the motor does NOT seem as strong as their older models. I think sweet potatoes would be a challenge and by the time you are done cutting them into strips to fit machine, you might as well finish the job with the knife. I wished i had returned my new poster in a timely manner. the unit i would give an over OK but not a GREAT like the older model that i simply wore out after 20 years.

I used it on a yam (sweet potato) and it worked fine. I did use a glove to hold it so I wouldn't cut myself. Cut a piece off a rounded veggie so it "sits" more firmly on your cutting board. The first slice of the peeler was hard but it got progressively easier.

Absolutely! Great at making thin potato slices and lots of other veggies. We use ours almost daily.

I have cut sweet potatoes with mine. However, I would suggest having it bolted solid on a wall or counter. You will really have to put some muscle behind it. I would recommend using a 70 count or smaller potato. The case of 50 count potatoes I cut was hard on the shoulders.

Yes. It chops anything I have tried on it, including thick slices of ham. Mine stayed sharp for about ten years.

As long as you're careful when you press the knife into the crust I don't think you should have a problem. I have used it to cut potatoes with it before. Just make sure that when you cut through the crust that you press straight down gently and don't force it. If this works for you I would appreciate a response to let me know that it can be used for this purpose. Thank you.

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.

Can not answer that. Only done onions and tomatoes and it works excellent with those 2 products. I do imagine it will chop those as well. Sorry

I've never used it for that purpose, but don' t think it will work. I primarily use it for slicing.

my slicer did not work. it was not adjustable and only had one blade that was too thin for doing a cabbage slice or potatoesno i would not buy it.

I think you can tell from my review that I found this product totally unsatisfactory for slicing potatoes. The blades make more friction than the lever can overcome. I suppose it would be easier to slice pickles, but I can't tell if that's what you have in mind. No, you cannot remove blades. There are several sizes of square-cut inserts, but they are all square-cut and the more blades, the more friction. I highly recommend that you do not buy this product for cutting anything. (To get any service at all out of it, plan on bolting to your counter.)

It will chop nuts not sure about hard veggies I only used it for salads, it isn't a sharp blade

It does not have thickness options and it probably would not slice thin enough for potato crisps. I would suggest a mandolin for that.

Oh yes. It is great for soup vegetables. Just a pulse or two. I chop dates with nuts and make a great crust for fruit pies etc. There are several blades for slices that I haven't used yet. This is not your mother's food processor!!! Much better.

Yes Irene, I have and the double bladed chopper cuts through it like butter. It chops veggies effortlessly!

I see no reason why not. The special cutting blade is so very sharp. Making long flat slices of a zucchini should be a breeze.BTW after seeing my Mandoline Slicer my sister-in-law is ordering one. Wait till you see the free bonus paring knife. Wow.
