Is the blade low enough to puree small amounts e.g. half a sweet potato (1 oz food)?

Yes! That is what this device does best. Although it is also very good at larger jobs. My daughter purees a large pot of soup with it.

The blade is about half an inch from the bottom - you should be able to use it to puree with no problem.

It doesn't! I tried it on 4/24/14 to prep food for my bedridden mother, and it didn't work for only 2 Tbsp of cooked food. Bad design, as the "plunger" does not reach up to the blade assembly, so small amounts of food just sit in the gap. Wish I could return this!

I have not tried it, but it grates carrots very well, so it should work fine. You would just have to cut the sweet potato into thinner pieces to fit. I use the red one for carrots, as I find the orange one to grate them too small.

This will puree foods very finely. It has three levels of mesh. When I make potatoes with it they are very smooth. It will also leave any peel in the container, it won't go through the mesh. Hope that helps!

I use it on the thinnest setting for onions, cucumbers and carrots. The slices are paper thin. Do not know how it would work cutting thicker for dehydrating purposes.

yes, absolutely . The only tip i have is if it is having trouble blending take the blades off and shake the prod around a bit. if it is too full it creates a sort of vaccume other than that it works perfect with ice or frozen fruit.

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.

Not that kind of food processor. Perfect for pureeing foods and removing skin and seeds at the same time, for such foods as applesauce, tomato sauce, pumpkin puree etc.

I haven't used this model, it was a gift...but the previous model called a Happy Bwby Food Grinder, left little to nothing when the plunger reached the blade. If you are doing really tough, dry meat, you might have a little problem. I chopped any meats us tiny and incorporated with a vegetable.

I have only used it minimally for that....find it does okay with blueberries and softer fruit like that but would not use it for tougher fruits. Its blades are better suited to liquids and soft things like peanut butter.

Yes, if you either have very small nails or don't mind nipping several times. The blade length is 1/2".

This is a small food processor. I would not do dough in it unless it's a small amount.

I have no idea. It may not be worth getting because it seemed like the blades went dull after using it 3 or 4 times. I think I ruined it by putting a sweet potato through it.

The food processor attachment chops quite evenly, and unfortunately rather finely. As a scale example, the flask on the far right of the pic is a 3 cup flask. With suitable cajoling, I can generally fit a small or medium onion in the food processor attachment, and get onion puree

If it is 1/4" opening, yes.I use it for sweet potato's and I half to cut them in 3rds to push them through the cutter.

The knife has a thin blade and thus has a little give to it. However, the thin blade makes dicing small items like shallots and garlic a breeze. If you are cutting up a potato, for instance, the blade will give a little and not make the perfect cut. This is my go to knife for the small stuff. It stays sharp with a little care.

I chop raw potatoes that are about 1/4 inch thick so I would think so if the carrot were sliced in half lengthwise first though I have not tried.
