Does this spiral slicer work with any other veggies (or fruits) besides carrots and zucchinis?

No, instead of making individual noodles with firmer vegitables, it makes a flat sheet that is scored and is not easy to pull apart into noodles. This design is quite fragile.

Yes it can work well with firm vegetables like carrots, zucchinis, turnips, rutabagas, cucumbers, large radishes and more...

Not sure what that is, but it does spiral potatoes. It comes with 2 different spiral blades for thickness.

Yes it does. I have used it for recipes that call for romaine or iceberg lettuce as well. All have been juiced successfully. This is a fantastic device! I am discovering it's just a matter of finding what I like juiced as far as taste goes but all my juicing attempts have gone well.

I have certainly used mostly the finest setting--love those zucchini noodles! It is nice to use multiple settings to make a salad more interesting...try narrow spirals for carrots, then wider ones of cucumber. Potatoes have made nice curls on the widest cut.When I put the machine away I make sure to put the smooth side of the cutter down to prevent me from grabbing a sharp blade if I grab it carelessly in the cupboard.

I have not tried to cut carrots, but it works with potatoes so I would think it would work with the carrots.

If you watch the youtube demos it helps. They add already sliced items to the bowl and then use this tool to chop into smaller bits. Main reason to use this is to get a finer sized veggie. The blades are not sharp like a Ulu blade or mezzaluna but works great for greens, herbs, fruit, ect. Food that is already cut up. Worked great for cucumber pieces and sliced almonds.

I have used it for baby carrots and it worked wonders!!!! Not sure about the other greens...

The size of the julienned strips is good for citrus, but too small/thin for zucchini noodles, in my opinion. I would go with a spiralizer for zucchini like this one at Williams Sonoma. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/paderno-sprializer/

Yes, it does work on softer vegetables, like zucchini. You'll have to cut the vegetable to fit into the space between the fork and the blades. You will get a core which you can chop into smaller pieces or leave as a thick chip. Please note that the peeler won't work on pitted fruit like peaches as the fork will not be able to pierce the pit.

Could you please tell me if it does carrot or zucchini "pasta" ? if it could shred these two veggies like a noodle or pasta thickness?Thank you

Yes, it makes strips as long as the vegetable, but is is not the type of peeler that makes long curly carrot or zucchini ribbons.

It is a strip slicer so cuts things into julienne strips, so with an onion it will act more like a grater than a slicer. I use it to grate zucchini and onions for my quinoa turkey meatballs recipe. And to julienne vegetables like carrots, zucchini, beets, cucumber, for salads etc

Haven't really tried that yet! It's not an easy utensil to use. They don't make perfect spirals. Had issues with the vegetable shredding into short pieces.

I made spinach juice with mine. I would think it would work just as well for any green leafy veggie.

I have used mine to cut 'paper' thin for meats. I have not tried vegetables yet.

Yes. You can do onions, carrots and other veggies just fine. Done it many times with no isssues.

Hey Lisa, After my a few tried with beets, it works for us. We have some experience you might like to know regard to how to use our Envy slicer for best results: - Regarding getting a better experience with carrots, zucchini, beets...I remember that the first time we used carrots ourselves, the strips didn't come out from the blade as long strips. Because carrots are hard, often their strips won't be as long as with soft vegetables such as summer squash, zucchini, eggplant, beets, etc. I practiced with zucchini (as you can see on the package) and were quickly able to get nice, long strips with our carrots. Be sure to use fresh carrots, zucchini that are thick enough to fully utilize your slicer blades. - Strongly recommend using fresh and thick veggies enough for best results. If it doesn't work, it might be due to very rarely item which defective during shipping processing. Although this product is very easy to use which is designed for "no-brainer" to use, it might need a little practice depend on various people's desire. Hope this help! -Jessica
