed too hard and bind up the blade, it does fine.

I don't use it much at all anymore. Got it out the other day and replaced it with my Mac santoku which I love. It does slice well, but I'm not really pleased with it. I don't know if it would work on harder veggies, I also use a Forschner 8" chef's knife for harder things, seems more sturdy.

This is an awesome shredder. It does not slice. If you like hash browns this would be good for making them.

The best tool for shredding cabbage is a sharp, large knife. Just cut it in half or quarters first so it sits flat. Fast and fun and you can go fine or wide as you wish.

YES it will shred it, However, you must load the machine lightly with live tree branches, plants, brush and or fruits or it will clog. Each year, I shred whatever is left in the garden (tomatos, onions, and other foods) and it is ripped/shredded. I normally wait till these items die before shredding these items because the machine then gets all wet inside which helps rust to take hold and i want the machine to last longer. So I usually wait till things are dried up and dead before i shred them. Remember you cannot clean or dry the inside of the machine so its always best to shred dry/dead items. I have also shredded 4 inch 2x4 pieces and it chops them up also but beware if you do that because it will spit pieces out.

No, it won't slice meat very long. I stripped the drive gears during the 4th time I used it. Gears are plastic. It never saw hard use. Don't waste your money.

It does veggies pretty well but it doesn't do hard cheeses very well my husband almost broke it pressing too hard in the blade. I would give it a 6 out of 10 for the shredding of hard cheese but veggies it's great!

I haven't been able to shred cheese, but it will chop it very fine. I use a mandolin slicer with a cheese shredder attachment. I did not receive a snap on cheese shredder with mine.

Yes. There is a separate blade that be changed and used to shred cabbage, sprouts, onions, even zucchini. Quite easy to change once you've done it a few times."

It can shred and slice almost anything, but it does not dice. To achieve the dice effect I used the slicer cup (thick) and make vertical cuts in the onion, since the slicer is horizontal the result then ends up diced. But, if you are looking for large dice, the answer will be NO.

I've only used a few times for zucchini. I think a food processor would chop it more. I think of a mandolin for slices. This spiralizer give you noodles, long noodles. Really cool. Kind of vague, hope this helps.

It does cut cheese. It slices hard type cheese, such as Gruyere, very well.

The slicer shredder has a much bigger cup capasity and runs on the lower rpm motor. Its perfect for slicing cheese without tearing it to bits. The slicer shredder also comes with an extra blade for French fries. If you make a few cuts in your potatoes and then run it through the slicer it will also cube your food for you. The food processor is smaller and runs on the higher rpm motor where your blender runs. Its good for veggies and very hard meats. I tried slicing pepperoni and cheese in the food processor. It did slice it but it also tore much of it to bits and i didnt like that much waste. Its perfect for say casseroles and salsas or other foods that won't be on display and has to be perfect. I use the slicer shredder for making meat trays and foods that i need to look a certain way and can't use if its deformed. They are bth very useful and important in their own way. I hope this helped you
