Does it slice (like zucchini & cucumbers)? Does it shred (like lettuce & cabbage)? Thank you.

It doesn't slice. But is a great chopper and mincer. I am very happy with the appliance, in fact I am using my second one.

I don't think it slices because it only had one blade. It will shred lettuce and cabbage very nicely. Check to see if you can purchase additional blades for additional slicing Otherwise, it's ,neat, fast, easy to clean, DW safe and tub is a good size.

No. There are no attachments. It is an oversized mini chopper. Onions,garlic, cheeses etc. the only way to control the size of the mincing is to pulse it less. This machine is all plastic. I returned it.

I don't see why not it will shred the zucchini I don't know if shape matters.

I'm not sure what you mean by a V-slicer and I don't think I've used one so I can't say. The julienne blades don't work well with harder vegetables. It's a shame because that's what we really wanted it for but...oh, well. I know others have said that it does work well so perhaps it is our inexperience with it. It's our first. We will try again and let you know!

Using the shredding disc that comes with it does a good job. We have used that disc to shred zucchini to make zucchini chocolate chip cake and zucchini bread and it comes out delicious.

Make sure that the sharp edges are turned into the vegetable, then you just go up & down, the zucchini should start shredding . If it's not happening it's probably a dud

Yes Irene, I have and the double bladed chopper cuts through it like butter. It chops veggies effortlessly!

As long as works (not long befor it breaks) it does a good job of lettuce and other greens. I would recommend you find a cheeper one that would make you happy. I have a 10.00 dollar one that has lasted for years tha does as good!

It shreds big and small. Does waffle fry style cuts and regular fry cuts. It does not dice. You would have to have a chopper to do something like that. I love this machine as it does cut my time in half.

It will chop it into small pieces. However, it does come with a small mandolin attachment that might work. I usually quarter a cabbage and use a chef's knife to cut the cabbage in thin strips. It's pretty easy and quick.

The julienne blades work very well with harder vegetables. I prefer it to a v-slicer as it seems to not jam up.

This is an awesome shredder. It does not slice. If you like hash browns this would be good for making them.

It comes with 2 blades one for grating the other for slices. I use mine for shredding cabbage and carrots for slaw. I grate cheddar cheese right into the bowl that I'm using. I use the slicer with parmigiana cheese. I use this tool so often that when we travel in our rv I take it with me. Wonderful to make the slaw as you "shoot" it right into the serving bowl to mix.

Does this accessory pack come with a piece that will shred cabbage. I wore out my last one (not a KA). I make lots of eggrolls and need to shred about 6 heads for each batch. Any opinion is greatly appreciated.

YES it will shred it, However, you must load the machine lightly with live tree branches, plants, brush and or fruits or it will clog. Each year, I shred whatever is left in the garden (tomatos, onions, and other foods) and it is ripped/shredded. I normally wait till these items die before shredding these items because the machine then gets all wet inside which helps rust to take hold and i want the machine to last longer. So I usually wait till things are dried up and dead before i shred them. Remember you cannot clean or dry the inside of the machine so its always best to shred dry/dead items. I have also shredded 4 inch 2x4 pieces and it chops them up also but beware if you do that because it will spit pieces out.

I haven't been able to shred cheese, but it will chop it very fine. I use a mandolin slicer with a cheese shredder attachment. I did not receive a snap on cheese shredder with mine.

After using this mandolin on cucumbers and onions, I think you would get a really thin ribbon of zucchini. I believe it would cut the zucchini just fine, but it wouldn't be very thick.
