Does this work for sweet potatoes?

Yes, but you have to microware for 1 minute on high. And then cut a slice off of the blade end so the blades get start cut through the skin easier.

Yes as long as you par cook them first (either boil or microwave). You don't need to cook very long just soften them up a bit. The other trick for this item is to spray PAM on the blades. I had trouble with regular potatoes so contacted the company and they told me both these tricks.

No, it doesn't - they are too hard for this tool. I returned it because of that

I used it on a yam (sweet potato) and it worked fine. I did use a glove to hold it so I wouldn't cut myself. Cut a piece off a rounded veggie so it "sits" more firmly on your cutting board. The first slice of the peeler was hard but it got progressively easier.

Of course it will. Use it in the slicing (or wavy slicer) position and you can slice raw sweet potatoes just fine. They're a little bit too hard to use the julienne disc, however.

Works good for regular potatoes. Not so good for sweet potatoes. works good for the price. I think if I needed a new one I would get something a little more durable that provided some leverage to make it easier to doo harder things like sweet potatoes. I find it works best with larger potatoes that will not move while you are cutting them.

To be honest I have not tried it with Sweet potatoes yet. I would think it would because it is pretty sturdy and if it will core an apple, I'm sure it will cut a sweet potato.

Hello Paulina , yes it will peel a sweet potato , but the slices won't be wide enough . Your slices won't be big enough to make chips . I hope I helped you . It's a great peeler .

Yes, it can be used for sweet potatoes. There is a recipe book that accompanies the pet treat maker, or you can use your own recipes.

We do often do sweet potatoes, but have done them a few times and yes it does work well. I love mine so much I bought one for my brother. I'm sure you will enjoy yours.

Absolutely not. In fact, I used mine today and made a delicious sweet potato. It was bigger than usual so I added a few extra minutes. My problem is I never know what temp to use as it says do not cook on high so I use 50-60% power.

Depends on the age of the sweet potato, the older it gets, the more dried-out and hard it gets. If it's too hard you may bend your blades. The trick to cutting a sweet potato, is to half or quarter it first which lessons the friction against the blades.

I've never tried it with potatoes. Let me give it a try tomorrow and see if I agree with the other person who posted a comment. Thx for asking.

I would not recommend this product for potatoes. I would suggest a mandolin

I made two sweet potatoes, and it worked very well. You need to follow the directions. I am pleased with the toaster oven.

if you don't do it too long or too fast, it will work for hash brown potatoes but not for cubed potatoes. This shreds things completely if you do it too fast. I found it doesn't do tomatoes or things with the squishy inside very well.

If the blades are sharp enough. Sweet potatoes are much more dense than russets. I have found sweet potatoes difficult to process on a lesser expensive mandoline.

It works fine for sweet potatoes. The key is mounting it solidly to a wall so that you can put maximum torque on the Levert without fear of it coming loose. If you do that it will cut through just about any spud workout issue. If it's a huge potatoe consider slicing in half.

I have not tried sweet potatoes, but I believe you can. I tried it on beets and its the same type as a sweet potatoes. This juicer seems strong enough to get a sweet potatoes juiced up :)
