How large are each of the slices when doing an 8"? I am considering this 6 slice but also the 7 and 8 slice versions as well.

Get out a 9- or 10-inch pie plate, and imagine it divided into only six slices. You get generous slices with a 9-inch plate, and overly generous slices with a 10-inch plate. Now imagine the plate divided into only eight slices. You get mingy slices with a 9-inch plate, and just-right slices with a 10-inch plate. I'm not sure whether this works with an 8-inch pie plate, but if it does, the same principle applies. If you cut an 8-inch pie into 8 slices, you will get unsatisfyingly small slices--slivers, not slices.

Slices are about 1/4 of an inch thick, I would say probably 8 slices. Since slices are long, I cut one in 2 to make a sandwich.

There are 7 long rectangular slices. I usually cut them in half and then toast them for a sandwich or with breakfast. I think toasted is best.

Cutting it as if you were cutting a pie, you can get up to 16 thin slices. I got 12, but my slices were bigger.

Sorry I took so long, have been traveling. The slicer has a thin side for 1/8" slice and a thick slice of 3/8". I used the thick side for the apples, pears and peaches I sliced for drying. Hope this helps, Gloria

You can cut an apple up to 4 inches across but you need to peel it first. If it's that big, it's hard to cut all the way down easily. I had to lean over the counter and put all my weight against it. I was afraid I'd break the handles off. But once I peeled the apples first and didn't use real big ones, they cut through just fine. I do like the second part. You flip the bottom up and out, slice almost all the way, then return the base and press on down to cut all the way through the apple. It's amazing and I really like the 16 cuts instead of 8. Enjoy yours. I do mine.

There is currently only one size for slicing. I have used it for tomatoes, potatoes and onions and the slice size is perfect for all!

I measured it improperly as 12 inches, it is actually 8 inches on each side. Still want to cut off about 4 inches!previous (incorrect) answer:Believe it or not .. it's 12 inches long, on each side! This is actually too long for me, and I have been meaning to chop off 6 inches or so on each side, but haven't done it yet.

The slices are about 1/4 inch. You cannot adjust the thickness, but you can take the corer/slicer part off and core/slice them yourself. The slices are fine for pie and most things I use it for.

I have the 4 slice version. The entire cord retracts, except the plug. So no 8 in tail showing if you don't want it.

The slices are about a half inch but can be cut thicker if you prefer. The distance is adjustable by choosing the slot to cut through. I like it and find it easy to use.

The slices are quite thin: Just thick enough to hold together. I would estimate about 1/16 of an inch or possibly less. Think in terms of shaving rather than slicing.

The instructions don't give the measurements of the slices, so I measured the thickest one. It's about 1/2 centimeter. Which is less that quarter of an inch. Not very thick. I love it though, and have learned to make do with thinner slices, or just use a knife.

This slicer works very well. The shred width is not adjustable. It is very fine. Around 1/8th inch?

I purchased the 8" only because the 6" wasn't available at what I felt was a reasonable cost. I just make the balls sized for a 6" tortilla and it works great. I was originally holding off to get the 6", but wanted to make for something coming up so went with 8" option and not disappointed I did. Not I can make either size. Hope this helps you.
