Does the food processor slice food , I.e. For potatoes or onions?

At the first look without trying, I SINCERELY FEEL, that this gadget shouldn't be tested against hard duty like slicing raw potato. At the same time I am sure it will not fail against soft fruits like an apple not charged whole but cut in four pieces. By any chance blades get blocked with hard material the electrical motor will be exposed to heavy strain and chances of permanent damage.

I had the same question. It appears from answers here. The answer is no. It has no disks for slicing or anything else. It is just a chopper. Not the type of "food processor" I am looking for =(

Yes onions for sure. Haven't tried potatoes but sure it can handle those as well!

I have not used mine for slicing yet. The only thing I used mine for is shredding carrots, and it worked beautifully. Sorry I can not help you with your question.

Yes, there is a dial on the side that allows you to adjust the depth of the slice. I've made potato chips from it as well as french fries!

I haven't tried chopping any of those items, but I would guess it would work just fine. The blades are quite sharp and I've had no problems chopping large chunks of onion with mine.

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

Yes. Depending on what cup or blade you use. I've done russets and red potatoes, carrots, but Onions are a a bit messy due to their layers. Cut a sweet potato and if it cuts fairly easy, you will have no problem. If it is too hard, boil them a little to soften them up some. Never cut a yam with it though.

If you use a potato the exact size of the space inside of the cutter as you push down on the handle the slices are propelled from the other end. Plus you'll want the fries as long as you can possibly get them anyways. I think that photo was staged so people could see what happens in slow motion. Those pieces somewhat eject from the other end and will separate. That's what makes this cutter is a very fast an efficient unit.

No...only for slicing....by the time you cut something into such a thin wedge and then run it through the blade for julienne size slices...you may as well julienne by hand...also, it would be very dangerous on this slicing machine...you do not want to get your finger close to the blade...not at all! Rosle does make a julienne slicer, but I do not have it and some reviews are not that great so I doubt I will get it. The food processor does the best for mass julienne slicing...if you are just doing a little...I slice by hand...or another thought...you may find one of the Oxo graters that has multiple slicing choices that does have a julienne...

The processor comes with a slicing blade and a shredding blade. It also has a plastic mixing blade along with the regular metal one. Even though I own a lot of extra blades (thick through thin slicers and shredders), I find the 2 that came with the processor will handle most jobs nicely.

Yes. There is a separate blade that be changed and used to shred cabbage, sprouts, onions, even zucchini. Quite easy to change once you've done it a few times."

I do NOT think there is any way to slice potato rounds for chips with this cutter. It has multiple small blades meant for cutting shreds of vegetables.

It does not slice vegetables. It chops, blends, and crushes . It makes great smoothies , frozen drinks, and salsa at our house.

The slicing disc that's included with the processor is 4mm which will produce slices a little thicker than 1/8 inch. There is a 3mm slicing blade that makes slices that are a bit shy of 1/8". The smallest slicing disc for this model is 2mm which of course will make slices thinner than 1/8". Both discs are sold separately. The thickest blade is the 6mm that makes 1/4" slices. It is also sold separately. The blades are super sharp so slicing is a breeze. However, depending upon the size of the potato, assuming you mean potato chips, you may have to cut the potatoes to fit inside the feed tube so you may wind up with half moon slices instead of round slices.

Yes, you can adjust the slicer so that it isn't in the way or slice your apples or potatoes.

No Judy, it does not but let me tell you -this is the best. It slices with such precision. I love it, plain and simple.
