Hi Emma, it grates carrots to a fine paste. We do not have attachment that will slice. Hope that helps - Brian Vaisnoras President Grandma Anns

I haven't used it for carrots as yet...only coconuts but it grates them really really fine...so carrots will be a breeze......there are only two attachments though...I recommend that immediately after every use u take the attachment of and clean it...otherwise than that it is an excellent product

If you want small round disks, you jab the carrot standing up into the pins of the handle. A long carrot is too unstable and will flip off. So you have to cut the carrot into maybe a 2"-3" piece, jab it on standing up and try to cut it. It's easier at a bit of an angle. If you want long strips, jab the carrot on sideways and drag the length of the carrot across the blade. And if you are talking baby carrots forget it. I've tried. Honestly, a food processor with a feed tube is the best way to go to quickly slice carrots.

Hi,I have not tried it but I am sure it would work in principle--there is plenty of power in the motor and nothing that would preclude running vegetables through it. However, I am not sure this is a great use for the grater. The hopper is small and so the quantities of vegetable would be pretty tiny. Also, the blade of the drum is quite fine, finer than I would ever use with a vegetable. So I guess the summary would be that it would work in a pinch but there are many better solutions, some that do not need a motorized unit and are still quite effective.

Carrots were no problem, but I wouldn't go beyond. Actually, I wouldn't bother buying at all. I broke mine on a butternut squash rendering it useless.

I have used it for baby carrots and it worked wonders!!!! Not sure about the other greens...

Yes Emily, you can do one carrot at a time. I purchased it for making zucchini bread.

NO, I bought one and I am very disappointed. It is very hard to cut through raw potatoes and carrots. Very dissatisfied.

I purchased it as a gift for my aunt, I believe it comes with 2 different size grating drums. One very fine and one that grates to a shredded cheese consistency. My personal opinion is that If you look at a food processor they sell discs that work well for grating. I have a food processor that can do many different things like puree, blend, make dough, grate and slice based on the attachment. They cost a bit more, but I cook for a living so I'd rather have 1 piece of equipment capable of doing many thing rather than cluttering space with one tool that does one thing. Hope this helps

I put baby carrots in on their sides. If I have a single carrot I don't have to press too much, but if I have more I make sure the hinges are lined up and then carefully hit the lid down and they chop immediately. I've had it for years and it has held up through the abuse. Love this thing!

I only use it for cheeses. They aren't as hard as carrots , radishes etc. I think it would be s little difficult. Really not made for it.. Great for cheese though

Yes and very uniformly, just slice your potato, place on the grid and go. This machine has done everything I ever wanted it to and then some. Enjoy! I did raw potatoes with no problem. It does carrots and they are denser than a potato.

I would try it, Laurel. I needed something to grate my carrots more finely for my cole slaw and this has been a terrific solution.

my advise is this . the grater is too small and too much trouble to use on such small amounts

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.

Yes you can it does a good job with Potatoes Carrots Onion if you cut it in half first, hope that helps�I have just reread this, I did not mention tha I cut potatoes into for or five rings before chopping it only takes a couple of minutes depending on their size also Carrots if they are large I cut them about 4 times and medium onions in half.

It is definitely strong/sharp enough to fut through a potato. I do it all the time. On carrots I cut and then roll so that the cuts are in opposite sides (a bit OCD here). The trick is to hold it with the thumb and first finger above the actual blade. Easy peasy.

Yes. It's not great for carrots unless they are some really big carrots. It's awesome for onions and bigger veggies like zucchini or cucumber.
