would this work for something hard like a beet?

You would first have to shape the beet to fit into the tube -- carving it into a tube, like a zucchini or carrot. I think it would be pretty as a garnish but maybe a lot of work for more than that.

Yes, if the beet is large enough. There is a device that comes with it that you can push the vegetable down into the slicer. It works on carrots, etc.

I've tried it on carrots zucchini and cucumber ,never with beets but I'd imagine it would

No I think sweet potatoes would be to hard. I used mine to make slaw. We sheredded up cabbage, carrots, and onions.

It should work fine with hard raw veggies, but because they will need a little extra pressure, you will want to place the mandoline on top of a bowl so both ends have some support. The mandoline is very thin and bends easily.

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 only use it for cheeses. They aren't as hard as carrots , radishes etc. I think it would be s little difficult. Really not made for it.. Great for cheese though

No, it would not. It's not that great of a chopper for anything tough. It would work well for chopping soft foods.

This is not a heavy duty tiller, not a "breaking ground" tiller so it will depend in large part on the type of soil the grass is growing in. With hard-packed clay? No it will not work. But if the soil is already relatively loose then it will work fairly well but it will be hard work for the tiller. This tiller's primary use is for weeding and tilling already broken ground.

No, I don't think it would work well for that. I used it on pinecones and small branches and it worked well. I use my lawnmower with bag (Greenworks as well) to collect and mulch leaves.

I would say that it depends on what you call "grass". If it is deeply rooted and the soil is dry and hard, maybe. If it is a relatively soft area that can be torn up with a boot heel, yes. My small garden is very soft and this tiller works it like magic. If I were busting up clods of dry dirt I am not sure it could handle it. Best answer I can give you!

I've used it on butternut and acorn squash with no problems at all... that being said, pumpkin is a bit tougher. I'd say it would work just fine, though.

I wouldn't. It uses a disc shaped rasp to tear the plant matter into particles, and then slings the juice off. I seriously doubt it would be effective at "grinding" anything.

While this would work it's a little bit of overkill as it was designed for tougher nuts. This is how we do pecans and it works great, especially since you get complete halves most of the time. Hope this helpshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGSR8t0bYRw

it might, but it's not designed for that.......more for cheese.....things that stick to the knife when cut. You need more of a Santoku type knife for cutting hard veggies

I'm not sure. But I think it would work. It seems pretty strong with no chipping.

I have not used it for that, but only for tulip bulbs. I would not think it would be adequate, as the hole it digs is small, and, if you try to enlarge it, the bit is not strong enough to resist slipping. Also, the shaft is smooth, rather than square, so it does not produce a lot of torque.

I think it would. I used it for thyme which is pretty delicate like parsley and cilantro.

I haven't tried it on Beets yet. It worked great on daikon radish, carrots and cucumbers.
