does this also make slices like a mandoline would? or does it just spiral?

Two of the plastic legs broke the first time I used it, so I had minimal experience with it. I don't recommend this product.

I have never cut any potatoes with mine but I think the answer would be no. It has 2 slicing blades but I think all they would do is slice it into something like a chip. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

It neither slices, dices nor shreds. It's only a high speed food chopper. Also, no discs are available. It is what is, not a food processor in the real sense.

It can spiral slice anything, but the core of the vegetable would be removed as well.

After using this mandolin on cucumbers and onions, I think you would get a really thin ribbon of zucchini.I believe it would cut the zucchini just fine, but it wouldn't be very thick.

It has to be used to slice into rings, which if you just cut down one side gives you half a slice, or you can cut into sections, it is not a peeler or just a corer. Love this it does a great job.

Just slices, but you can make such paper thin slices that they can be used in place of shredded in a lot of recipes. It really is a great tool to have.

I like it but it does chop different sizes. I used it to make a veggie salad. You have to quarter the vegetables before you chop them. Sometimes the quartershave to be cut again. For soft foods pulse lightly. I love using it to make egg salad.As far as I know, it won't shred. There might be another chopper that's betterand more expensive but this one is good enough. Also, if I want the bestuniform chopped vegetable....large or small dice....then I use a knife. I hopeI helped you....Jan

Hello Thomas, with our mandoline you only receive bonus knife and 3 free ebooks. We mention in our main title that Tominco mandoline has "Longer Life Than Traditional Mandolines, Spiral, Spiralizer And Vegetable Chopper...". It's only statement that our product has longer life than traditional spiralizer.... Hope this help:-)

it's really meant to be a basic slicer. I guess you could lay a carrot or small potato "sideways" and make slices and then cut them into julienne pieces, but that may be a more advanced cut. However, if you only want thin 'shreds' and the shape isn't important, it could certainly do that on the thinnest setting.

Not to my knowledge. The blade is on one side of the disc only, and so slices quickly rather than peels. Slices are quite even.

I tried slicing an onion but don't recommend it. The slicing blades aren't rigid enough to cut through the onion without the possibility of bending. It has something to do with the texture of the onion.

No. This slicer creates medium sized, julienne "strips". It does not create flat slices. I use it to julienne carrots, broccoli, radishes and other veggies for salads and sandwitches. (The julienne strips this slicer creates are like grated vegetables, but the grated pieces are a lot fatter and longer.)

I've only used a few times for zucchini. I think a food processor would chop it more. I think of a mandolin for slices. This spiralizer give you noodles, long noodles. Really cool. Kind of vague, hope this helps.

It is a strip slicer so cuts things into julienne strips, so with an onion it will act more like a grater than a slicer. I use it to grate zucchini and onions for my quinoa turkey meatballs recipe. And to julienne vegetables like carrots, zucchini, beets, cucumber, for salads etc

I'm not sure what you mean by a V-slicer and I don't think I've used one so I can't say. The julienne blades don't work well with harder vegetables. It's a shame because that's what we really wanted it for but...oh, well. I know others have said that it does work well so perhaps it is our inexperience with it. It's our first. We will try again and let you know!
