The leverage handle does not push the potato all the way out. I have to pull the potato the rest of the way. .

It does the same to me I have to cut the potato in either 2 or 4 parts to get it to cut

As you know, there are two blade units and two push units that come with this. I am sure that you are using the correct and matching push unit with the appropriate blade. Please make sure that the pushing unit is correctly aligned and securely in place so that the crenelated portion pushes through the blade unit. If necessary, I could perhaps provide a video for you.

I have the same problem, next time I will buy the top loading one. All you do is just push down and the potatoe falls on a plate

I have had mine for over 6 mths and never had that problem. Make sure your potatoes isn't to talk or wide for the area.

Hold the bottom of pineapple and move handle side to side, up and down while slowing pulling. It will give and will pull out

If you use a potato the exact size of the space inside of the cutter as you push down on the handle the slices are propelled from the other end. Plus you'll want the fries as long as you can possibly get them anyways. I think that photo was staged so people could see what happens in slow motion. Those pieces somewhat eject from the other end and will separate. That's what makes this cutter is a very fast an efficient unit.

I'm not sure what you mean by handle being push back. For us, to turn on, handle is pulled forward max 2 in. To engage hot/cold, it's a matter of turn to right or left.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

This is really not the issue. Very long potatoes will fit but it is very difficult to push them through unless the unit is mounted firmly and you apply brute force. I have found that by soaking the potatoes in water for 20 minutes and using a length no more than 3/4 the opening I get very desirable results without wearing myself out. The larger the cut the easier, smaller cuts will take more effort on a spud that is very long. I hope that helps. I like this unit and use it regularly.

I know I'm responding to this later than the others, but don't loosen the screws! You have to lift the handle first; I know, it's really tough, I had to get my dad to help me, but that really is the solution. Once the handle is lifted, you can turn to knob to adjust the pressure.

The potatoes can be as long as will fit into the machine but like mentioned before it takes a lot of force to push it through the smaller sized blades. I had seen videos online (YouTube) showing how to mount it. Makes sense to mount it vertically with the potato coming out the bottom so one can collect in a bowl. This is how I use mine.

Yes, you just move the slicer blade out of the way. I did this with potatoes and it worked great.

It does make the handle longer and doesn't impact the stability of the tool. The 4-prong make it much more effective in removing the roots as long as you apply slow steady pressure on the tool.

The twist style resistance knob can be cranked down so that the cranks barely move. The hand positioning should'nt make a difference. A good machine.

I believe at the answer would be no. I takes strength to cut the potato. We use it to cut jalapenos, onions and other smaller vegetables. Works fine for the smaller vegetables.

Yes, my wife has problems tightening the upper section to the lower half. It seems like it 1/8 extra tightening to works. I've notice that the handle is typically within 90 degrees of the pressure relief valve on the lower half.

It was within the cutting blades for sure. Even tried a smaller potato and still did not fall thru the blades. Hope this helps.

What I noticed is you have to pinch the spout to get it out rather than biting down. It's a bad design flaw. But when I pinched it, it did pour out.

I haven't had a problem. Cut the potatoes in half and push the prongs down in as far as possible.

I'm a little confused here. Is your problem half way up the handle where the handle can be folded for transport or is the problem down at the mower itself? You might give BnD technical a call for help or re-post your question with a little more info. If the problem is at the folding point halfway up, you simply have to use a little brute strength to separate the two sections of the upper portion to allow it to slip on. You might need assistance from another person. Good luck.
