How well does it cut sweet potatoes?

You would need to slice them lengthwise, in order to be able to properly cut a sweet potato. Say, no more than 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Works great for them if they're not to thick.

eh it kind of works but it does not work nearly as well as regular potatoes. i tried a snickers bar once too when i was drunk/baked. i wouldnt reccomend it.

Hi Lori, I just tried sweet potatoes and the chopper worked great. I used a thin slice of uncooked, unpeeled sweet potato on the smallest of the dicing blades, and it diced easily. Hope this helps!

It's pretty sturdy and would cut through veggies. I save mine for sushi to keep the blade nice and sharp. The price is good enough to buy several and use them at will.

Absolutely! Yesterday I used my chopper to slice a combo of sweet potatoes and yams. Then I pan fried them in a little coconut oil. Yummy!

I've sliced sweet potatoes and found it best to use smaller potatoes or cut them in half. You will have better control of the blade.

It will trim things up to 1 inch. It cuts a little slower at that size but it does work well

the motor does NOT seem as strong as their older models. I think sweet potatoes would be a challenge and by the time you are done cutting them into strips to fit machine, you might as well finish the job with the knife. I wished i had returned my new poster in a timely manner. the unit i would give an over OK but not a GREAT like the older model that i simply wore out after 20 years.

The cutting blades are about 3 1\4 inches square, so you can cut a pretty big potato with this unit. Overall it is a very nice heavy duty unit with four blade sizes. Keep in mind these type of slicers work great for potatoes or carrots but not really made to cut sweet potatoes. So I would say nearly all potatoes would fit this cutter just fine. If you had some really gigantic size potatoes you could cut them in half and run them through the slicer.

Not necessarily. I used larger potatoes but I just cut them in half before I put it in there. One thing though, it's gets difficult to use after the first few uses. The blades wore down extremely fast. I just about killed myself trying to put a sweet potato through it.

I have never cut any potatoes with mine but I think the answer would be no. It has 2 slicing blades but I think all they would do is slice it into something like a chip. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Definitely sharp enough to cut it, unless you're cutting extremely unripe avocados... even then it should still break through the skin and avocado meat, it just may take a little more push.

Depends on the age of the sweet potato, the older it gets, the more dried-out and hard it gets. If it's too hard you may bend your blades. The trick to cutting a sweet potato, is to half or quarter it first which lessons the friction against the blades.

If the blades are sharp enough. Sweet potatoes are much more dense than russets. I have found sweet potatoes difficult to process on a lesser expensive mandoline.

I have cut sweet potatoes with mine. However, I would suggest having it bolted solid on a wall or counter. You will really have to put some muscle behind it. I would recommend using a 70 count or smaller potato. The case of 50 count potatoes I cut was hard on the shoulders.

Yes. I have made sweet potato fries several times. I microwaved the sweet potato for 1 minute 20 seconds and after trimming it to fit on the machine it worked great. Note: I did use the larger opening blade for the fries, have not tried the smaller ones on a sweet potato yet. I am saving the the trimmed portion of the sweet potatoes in a freezer bag and will use them to make mashed sweet potatoes.

Works good for regular potatoes. Not so good for sweet potatoes. works good for the price. I think if I needed a new one I would get something a little more durable that provided some leverage to make it easier to doo harder things like sweet potatoes. I find it works best with larger potatoes that will not move while you are cutting them.

Mine is six months old and still works fine. I only use it for potato's, and apples, sometimes cucumber. It's doesn't cut oranges very well. I hate cutting regular, and sweet potato's, this makes it a lot easier. They seem to be made cheap but if your careful with it, and don't let it clog up, and keep the blade clean it seems like it might last awhile. This is something I don't use everyday. Pretty good on apples especially if you have an apple corer. Hopes this helps!
