Can this chop raw, harder vegetables... like carrots?

Yes, I cut carrots all the time, along with celery & onions. It does an excellent job.

Yes. I chopped a bunch of ginger root last night with it, in fact. First couple strokes take some muscle, of course.

I've had no trouble cutting carrots--just don't do it on a hard surface like granite!

The julienne blades work very well with harder vegetables. I prefer it to a v-slicer as it seems to not jam up.

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!

Absolutely cuts raw onion, I would think it could cut potato & beetroot just as well but I haven't tried those.I only have this chopper a short while and loving it. Cleans extremely easy. I think stainless blades neverneed sharpening. Two year limited warranty. Booklet that comes explains in detail.

Yes. This cuts carrots and they are much harder than sweet potatoes. It cuts a veggie platter quickly but wont cut green peppers. It does cucumbers and carrots beautifully and any kind of potatoes! I love my cutter!

You probably could. It does not have a smooth surface, but no problem chopping on it.

I think this chopper is great. As far as semi-hard veggies, if you mean like broccoli I'm sure it would do a good job on that. If we're talking big hunks of raw carrots, I'm not so sure. Mostly I've used the chopper for a salad with lettuce, chicken, olives, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, celery, onions, etc. and it works magic.

I've never used it for vegetables, but I would imagine they'd have to be a hard veggie, like carrot or frozen pretty solid! And cut kind of small!

I can't honestly say that it will. I've used it for onions, boiled eggs and tuna and it was wonderful. I think if you go to qvc.com and search for this, they may still have a video showing everything it does. I know they used to, but it was a while ago.I think it could chop your vegetables. The blades are very, very sharp. Obviously, if you don't overload it, it will do a better job. Hope this helps. I don't think you would regret buying this.

I've never tried carrots BUT it can turn raw ice cubes into fine snow so I'd have to say yes! It's a great powerful blender.

You can pulse the unit which gives a chopped feel. If you are looking for something that evenlys chops items you might buy a chopper. I use this to make pico de gallo and it comes out great.
