The size is the right for you hand and the most important is the rbber grip,excelent so you con hold firminly,and not risk to be cut. I peel smalls potaoes,also a very largecarrots,al depend using you common sense cutting one end and that put flat al tehe cutter table and you gong to se how easy you can peel anything.

It is only about 2 1/4 " wide so would probably not work for slicing big vegetables.

There's pretty good space between the trays. I purchased the smaller model first, but you really have to keep slices thin with that one. The larger model is definately the way to go. Using a mandoline, you can use the largest setting, which seems to be 1/4 inch thick. You can halve cherry tomatoes and there is enough space for those (not so in the smaller model - the cherry's need to be cut into thirds). There's always the option to take every other tray out to create more room as well. Hope this helps.

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.

The blade itself is 1/4 inch wide. The blade arm is set on a spring and you hold that to the apple with your left hand while turning the crank with your right hand. I am able to peel the biggest apples with no problem. I don't use the corer/slicer because it doesn't core the apples quite as much as I want them cored - it produces a core of less than 1" - and the slices it produces are too thin for most all of my recipes. But that's true of all corer/slicers, none of them will do exactly what you want done with the apple! So I use this gadget for peeling only and it saves a lot of time, I core and slice by hand.

I will have to look at the specs to answer your question. However if you are looking for a new slicer, look no further. I will sell you mine. I have never used it, it is brand new. If you are interested I'm sure that we can make a good deal. Contact me@ yozjeff@aol.com.

This slicer is a very good size, larger than it appears in the product photo. I would say you can slice just about everything with ease. I use it primarily to slice sweet potatos and it works great -- slices right through like soft butter. Absolutely amazing! If you plan to use it for cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, etc., the size is more than adequate, you shouldn't have any problem at all. The body is definitely not too narrow. It's a great product. I would recommend it without hesitation.

This is by far my favorite peeler I have ever owned.. I've had one more almost a year and I abuse it with carrots and potatoes... Normally this company has a warranty of lifetime. If it ever dulls or break, shoot them an email and tell them whats up and they will send you a brand new one... The only problem I face with this product is it will start hurting your hands from the grip, super thin handle but a beast in the kitchen... Order 12 and give them to friends and family and they will love you forever at this peeler, also toss all other peelers in the garbage and never buy any kind else.

hello, i haven't tried making thin and crisp potato slices. in fact the slicer is in the cabinet w/other things I don't use anymore....I don't fry any foods so I wouldn't even do that but I have tried slicing potato's for baked fries and it dosent work that great. You have to take the skin off then slice. Slicer won't work well w/skins on. good luck

Mandoline is very easy to use. I don't understand the reaction of Katie. I'am very satisfied with this mandoline and never had a problem slicing fruits, vegetables etc.

Yes, it is very easy to use...it is almost the same dimension as a regular peeler, although the handle is slightly thinner than the one have. I love the zuchinni and squash this way. I haven't tried carrots yet.

Get a v-slicer (mandoline). I read all the amazon reviews and got one. I love it. It does many of the same jobs as a food processor for less money and mess. It will take care of your veggies.

Hello Paulina , yes it will peel a sweet potato , but the slices won't be wide enough . Your slices won't be big enough to make chips . I hope I helped you . It's a great peeler .

I have one and I just use the regular size that you get at the store. I have cut them in half if I felt they were too long or too fat though, and it works just fine that way. Also works good if you need to dice onions

I have peeled potatoes, and it worked great! I think it would hold up just fine. I haven't had any problems and have had mine for a while now.

I'm sorry but I am unable to answer this right now; I bought this peeler as a spare to have on hand when my other one breaks and I have not used it yet. My other peeler is not an OXO but it does have the potato eyer that sticks out on the side and it does not get in my way when peeling.

I honestly can't say, yet. I used it to slice & core some granny smith apples, twice, to sauté in a bit of butter & cinnamon sugar. It was automatically perfect for my task, so I haven't tried to adjust. The slices were maybe 3/8" thick.
