How is it for shredding - not chopping carrots or a potato [cut properly to fit of course] for hash browns.

I've never tried it with potatoes. Let me give it a try tomorrow and see if I agree with the other person who posted a comment. Thx for asking.

No, I don't think so. It makes slices (think tomatoes or cucumbers) it doesn't shred.

It has a pulse and run speed, a disk blade that slices on one side and grates on the other and a chopper blade. I haven't tried the slicer blade with potatoes but where you feed the food in is rather small and a potato would likely have to be quartered before it could be fed into the food processor. I don't think it would be good for that purpose.

Never used my machine on this type of material but if you do a Google search you will see in general that the Chippers on the market have a hard time with this substance. This commercial quality machine is a very strong and capable device that will shred most items, except those that are wet. But this type of unusual material could impact on the machine and cause additional maintenance to need performing, especially the cutting hammers. Here is a link to some solutions to this issue: http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?/topic/17667-recycling-palm-fronds-into-the-garden/

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

I haven't tried cabbage yet. It does a great job on shredding carrots, slicing peeled cucumbers, and shredding frozen green peppers. I definitely like mine.

This chopper just has the one blade. It creates small cubes - perhaps 1/4 of an each each. I love my chopper. If sliced, this chopper is also great for potatoes (hash browns).

The carrots would be fine enough for me for a carrot cake. And soooo easy! This is the only way to go when it comes to shredding carrots!

The shreds are substantially thinner than regular hash browns. The sheds are thinner than a lead pencil.

I shredded some purple cabbage and it did a very fine shred, not like you would find in a salad bar, but more fine. I thought it did a good job of it's a very fine shred that you're looking for.

I haven't tried carrots yet with it. it shreds potatoes and cheese nicely. It can slice sticks of pepperoni but not very well you have to push pretty hard. I think it would shred carrots nicely. It works great and I love that you can store stuff after you shred it.

For me it is. It cuts the paper into small pieces, and I haven't emptied the bin yet, after two months. It's very quiet as shredders go. And it handled 5 to 8 sheets at a time if that is important to someone. It also shreds old credit cards and CDs and DVDs, but those features are not important to me. Yes, it's the best shredder I've owned. It pays to buy something like this rather than the el-cheapos that don't really work well, even while they might suffice for someone with just a few items now and then. I shred a fair bit of material, and this is the way to go.

More nugget, not a really fine shred. We like the nuggets as they are heavy enough not to blow away and we can blow the leaves off of them without any problems. Pleased with the product for our needs.

I have used it to slice carrots and it works very well - have not done the julienne. But I have used the julienne on zucchini and I have used the bigger julienne blade on potatoes to make French fries and they both worked well.

I just use any large stainless stock pot, it really just depends on what your shredding.

I've had no trouble cutting carrots--just don't do it on a hard surface like granite!

No, N....its a large hole shredding blade. They sell a fine shredding blade but it'll cost an arm & a leg, I think I spent almost $60 on one for my 14 cup model...just so I could make carrot cakes. And btw....it tends to get clogged, so it wasn't really worth it. Rather than dirty & have to wash all those parts of the FP I just drag out the old manual fine shredder & take 2 minutes & a little elbow grease to do the job.
