What is the min and max widths of slices? I'm looking for 1mm and .5 inch on the same device (5/16 &amp; 3/8 are too small), and can also cut tomatoes.

This is a great slicer but will not cut slices that wide Also, tomatoes do not do the best, because the slices are thin and they tend to fall apart.

I thought it would be too small but it's actually a nice size for quick jobs; a small onion or tomato, especially grape tomatoes which I like to cut in half. It works well also for herbs and garlic on my small cutting board.

I bought mine as a gift from my mom. Because she kept threatening to steal the one that I already had that was just a little bit larger than this one. I've had the original one for probably almost 30 years and it still can slice of tomato. The one I have is slightly larger than the one I ordered but my mom loves it we both use ours very often. Have never sharpened the blade

A regular tomato.......1/4 inch? We've never had a problem with this and we've beeen slicing tomatoes for a long time. How cool is this that you're asking? Good luck; I think you should buy it and you'll like it!

It only slices one direction, which is fine for my needs. My disappointment in this product is in it's "adjustability." I was not happy with the amount that this slicer could really be adjusted - I could really not see must difference in the size of slices at all. I may have miss-read the description, but I was really expecting a much greater spread in the size of slices available to me.

I will have to look at the specs to answer your question. However if you are looking for a new slicer, look no further. I will sell you mine. I have never used it, it is brand new. If you are interested I'm sure that we can make a good deal. Contact me@ yozjeff@aol.com.

I read on Amazon that they were between 1.4 & 1.8 inches wide. I've had excellent results with my bread slicer and spatulas. With the knife, the longer the easier to slice through good bread.

If you are going to slice apples, I recommend the Jumbo. I really like ours, but it is too small for apples or many onions I have sliced. I will likely get a Jumbo also.

it's really meant to be a basic slicer. I guess you could lay a carrot or small potato "sideways" and make slices and then cut them into julienne pieces, but that may be a more advanced cut. However, if you only want thin 'shreds' and the shape isn't important, it could certainly do that on the thinnest setting.

I sliced an onion on both settings. The thick slices were 7 mm (1/4"), and the thin slices were 2 mm (less than 1/8").

I have the Jumbo slicer - not certain on "White"? looks axsacly like the one pictured to the left. I can measre if you preffer... I want to say the thickest slice is a good 1/4" or larger. I can say with great confidance , this is a wonderful tool that I cannot belive how much time it saves and the quality is outstanding.

Quarter them, smaller pieces work best. Make sure it fits in the blade area only with no overhang. Give it a sharp close and it works great. My chopper is the only way I will dice onions. So much quicker and easier.

This slicer comes with a 3.5mm and a 7mm julienne blade insert. Thank you for pointing out the error in the description, we will be sure to contact Amazon to get that corrected!

I haven't sliced either onions or tomatoes with mine, but there is little doubt it would slice tyhem with ease. Unless you were going to slice large quantities, however, I wouldn't go thru the process of cleaning it just to slice a couple of tomatoes or onions.

The slices are quite thin...I have sliced apples to add to salads...it worked well for this. I really like this product as it replaces using a mandolin.

There's pretty good space between the trays. I purchased the smaller model first, but you really have to keep slices thin with that one. The larger model is definately the way to go. Using a mandoline, you can use the largest setting, which seems to be 1/4 inch thick. You can halve cherry tomatoes and there is enough space for those (not so in the smaller model - the cherry's need to be cut into thirds). There's always the option to take every other tray out to create more room as well. Hope this helps.

The adjustable slicers are not double-edged so they cut only on the stroke away from the handle. The blade is fixed in place and the "table" on the handle end adjusts up and down to provide the different thicknesses, 0.5, 1.3, 2.0 and 3.0 mm. The double-edged slicers cut as the food is moved in both directions at 1.5 mm thickness. I prefer the adjustable one, but the 1.5 mm is a good compromise. Watch the videos provided by other reviewers. They both cut quickly and very good, including a tiny slice off a finger! Your bleeding may vary. ;~)
