Will it slice tomatoes as a regular handheld mandoline slicer?

I cannot answer this question. The unit I bought arrived broken and was un-usable. It had to be returned for refund as replacement parts wer not available.

We have sliced several kinds of vegetables and cheese, and it has several "blades" for different things. We've never tried tomatoes, though, but it works well on what we've tried so far so don't see why it wouldn't slice tomatoes if you found the right blade for what you need. That took some trial and error attempts.

I was very disappointed with this product! I bought it to shred cheese mostly and it did not do a good job. The slicer part of it did not go far enough to the end to make a complete slice and just made a mess of things.

After using this mandolin on cucumbers and onions, I think you would get a really thin ribbon of zucchini.I believe it would cut the zucchini just fine, but it wouldn't be very thick.

It would smash tomatoes. The blades only cut when using force! Good question.

No, this just makes slices, however I did see one along the way (more $$) that does the julieene. If Good Grips makes it and if it is even half as good as the one I bought, it should be a winner.

I would think it would be sufficiently sharp, however it is not easy to cut evenly. With even a little bit of pressure applied downward it will warp causing uneven cuts. I regret spending so much on this mandolin when my cheapie cuts more evenly.

Blade is quite rigid. Will not bend. Yes you can cut through those vegetables. Easily through tomatoes.

Of course it will. Use it in the slicing (or wavy slicer) position and you can slice raw sweet potatoes just fine. They're a little bit too hard to use the julienne disc, however.

I use it to slice normal kitchen fare like vegetables & trim meat. It is not a hunting or survival knife

I dont believe so. Its for veggies. I think it would be like any other knife and would squash down the cheese as you cut. Potatoes and tomatoes arent supposed to stick to it because of the little grooves, but they do anyway.

Haven't used it for that but I would think it could. It is sharp and powerful. No problem for tomatoes .

The slices are quite thin...I have sliced apples to add to salads...it worked well for this. I really like this product as it replaces using a mandolin.

no, but it does tomatoes and plums well so i don't see why it wouldn't work.

It's not adjustable for thick and thin slices, but in my opinion, as it is really more convenient to use than the more complicated and more expensive adjustable mandolines, as there's no setup and easy to clean. So it's great for those quick jobs making homemade potato etc .

Yes it will...not a big amount at a time....but it does such a great job......and you can get alot done quickly!....it will chop veggies coarsely or fine...

Though I haven't attempted tomatoes, I think first of all it would have to be a smallish tomato, and secondly, that the slices would be too thin. Don't think the cutting wires would be strong enough to get through the skin of the tomato. It would require force and that would end up squishing the flesh. Maybe it would do well with the perfect size and texture tomato. I don't think it is what you are looking for.

Yes this should work because it sits on the slicer platform just like the food you want to slice. You then adjust it to sharpen the blade. This way it will work on most slicers
