What is the inside diameter, how large an apple will fit through this cutter? Does it disassemble for cleaning?

The base (white cutting base which gets obnoxious to have to use to get the slices out) comes off completely. As far as I can tell the rest does not disassemble for washing. I wash it with a scrub brush and run through top shelf of the dishwasher. The part that gets annoying to me is the switching between sizes - it makes it not so sturdy where the plastic is supposed to "lock" in. While I don't know the exact diameter, it is large and we go through many apples and I've never had trouble cutting any with this - so that is a plus!

You can get a pretty large apple through the slicer, but better a tall apple than a wide one. The bottom plastic cover does separate from the corer to disassemble for cleaning. The corer blades do not disassemble for cleaning. The inside diameter I was referring to is the round hole in the center that cuts out the core. It is larger than normal on this model. This is definitely a higher quality corer/slicer and I definitely recommend it.

The apple slicer does not disassemble for cleaning and the inside diameter is 3 1/2 inches. Great tool!

Don't really have an answer but I've often found huge variances in prices among the different vendors offering products on Amazon. I have the red one with charcoal gray solid color bottom and it functions very well. Some apples are more resistant to the blades than others. In that case I bang the loaded apple and cutter against my cutting board. I'm really happy with this purchase since I love to spread peanut butter on thin apple slices and this makes light work of the preparation.

2.5" wide, from 1/4" down to "paper thin but, don't buy it! It is too small to slice an average tomato. But, if the law is after you, this machine does a nice job of fingerprint removal.

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.

The blade itself is 1/4 inch wide. The blade arm is set on a spring and you hold that to the apple with your left hand while turning the crank with your right hand. I am able to peel the biggest apples with no problem. I don't use the corer/slicer because it doesn't core the apples quite as much as I want them cored - it produces a core of less than 1" - and the slices it produces are too thin for most all of my recipes. But that's true of all corer/slicers, none of them will do exactly what you want done with the apple! So I use this gadget for peeling only and it saves a lot of time, I core and slice by hand.

If I understand what you want to do, this is how I think it could be done. Don't push the outer tube thru, twisting as you push to desired depth, remove tool and probably using a thin sharp knife, cut out the core to be removed, probably in pieces to desired depth. There is no part of the tool that will cut the core, as it is intended to go all the way through so the plunger can then push the core out the bottom of the apple, etc.

The blade diameter is large enough to cover the inside of most medium pineapples. An apple is too small and the blade would go beyond the peal. The blades are very sharp and you have to use caution when holding the pineapple to that the blade doesn't go through the pineapple rind and cut you.

They make seperate inexpensive tools to slice apples, I think this would be too big for an apple.

It will probably fit the "cutie" oranges. Any bigger than that no but this is great tool to have in the kitchen. I just made a homemade Lemon Pie and using this for the fresh lemon juice was a breeze. LOVE IT!.

It is not heavy, but it is made of sturdy metal. It seems a standard size, I have used it with very large and small apples successfully. I am pleased with it, it does the job.

I don't find it any bigger than other fancy can openers. It fits fine in my regular sized narrow kitchen drawer with plenty of room to spare.

I try to find the most regularly shaped apples for that reason. Sometimes, however, the nicest ones are not so perfect in shape. I figure if I have to do some touch-up it is still better than doing it all by hand. My issue with this device is that there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the thickness of the slices, and that is something I would like to be able to do.

Do be honest, I haven't tried raw apples, but I guess if you chopped them up small enough it should work on the larger blade. Sorry, I couldn't be more positive.

I dont have a ruler or measuring tape, but I will do my best to describe it. Its nearly the same size as a dunkin donuts coffee cup lid. Almost exact. It seems like you would be able to fit large apples in it, but if they are really wide than u might not be able to. I have relatively big hands, but I have to squeeze it thru to get it in there, so it may be a little tricky getting them out. It is also JUST big enough to fit a can of walmart brand albacore tuna thru. Quite literally a perfect fit. As if the mouth was formed around the can itself lol. I hope this helps.

No idea. Long ago used and gone. Best guess is no larger than 1/8 inch and perhaps somewhat smaller than that. They were used for cut up cubes of fruit for chocolate fondue and handled the cubes well.

The tool is about 7.5 in. long and the peeler is about 2.75 in. wide. It has a standard peeler on one side and a julienne peeler on the other side. It has a metal handle that is oval and about 1 in. wide. It feels good in the hand. I used it to peel and cut zucchini and carrots, and I found it very easy to use. It is quite sharp so you need to be careful and use a fork and non slippery surface when cutting food, or you could get hurt. My mother had severe arthritis and she would have had a difficult time using this tool, but someone with minor problems would be able to use this in my opinion. It does work easier than a standard peeler. It is very smooth that way. I imagine I will get even faster as I use it and get used to it.
