I definitely want to try this gadget with zucchini and squash, but has anyone ever tried to use it with eggplant?

Sure, the slicer will work with eggplant, if you use a smaller eggplant. The general idea is that it works well with any firm vegetable...and it should be used with a vegetable that is round..to get the turning action....Deb

I have not but it sounds like something I would like to try. I'm sure it would work, it would just have to be sliced in half most likely.

My experience was pretty bad. I ended up throwing mine away. The blade wouldn't cut through any vegetable with a skin (e.g. eggplant, zucchini, etc) without tearing the vegetable. Even after I got the blade professionally sharpened. I would suggest a mandoline with a blade set at an angle.

Yes, I have and it worked great. I would recommend using a hgher concentration than on the bottle-- 3 tbls per gallon, not 2. Also, be sure to wet tops and undersides of leaves and you will probably have to reapply to make sure they stay controlled. Lots of luck-- squash bugs are tough to eradicate.

I have only used it for celery and it is amazing! Check the individual instructions for different vegetables.

With correct spacing, I had wonderful harvests of green onions, carrots, lettuce and green beans. My zucchini and squash were probably too crowded but I still got a pretty good harvest from the zucchini, not so much the squash. I planted corn and I did get maybe 1/2 dozen ears but they were undersized. I also managed to get two pumpkins as well. I am doubling the size of the garden this year.

Greetings, Thank you for your email. We have not tried this with eggbeaters, but it is certainly a good idea for you to try. Best regards, Begum9

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

I have used spinach and kale. I found that if I chop them up first using my hand chopper from Pampered Chef, it works better. Otherwise, the leaves aren't blended real well. Even then, there is still some texture. I am a newbie, though, and have only been doing it for a few weeks and have no experience with any other similar gadgets.

Sorry Lou,We've never seen an electric eggplant peeler but the Oxo Good Grips Peeler does a fine job on eggplant.

I haven't tried that, but I think if you went at a slower speed than I do for greens the zucchini would hold up well.

I have not done those veggies yet but I am amazed it cuts and liquifies unpeeled apple pieces and pineapple chunks. I'm going to the grocery today and get some veggies to try it but I have no expectations it will not work. QVC had or has a great buy on another version of the brand and product. You might check it out...but I just love my Ninja so far.Just got back from grocery and made a veggie smoothy. Diced peppers, celery hearts, cilantro, kale, spinach and 1/2 banana (necessary) 1/2 large tomato. Perfect. Pulverized and made into a smoothy depending on how much water you put in it. I used about 1/2 c because of the tomato. (one floret of Broccoli. I hear go lite on Broccoli additions) I have not done those veggies yet but I am amazed it cuts and liquifies unpeeled apple pieces and pineapple chunks.

I've used it on butternut and acorn squash with no problems at all... that being said, pumpkin is a bit tougher. I'd say it would work just fine, though.

I usually do firmer vegetables, like root vegetables, but have used it on yellow squash and zucchini and it worked well. It's pretty sharp.

Yes you can! I used it on watermelons and butternut squash and it worked fine.

It's for the short way. Potatoes don't work well with this one from my experience. It works great for the softer veggies like squash and onions

Not sure if peeler works on butternut squash since I've never tried to peel veges with a hard shell skin.

Yes, I have used it for spinach and other greens, but they have been fresh and crisp. Don't think it would work with greens that were even a little limp.
