Does this work ok on softer veggies and fruit? Like eggplant or zucchini for example.

Yes, it does work on softer vegetables, like zucchini. You'll have to cut the vegetable to fit into the space between the fork and the blades. You will get a core which you can chop into smaller pieces or leave as a thick chip. Please note that the peeler won't work on pitted fruit like peaches as the fork will not be able to pierce the pit.

The peeler doesn't have a serrated edge specifically for soft fruits, but it is able to peel firmer soft fruits such as a firm tomato

It's great for onions. It also works fine for firm tomatoes, but has a little trouble if the tomato is a softer variety or a little overripe.

I have only used it minimally for that....find it does okay with blueberries and softer fruit like that but would not use it for tougher fruits. Its blades are better suited to liquids and soft things like peanut butter. I should mention that I smushed up the blueberries first. The little plastic spinner is really for liquids and such.

I have only used the cutter for meat & cheese...But, you have a good idea...If the veg was firm I don't see a problem...but if soft & mushy I don't think it will work for ya...

I usually do firmer vegetables, like root vegetables, but have used it on yellow squash and zucchini and it worked well. It's pretty sharp.

No, this will not peel your vegetables. It will slice them or just spiral them. Perfect if you want to do sweet potate fries, zuchine, beets... I love mine! Very easy to use and clean.

I've only used it for citrus, but think it would work well as it has a good soft area for the fruit to land.

It does REALLY well with vegetables; I've only had problems with super wet vegetables (e.g. the seeded portion of summer squash), but that just required some extra cleaning, nothing too intense.

I haven't tried it on eggplant, but I think it would wirk well. I find that it cuts well, and eggplants need a sharp cutter, in my experience.

I haven't tried it on hard vegetables and can't give you an honest answer. Works great on tomatoes!

I'm sure UberChef answered your concern. So far, I've used it for zucchini and cucumber and it works great!

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

Works great. I alternate between harder vegetables like carrots and softer items like apples, pears etc..

Yes, I have used it for spinach and other greens, but they have been fresh and crisp. Don't think it would work with greens that were even a little limp.
