Anyone know how this compares to the Vidalia Chop Wizard, other than the addition of a slicing blade?

The Vidalia is much better - see my review. I returned this one and bought the Vidalia immediately afterwards.

Much easier and SAFER to change thickness on slices and dices. It is just a much better unit. I have both; the New one with the locking slice adjustment and the V-1001. The new one we use almost daily at home the v-1001 we took to our cabin and it is perfect as we don't do as much fancy cooking up there.

I have two separate ones. One makes slices and one makes julienne cuts. It is worth buying both as it makes life a whole lot easier.

I preferred the slicer that wasn't adjustable as this one tends to move thickness whilst in use as there is no locking mechanism. The non adjustable is the same brand, make sure you get the thin slicer and yes it will do your job I use mine all the time I love it!

Almost identical as far as I can tell. it works great for chopping salads, the inside is nicely textured so the food doesn't slip around. the Chopper is a little different, but as far as I can tell it works just as good.

I just purchased one and that is my main concern. I don't believe that the blade would damage my pot but the metal grip around the blade will ...for sure. Now, if I transfer my food into a plastic bowl before I use it...I would avoid that issue. I need to decide if that is what I am willing to do. Also, I want to use the chopper to make a paste from ginger and garlic ...for my kimchi recipe and I wonder if that would work.

Hi Julia, In my oppinion the "Spiral Slicer" is more of a domestic utensil, and very good. The "Vertical Turner/ Slicer" is more robust and suitable for professional use by chefs etc. They are both great products! Cheers Brian Thompson Australia

Have not cut peperoni, but have shaved semi-froze raw beef and American cheese you could see through and that was with the serrated blade. Have not tried the smooth one yet. As long as you know it is a home slicer and not the one in the super market you should be very happy with the 615. It will slice down to less than a 1/4" heal. I have also sliced very nutty and course fruit fruit cakes in 3/16" slices and did not tear up.

I guess one chops things better than the other. The double blade is better i think.

I've only used the chopping function once to make the soup recipe that it came with.... and that was a few months ago. What I recall, it was like a runny salsa. Sorry I can't be more help.

It has two blades, but I have been using it for months now and it is FAST and thorough. I mostly use on it vegetables, and you do have to make sure they are pre-cut before you put them in the chopper. So, for example, I just made split pea soup yesterday. My recipe calls for an entire onion, so I skinned the onion and cut it into quarters. This is one kitchen tool I will never do without, because it's almost as good as a food processor for most softer foods (haven't tried to make cookie crusts with it yet, but I have a food processor for that) and it's a LOT easier to clean. I put all the parts in the dishwasher and it's clean. Brilliant!

I have never tried chopping those items, but it has no problems with large pieces of other vegetables such as onions so I would thing it would work fine.

it sharpens really well. You'll be able to slice through any vegetable with little to no effort...just glide right through.

It has a shallow radiused hollow grind with a secondary edge grind. In my opinion this allows the knife to be robust enough for chopping yet have a thin enough edge with for slicing.

There is no comparison, from the stainless steel blades to the tremendous amount of torque you can apply to the blades with the large handles. I have had mine over a year, I feed raw to my pups, so it cuts chicken backs and necks ten times easier then the huge so called poultry scissors. Depends what you use them for, but in the kitchen then are the last word in my book. I am using the white handle ones.

Hi Susan- I havent used all the blades yet, but there is a blade called the adjustable slicer, which I used to slice thin lemon slices- it should work well with zucchini as well as the fries blades which julienes a bit larger. hope this helps

I've only used a few times for zucchini. I think a food processor would chop it more. I think of a mandolin for slices. This spiralizer give you noodles, long noodles. Really cool. Kind of vague, hope this helps.
