How does this compare with the slicer dicer on TV which has several blade options? Can you cut in different sizes and shapes? Grate?

As the name implies it's a food chopper. It chops. Does not not slice, dice, grate, or make pretty shapes.

Sorry I have never seen or tried the slicer Dicer, I just found the grooves that the blades fit through keep getting jammed and food gets stuck inside the grooves. It isn't as easy as the demonstrators show them to be. I wasted my money because I never use it.

Only one blade option with this one, so no, no different sizes, shapes, or grating.

Go to youtube and search for Weston Slicer. There are a few videos showing how to use a similar (7 1/2 inch) model but not this exact one.

I preferred the slicer that wasn't adjustable as this one tends to move thickness whilst in use as there is no locking mechanism. The non adjustable is the same brand, make sure you get the thin slicer and yes it will do your job I use mine all the time I love it!

There's a "slider" to adjust the thickness of the cut -- but not a huge difference between the three. The two thinnest I'd call "paper thin". The thickest cuts about 1/32" of an inch thick - perfect for carrot "coins".

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 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

I have two separate ones. One makes slices and one makes julienne cuts. It is worth buying both as it makes life a whole lot easier.

The slices are about a half inch but can be cut thicker if you prefer. The distance is adjustable by choosing the slot to cut through. I like it and find it easy to use.

I've never tried it, but, I don't believe you can. There are two different blades, one on each side of the slicer, but, you only use one side at a time.

Hi, Susan - there is a slicing blade,a grating blade, a dough mixer and the main chopping blade. I actually use mine in our restaurant, it's that good! It gets a real workout :)

The center blade part rotates to different positions so one position is for slices and another is for small dicing/shredding, and one larger for fries. But it really did not work very well and that's why I returned mine.

I take a knife and cut the celery on a cutting board. Using the Nicer Dicer is ridiculous. I tried many times and it does not work the way the guy on tv showed us. Sometimes I make a mistake in purchasing an item. This was one of them.

I didn't get the slicer blade with mine, but you might try Abtecparts.com. They may have a different slicer blade that can give you better results. I generally use mine for things like making peanut butter, cauliflower mash, salsa verde and things I want nearly pureed.

With the different blades, you get different types of cuts- also I think it's much safer than my mandolin. With a food processor, you don't get the long noodle like cuts as you do with the spirializer. I have all three but am using the spirializer most often.

I will have to look at the specs to answer your question. However if you are looking for a new slicer, look no further. I will sell you mine. I have never used it, it is brand new. If you are interested I'm sure that we can make a good deal. Contact me@ yozjeff@aol.com.

I've not had mine very long and have only used it once...and it does slice...the slicing looks like a slinky (spirally) ...lol
