Are the blades strong enough to spiralize sweet potatoes and winter squash?

I would say that it is likely it will take care of it pretty easily. I haven't done sweet potatoes w the spiralizer yet though. You might also check out this spiralizer. GEFU Spiralfix Spiral Cutter I would be more likely to give this route a try given another chance. Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkwVhBOWUV0&feature;=youtube_gdata_player

Honestly, a sweet potato broke mine :( Looking into replacing it right now.

I don't recommend that, this would more likely mash them up - the blades are too thick & close together.

Absolutely! Just be careful. The slicing blade is so sharp and effortless to use, you will be through a potato before you realize it. You'll have the potatoes sliced and frying in half the time than if you used a knife.

i have been using the replacement blades for two months and they are holding up just fine. i have used the bullet to make tomato sauce, margaritas with ice cubes, and many other dishes.

I love these knives. I've chopped potatoes and carrots and haven't had any problems. They will not hold up to deboning or other twisting actions, but for normal chopping or slicing they are great.

no, the finest blade is not that fine, I think it is 1/8th inch. It is more about creating long noodle shapes from the zucchini that taste great, and are very healthy, that will go with all kinds of sauces. It will not create as many shapes as you would get with pasta machine or dry pasta

They are pretty thin, but it still might make a decent spaghetti style noodle for you. We use it mostly for our carrots and cucumbers in salads. What I would do is to try a little and see how it turns out before dedicating the whole zucchini to it.

yes, but the vege needs to be the proper size. it also is essential when you get close to the blade or blades.

Haven't really tried that yet! It's not an easy utensil to use. They don't make perfect spirals. Had issues with the vegetable shredding into short pieces.

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.

They work really well because their edges are sharp. However, I do suggest cutting the hard vegetables into a thickness that is no greater than 1/4 inch.

My husband has chopped potatoes with this for French fries, but honestly I don't think I would have enough strength to do that. Other than that I nearly use it every day for chopping. I love it!

I would say no, for 2 reasons - the blades aren't super sharp and they are too far apart to mince finely.

The blade is very thin and sharp so its a great thin slicer. Potatos and peeled squash yes but anything with tough skin should be cut with a heavier knife.

I wouldn't. It doesn't seem sturdy enough, you may damage the blades inside. You should look into blenders!

A sweet potato is pretty dense. It does work best if you use the blade for apples. The others scare me like they will break from pushing down so hard.

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.
