It does veggies pretty well but it doesn't do hard cheeses very well my husband almost broke it pressing too hard in the blade. I would give it a 6 out of 10 for the shredding of hard cheese but veggies it's great!

I made cauliflower 'rice' with the shredding blade before and it worked great.

No, N....its a large hole shredding blade. They sell a fine shredding blade but it'll cost an arm & a leg, I think I spent almost $60 on one for my 14 cup model...just so I could make carrot cakes. And btw....it tends to get clogged, so it wasn't really worth it. Rather than dirty & have to wash all those parts of the FP I just drag out the old manual fine shredder & take 2 minutes & a little elbow grease to do the job.

Hi Rita, We love this shredder and use it for our dental practice. It's so quiet, we shred docs with the patients sitting in our reception area. It's really that quiet, quick and powerful!! We oil it every time we empty the bin like SimplyShred recommends to keep it working efficiently. We probably fill up the bin 2-3 times a week. Couldn't be happier with this product. Let me know if you want more info. - Michael

Does this accessory pack come with a piece that will shred cabbage. I wore out my last one (not a KA). I make lots of eggrolls and need to shred about 6 heads for each batch. Any opinion is greatly appreciated.

Diamond Cut, They are talking about the blades would be my guess. It cut's great 8mm Average Size Strip's. I like the product, since it will mount on a tall kitchen plastic can, in which you can shred your documents into a plastic trash bag & tie it off, for easy recycling. It will cut 6 sheet's at once, but I do mine one or two at a time. Price versus the much more expensive shredders can't be matched & it dose have a reverse button for a possible jam. And if your doing heavy shredding, it has an overheat LED Warning Light. It fit's my need for Home Office Setting & I do not regret the purchase.

I think it shreds cabbage very well. I use mine all the time for this purpose.

They Are Sort Of Like A Duel Pizza Cutter. I Only Use It For Basic Salads. The Hardest Thing I've Ever Cut WithThem Is A Shredded CaRrot.

All what I've read is that one should use it after doing a lot of shredding. I use it every time I fill bin twice. Mainly you just want to make sure to keep it maintained.

I have really good luck with it. I snip off the carrot bottoms (just that nubby thingy), break the carrots usually in half, and pulse stopo pulse stop pulse until they are as large or small as I want. The more you pulse, the smaller they become. I'm in love with this chopper. Got it in May 2013, reviewed it here somewhere around then.

Yes, unless you like enormous pieces of carrot. This will make little tiny shreds. I've only used it with parmesan but it made nice shreds of that so should do the same with carrot.

Using the shredding disc that comes with it does a good job. We have used that disc to shred zucchini to make zucchini chocolate chip cake and zucchini bread and it comes out delicious.

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 find there is really very little waste using the food holder. I have not sliced carrots but can't see why that would be different from any other item. I was surprised at how much of, let's say an onion, actually was useable. I think the safety food holder is the key because it pushes the food into the blade.

Yes I have. The instructions say to shred the leaves in the large position first the reshred in the fine position. The unit will shred them in either position but do not jam the leaves into the unit. Give it time to cut the leaves. It works great for me!

I like it but it does chop different sizes. I used it to make a veggie salad. You have to quarter the vegetables before you chop them. Sometimes the quartershave to be cut again. For soft foods pulse lightly. I love using it to make egg salad.As far as I know, it won't shred. There might be another chopper that's betterand more expensive but this one is good enough. Also, if I want the bestuniform chopped vegetable....large or small dice....then I use a knife. I hopeI helped you....Jan

We have had a couple of shredders in the past. We have taken a piece of paper to be shredded and covered the sheet with vegetable oil and then ran it through the shrewder. We do this each time we empty the basket. We now see that there is a 'special oil' to use. Best experience we have to offer.

Hi The question is how does it compare to the CHAMPION, You need to say what you are trying to compare it to. The Champion Juicer is the best all around juicer period. I will start with carrots, If you look at about any juice book recipe most of the them have carrots in the mix, carrots have a lot of nutrition and healing. I will tell you the Champion will juice carrots with the best of them. Also the Champion will juice any kind of fruit, fresh or frozen. A lot of juicers won't do frozen very well, A Champion Juicer will juice leafy greens. Also the Champion Juicer has a grain mill attachment to make your own flour. I guess what I'am trying to say is a CHAMPION will do anything. The other juicer will leave a stringy pulp in it that you might not like, The Champion will leave pulp to but it masticates it a lot more so its real smooth. I will say this that the other juicer will not make fruit sorbet very good, It does not masticate it very well. When it comes time to clean your juicer the CHAMPION wins by far. The one thing you should be able to tell right away is look at the screen, Its a square screen with a little curve, Three inches by two inches, take a scrub brush and it cleans real easy, the other juicer has a round screen and are harder to clean. I hope this will help you, if you lived close to me I would ask you over and I would show you how easy the CHAMPION is to use and how good of a job it does. JUDITH if you would like to call me I think I could answer your questions a lot better. Go through the customer question process and leave your phone number or email, I live in Indiana. jim
