Sorry, never used it. Bought it for gift and didn't read carefully where it said "used". My daughter turned it around on ebay and sold it next day. Didn't lose anything and learned a lot.

It cuts raw carrots quickly and easily -- grating or slicing. I've never tried beets, but as long as they fit into the hopper, I don't think there'd be a problem. I've had no trouble grating hard cheese (like asiago), so I think it would handle beets.

i did not have luck with grating carrots with the fine disk, but the one that is bigger was fine. i use the fine disk for nuts, chocolate etc, and the bigger one for carrots. the bigger one makes the pieces approximately to what one would get on the regular hand grater for apples. i hope this make sense to you.

Hey Lisa, After my a few tried with beets, it works for us. We have some experience you might like to know regard to how to use our Envy slicer for best results: - Regarding getting a better experience with carrots, zucchini, beets...I remember that the first time we used carrots ourselves, the strips didn't come out from the blade as long strips. Because carrots are hard, often their strips won't be as long as with soft vegetables such as summer squash, zucchini, eggplant, beets, etc. I practiced with zucchini (as you can see on the package) and were quickly able to get nice, long strips with our carrots. Be sure to use fresh carrots, zucchini that are thick enough to fully utilize your slicer blades. - Strongly recommend using fresh and thick veggies enough for best results. If it doesn't work, it might be due to very rarely item which defective during shipping processing. Although this product is very easy to use which is designed for "no-brainer" to use, it might need a little practice depend on various people's desire. Hope this help! -Jessica

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 it will cut raw onion and potato but I have not tried beetroot. It is very easy to clean. I would assume the blade will stay sharp a long time since it is stainless steel. Not sure about the warranty.

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.

No sure. We only use it to cook fresh garden vegetable and meat. So I am not sure.

Yes. For processing raw veggies it takes a little more time, but works great for small batches just fine.

Yes. I used it for carrot, potato, mushrooms. Carrot will be a little difficult because it is more stiff so need more forces.

Yes, you can chop raw carrots. My suggestion is to measure the raw carrots needed before they are chopped. That might seem like an unnecessary suggestion, but when I made the mistake of chopping some things and then measuring, it made a difference in the recipe and not a good one.

I haven't tried it on beets, but I DID try in in some very long zucchini and it worked very well. Very thin strips.

My unit is not as smooth on the outside as on the inside. It won't grate vegetables or eat up sponges without a great deal of effort, but it will damage nail polish if you aren't careful. It would be nice if it were made completely smooth on the outside, but until that happens I will continue using it because it works better than any other colander I have ever used.

I don't know. I tried just chopping carrots, and they jammed up in the blades so badly that I returned it. I wouldn't think meat would work in it.

Absolutely. This is the best one on the market. I've had several. None worked as good as pampered chef's and it's easy to clean. I've used it on all sorts of raw veggies (especially onions) and it does a great job. Cooked vegetables and meats should be a breeze.

I am quite sure that it will juice oranges. This device juices raw beets with little effort so oranges will juice quite well.

I haven't tried veggies. However, I think that based on the way it handles meats that is should do fine with onions, potatoes, celery, beets, etc. Carrots may be a little too hard and tomatoes could be messy.
