Can this machine be used to shred coconut? I read a bunch of reviews (not all) and nobody mentioned coconut, which would be what I want it for.

I bought this for my daughter-in-law, and she said she didn't know why it wouldn't because it shreds everything else. She loves it.

I would think so but not sure. I can get some coconut next time I go to the store and try it.

According to their web site, it can shred coconut. You can read more about it here: http://www.saladshooter.com/tips.html

I am not sure.Coconut is not too soft nor too hard, so it ought to be able to shred it without turning it to mush.Just make sure the piece is large enough to shred and that no shell remains on it.Another commenter posted the site url http://www.saladshooter.com/tips.html check it out

I didn't use the Presto 02910 SaladShooter to shred any coconut, but I seriously doubt it's capable of doing so. The shredder is very flimsy.

Sorry I have not tried shredding coconut yet, but I think it should work. I have used it on ginger, jicama, & other things. I'd try using small pieces.

Yes, the instruction manual specifies that it can shred coconut. Just make sure to clean it good and watch for clogs from the coconut's oils.

I Would not recommend trying to shred something like that. I have seen more expensive type shredders struggle with cardboard. It may be okay if you shred in small strips. But it will eat up credit cards, CD's, and DVD's with no problem. Hope this helps

My experience with shredding leaves with this machine was that it jammed up with any volume. I spent more time unclogging it than I did shredding. I doubt it would do a good job.

All what I've read is that one should use it after doing a lot of shredding. I use it every time I fill bin twice. Mainly you just want to make sure to keep it maintained.

The shredder blades are too small for a moist vegetables. What you need to use is the slicer blade. It has long slots on it.

I'm gonna bet not. think of it as being more of an effective "smasher into bits" as opposed to "scissor slicing into bits." I tried to run some very dry desert palm tree fronds though it and all it did was make masses of fibrous strings that clumped up and clogged the shredder.

No, but I have been looking for years. McCulloch has similar shredder and I wrote asking if they could make one. Response was make your own wet scrapper from large hp used garbage disposal in wood case. Search online and you can find diy instructions. Even a hand crank heavy duty meat grinder would be nice, but they can't be found.

Using the shredding disc that comes with it does a good job. We have used that disc to shred zucchini to make zucchini chocolate chip cake and zucchini bread and it comes out delicious.

What I noticed is that machine will not work more than half an hour if I use continually, as I shred only once in a month. It need a good couple of hour cooling time, may be something wrong with my machine.

I haven't tried it, but I imagine it handling an occasional piece of cardboard since it's able to handle a CD or credit card. I would only shred a cereal box if I'd opened it up to a single layer.

Nate, I've owned this machine about 9 months now. I've put several hundred sheets through it. Some I've put straight in, in little packs, the machine ate them up. Others, I've stacked and laid them in, and closed the lit, it ate them as well. I read all the reviews too, prior to buying. I compared more $ costs to bigger and better machines, but who wants to pay $$$ big dollars just to shred junk you don't want, or need? My idea is this machine for the money it cost, does a better than average job, and doesn't jam. I think I've seen my wife feed it so much paper, hand fed, group after group for long enough to cause the machine to jam once. Once! When it did that, it backed itself up, and cleared the jam. I had her wait a little while to let it cool down. Gotta remember it's not a professional machine, but a darn good home owner's machine that does the job. There's always somebody somewhere that'll review that it's a terrible machine. Gotta expect that. But more, many more, said it was very good. Including my review. Good luck. rw

Dear Raul,We are glad to hear from you. First thing this machine we making for House hold use. If you want to use this machine for a industrial purpose " Yes". Only thing you have to give enough brake time (10-20 minutes) after every 10 coconut grate.You feel little bit hot on the coconut shredder body part , That is ok. And you need couple of extra blades also , that we are selling through amazon.If you have more question feel free to ask.ThanksGitachi engineering inc

Yes, we use an electric shredder it works great. But once it's all in a bin with water etc, we stir it and let it "meddle" and ends up breaking up even more over time.

There was no owners manual with the one I ordered. I don't see any reason why you couldn't shred newspaper though. The biggest thing though is don't try and shred too many pages at once. It's not of comercial grade so it could burn the motor out

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

You should oil it, it will last longer. The manual says cooking oil is OK. Youtube has videos on how to oil shredders.
