does this do well for fruits/berries? I do a lot of home jams/jellies and am looking for something to chop peaches, apples, etc.

Yes it does. I donated it to a care facility with Alz residents, they pure everything with it, it has been in daily service since February of this year, still going!

If you want a coarse chop, this won't work. However, it does make very quick work of fruits and berries if you want to purée them. It is a powerful machine with a good-sized capacity.

I'm not an expert fruit picker. We havnt even used our apple picker yet, excited to do so this fall. I peaches are picked the same way by twisting and pulling the. I would assume it would work. The basket has prongs at the top that u would align with the stem of the fruit and then twist to remove. Not sure that answers your question, but good luck!

Mine is six months old and still works fine. I only use it for potato's, and apples, sometimes cucumber. It's doesn't cut oranges very well. I hate cutting regular, and sweet potato's, this makes it a lot easier. They seem to be made cheap but if your careful with it, and don't let it clog up, and keep the blade clean it seems like it might last awhile. This is something I don't use everyday. Pretty good on apples especially if you have an apple corer. Hopes this helps!

I have used it for strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and it worked very well.

I can't say that I've used it for pickles, but I love this device. I have used it on carrots (I cut 4 carrots at a time), zucchini and cucumbers. I would think the answer to your question is that you could use it for the purpose you mentioned.

I use it to chop vegetables for soups mostly. I have also used it to make hashbrowns out of my potatoes.

Yes this juicer juices beets well and greens etc., if your peaches and apples are soft they will be mushy, they recommend you use hard fruit ,no jams it chews it very smoothly ,also I juice wheatgrass, as well, also make sorbet , they have a great demonstration on YouTube.com.Best juicer, I highly recommend it. Good luck.

I have used the stick blender to make smoothies with frozen fruit on many occasions. I find that it helps to move the blender up and down so that it doesn't jam up, and use plenty of liquid- even if adding it as you go. As long as the blades are able to turn freely, it seems to work fine.

I don't think it would work for cooking jam. It works well for freezer jam, but it didn't set for jelly. I hope this helps.

I suppose it would work but I have a separate food processor I use for chopping fruit for jams or ingredients for salsa. You would have to use care not to over process your ingredients.

I have successfully used it with sliced apples, pineapple chunks, orange slices, frozen or fresh berries and bananas - I almost always add milk, OJ or water, yogurt and ice. It blends all of that quite well. It is not a juice extractor and does not remove pulp. I have not used it with any vegetables.

I've use it to chop nuts and veggies. I love the way it chops my cabbage and carrots. I also use it to make my pie dough...hope this helps.

Sorry No I've only used it with apples and pears. I don't see why it wouldn't work with other fruits as well. good luck..

Yes, I did a ton of apples, actually that is what I bought it for. Works great, just cut them up some.Good luck.

Although I have only used it to juice my apples this fall I do plan on using it for other fruits and vegetables. The instruction manual which comes with it does list tomatoes as one of the vegetables for juicing as well as many other fruits and veggies.
