How wide & how long are the potatos that it will cut?

we haven't found any it won't cut. to be honest our son loves big fries and we have a harder time finding potatoes as big as we want.(even the supposedly "jumbo" ones). But definately get the suction cups for the feet, unless you plan on mounting it perminately on a board somewhere

The cutting blades are about 3 1\4 inches square, so you can cut a pretty big potato with this unit. Overall it is a very nice heavy duty unit with four blade sizes. Keep in mind these type of slicers work great for potatoes or carrots but not really made to cut sweet potatoes. So I would say nearly all potatoes would fit this cutter just fine. If you had some really gigantic size potatoes you could cut them in half and run them through the slicer.

The potatoes can be as long as will fit into the machine but like mentioned before it takes a lot of force to push it through the smaller sized blades. I had seen videos online (YouTube) showing how to mount it. Makes sense to mount it vertically with the potato coming out the bottom so one can collect in a bowl. This is how I use mine.

This is really not the issue. Very long potatoes will fit but it is very difficult to push them through unless the unit is mounted firmly and you apply brute force. I have found that by soaking the potatoes in water for 20 minutes and using a length no more than 3/4 the opening I get very desirable results without wearing myself out. The larger the cut the easier, smaller cuts will take more effort on a spud that is very long. I hope that helps. I like this unit and use it regularly.

The feed tube is approx. 4 3/4 inches wide. 3/4 of an inch thick is all I ever run, anything thicker and it is almost impossible to turn the handle.I usually cut beef 3x3x1/2 - 3/4 size. I run it through 3 times for chicken fried steak or country fried steak. Run through, turn 1/4 and run through, turn 1/4 and run it through again - it really grows, so you have a large size piece to work with.

A good sized baked potato - 5 to 6 inches long with a good size girth.But the bigger the potato the more effort you need to push it threw.It is a good machine.

You have all dimensions in the slicer description ( 9 1/4 by 23 5/8). The maximum width of cabbage (or something) to cut is 6 1/2. I think this is couple inches more than width of "wide benriner mandolin".

It's an average size unit, probably a foot or so across. I could never get it to trim correctly, however, and sent it back before I could establish it's range. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

The cutting surface is 4-1/4" wide. The entire item is fairly large -- 17-1/2" long when not opened up.

If well mounted on a wall at the proper height I believe the open cutter's mouth would be about seven inches though I do not have it here with me to measure. The mounting is important as resistance against the push will be intense especially with a large firm potato.

2.5" wide, from 1/4" down to "paper thin but, don't buy it! It is too small to slice an average tomato. But, if the law is after you, this machine does a nice job of fingerprint removal.

The cutting surface is approximately 4 1/4 inches. BTW - when I purchased this Mandolin for my wife several years ago it came with a black plastic case. The case is no longer included but you can purchase the mandolin w/case at overstock.com

It's 8in wide & you cut to length.It's good for hamburger patties & pork chops.Steaks & Roast you need wider 11in x 50ft

It is about 1/3 in. great for peeling potatoes and carrots love it, but it is too sharp for little kids.

If you use a potato the exact size of the space inside of the cutter as you push down on the handle the slices are propelled from the other end. Plus you'll want the fries as long as you can possibly get them anyways. I think that photo was staged so people could see what happens in slow motion. Those pieces somewhat eject from the other end and will separate. That's what makes this cutter is a very fast an efficient unit.

I very much doubt it, it won't cut a larger potato unless you cut it in half.

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.

I can definitely say it's strong and sharp enough to cut through a potato. The only issue would be that you'd have to use either smaller potatoes in general, or go through the tedium of double-cutting, lining up the cutter with subsequent cuts if the potato is too large. Strength/sharpness have not been an issue at all with this fun little tool!

It's bigger than that--probably more like 6 inches across with the handles. The cutting mechanism probably is around 3 inches wide or the size of a big apple but I may be wrong since I am going by my visual memory and don't have the thing in front of me.
