Does this cut very large apples without the apples getting stuck in the slicer? The center slicer would need to be about 4-1/2" in diameter.

Not very large apples, but average red and greens it should work fine. I really like this product.

No, the largest slicer did a good job slicing apples, everything else I tried on the other blades was a failure. My mandolin does a great job making julienne strips.

Yes, you just move the slicer blade out of the way. I did this with potatoes and it worked great.

Yes, you can peal the apples without slicing them but it won't core them without slicing them. It works great! I highly recommend one.

I just checked mine, and on mine the blade that slices is adjustable. It can be moved out of the way, so that you only peel and core. You will always core, the coring is part of the frame. So if you did a potato, it would core it. We make sliced apples (similar to Famous Dave's Apples) all the time using this, and it works awesome. Can core, peel, and slice a full apple in about 10 to 15 seconds.

Good peeler must use a medium pine, not large because you would waist the fruit, it slices in a spiral way while it cores

Eggplant may be a little too large for this. I have peeled large apples, potatoes, and yams with no problem.

A small apple....I don't think it will be strong enough to slice it though.

No. It is welded. If the slicing part were removable, it probably would be flimsy. It needs to be firm to tear through the fruit.

If you remove the coreer and the peeler arm, you can slice anything that will stick on the three prongs. I have only done apples and potatoes, but I don't see why it wouldn't do anything that you wanted. There is a thumbscrew to remove the corer at the end of the device, a spring that will allow you to loosen up the peeler so it doesn't peel. This would leave you with only the spiral slicing. I don't believe it would slice all the way through though, since normally it does remove the cor. I have not tried to adjust that but it may be possible.

It does small apples but does take some more of the fruit obviously than it does with larger round apples....we used it on small apples off one of our trees & it worked well.

YES,, You have to lower the blade and adjust it to just touch the side of the apple,,as you turn it just peels and cores all in one!! Works great! Wife got this for Christmas and we used it to peel potatoes and spiral slice some also!!

I was not aware of the re/clear option, so I can't answer this specific question. Do keep in mind that though this smaller slices are nice to have, this one is impossible to cut through very large apples. We also have the eight slice model for use on very large apples.

Yes. It's a wonderful slicer. I love that I can change the size of my slices. I use it all the time and it still works like new.

I used this for apples mainly. I wasn't impressed with the corer tho. It was a little clumsy I tried to peal a orange and almost broke it. For apple uncored it work great.

It's about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. You have to be careful about not pressing too hard or you will take out the bottom of the apple!

I think the cutting blade it too large for an apple. It would be difficult to hold the apple while cutting with this tool.
