Does this cut very large apples without the apples getting stuckin the slicer? The center slicer would need to be about 4-1/2" in diameter.

No, it doesn't cut an apple that has a diameter larger than the diameter of the circular cutter. (I did not measure the diameter.)Just recieved this tool today, and seems like all the supermarket apples are too large. The cutter got about 1/3 of the way down, and I really had to work to pry and get the apple back out of the slicer...the apple was way too wide to go further. Buy smaller apples. Actually, they need to make a larger Apple Slicer!

Not very large apples, but average red and greens it should work fine. I really like this product.

No. It's only a 4" diameter. I do really like it though. It's very sturdy and you don't have to worry about it breaking.

Yes, but the slices are too large ... I prefer smaller, so I went back to a chef knife.

it will have to be a very large Apple, I haven't tried it but I can't see why it would not work. Couple of my friends who saw me use it on pineapple just amazed and love the idea. I just don't know if it would work on an apple I'm sure there's something like it for apples.

No I have not but it should work on any firm ripe fruit. I would imagine you could core an Apple or any other fruit where the seed or pit was pretty much centered and no bigger than a mango seed. Incidentally I also purchased an Avocado splitter and it was terrific. it rolled the big seed right into the hole and then sliced the Avocado in strips after scooping the flesh out.

You can cut an apple up to 4 inches across but you need to peel it first. If it's that big, it's hard to cut all the way down easily. I had to lean over the counter and put all my weight against it. I was afraid I'd break the handles off. But once I peeled the apples first and didn't use real big ones, they cut through just fine. I do like the second part. You flip the bottom up and out, slice almost all the way, then return the base and press on down to cut all the way through the apple. It's amazing and I really like the 16 cuts instead of 8. Enjoy yours. I do mine.

I try to find the most regularly shaped apples for that reason. Sometimes, however, the nicest ones are not so perfect in shape. I figure if I have to do some touch-up it is still better than doing it all by hand. My issue with this device is that there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the thickness of the slices, and that is something I would like to be able to do.

You have 4 inches to insert an apple into the pins. It does a good job peeling and coring apples; unfortunately one of the pins on my peeler came out but it still works using only two pins. It is easy to clean after use.

Not really the only thing you can do is adjust the depth of the blade so it doesn't cut as deep....it will leave some peel on the ends but you save a ton of the Apple. Uneven apples and large apples don't do as well with this peeler. I have done potatoes and small apples and it works great.

It fits a whole Apple but best to cut in quarters. I would go with a better juicer though cause it doesn't give much juice and pulp is still wet. Also the plunger flakes pieces of black plastic into the juice.

No. It's not large enough for even a small pineapple. Plus I don't think the blade could handle it. We use this:All Ware Stainless Steel Pineapple Easy Slicer and De-Corer

No, it won't just remove the peel it will spiralize the entire apple peel and all. I'd suggest you core the apple first if you want to do that.

If you mean whole...like uncut...no. A whole apple sliced into pieces would fit in the bottom large container.

Yes, but if using large bread slices, you will have to turn slices to fit. I think it works just fine. Thanks for asking.

I have only tried apples but I am sure it would work with most round fruit anywhere from a couple of inches in diameter to 6 or 7 inches.

No, the largest slicer did a good job slicing apples, everything else I tried on the other blades was a failure. My mandolin does a great job making julienne strips.

We have only cut about 1/2 inch slices. Beyond that, we are not sure. Hope that helps. We are very pleased with our slicer.

Yes. It seems to adjust nicely to the size of the apple. I had a lot of small ones given to me and I dehydrated them. This is the handiest gadget I've ever used for apples. :-)

Good peeler must use a medium pine, not large because you would waist the fruit, it slices in a spiral way while it cores
