I want the medium sized slicer. Is this it? What is the width of the vegetable it will slice?

Hi, the one that I have is 3 1/2" b. And 11" long. I love it, its the most handy tool in the kitchen. Highly recommend. Cost..a little expensive. But worth having one.

this is the regular size, and there is larger size which is about 20% larger than the regular. You can slice some "large" vegetables, like eggplants, sweet potatoes, yams, cassava, large carrots, plantains, and stuff like this, but depending on the size of the vegetable itself, you might need to trim the sides to fit in the slicer. Mine is the regular size, and I never had problems.

It will do medium sized potatoes and tomatoes. Big russets have to go length wise.

Deborah I can't tell you for sure because I rebuilt the slicer to a 5" wide loaf to fit my bread pans. I'm going to guess that it was 6" or very close to that.

While I've never made that dish, I have sliced onions from about 1/8" to paper thin depending on what I'm making, using the larger mandoline. It works really well, meaning the slices are uniform and consistent as long as you use proper technique and don't try to go super fast (meaning slide the onion all the way back past the blades before heading forward for another slice).

I see no difference between the two models. Both are mandolin slicers, both cut vegetables and fruit.

It only has one size to slice and that is very thin. I think I would go with a more versatile slicer. I wouldn't buy this again

I don't think it slices because it only had one blade. It will shred lettuce and cabbage very nicely. Check to see if you can purchase additional blades for additional slicing Otherwise, it's ,neat, fast, easy to clean, DW safe and tub is a good size.

Get a v-slicer (mandoline). I read all the amazon reviews and got one. I love it. It does many of the same jobs as a food processor for less money and mess. It will take care of your veggies.

I don't use it much at all anymore. Got it out the other day and replaced it with my Mac santoku which I love. It does slice well, but I'm not really pleased with it. I don't know if it would work on harder veggies, I also use a Forschner 8" chef's knife for harder things, seems more sturdy.

Darlene, I love this slicer. It is durable and works great. In fact, my sister is borrowing it. I bought it with a coupon so that helped but honestly it seems it will last a lifetime. Good luck!

Thomas Thanks for the question. I bought this for my wife to make sour kraut with. The quality of the board is really great and it works really well. Before buying this board my wife spent a lot of time slicing and shredding by hand. Forget about cutting 10 heads of cabbage by hand ever again. The blade on this thing is like having your own personal cabbage ninja. It has a nice box the cabbage half goes into then it slides across the blade. It cuts with ease. The dimensions of the unit are 2' long 9.5" wide and 1.5" thick. The box the cabbage goes in is 8"x7" and is 2.5" tall. The actual cutting blade is 8". I can send actual pics of the unit if you like.

I know you can slice fruit with it. I have not tried to slice vegetables but it also chops and purees Ice. I know it chops vegetables. Sorry that I can give you a better answer. I love mine.

You can cut slices either 3.5 mm (approximately 1/8) or 7 mm (slightly over 1/4") thick. There are two julienne blades, 3.5 mm and 7 mm wide.

The slices are about 1/4 inch. You cannot adjust the thickness, but you can take the corer/slicer part off and core/slice them yourself. The slices are fine for pie and most things I use it for.

Its a good size for cutting veggies and normal size cuts of meat, it isnt smaller than any other standard cutting board size i have owned.

Hello JLJ, definitely the one I purchased because it has 4 suction cups it sits on for stability while slicing. Also you can put veggies of all sizes in the one I bought. I sliced a large onion last night in less than a minute. I am in my 60's and cook a lot. I hope this helps you decide. Wendy
