Can it slice through a large Apple?

As long as the apple is not bigger than the inner circle of the cutter, yes it will slice through. I have had no issues with this.

yes, you can cut it, I had to as well. A good pair of scissors help it is a little thick and will pull a bit. I used a large size it worked great.

No it is going to take the center out of it so no you cant but it is good on apples just used it last night to do a bag of granny smith apples love it.

It should be called the "hinged pusher"; you flip that cover out of the way, push the slicer down over the apple. The apple goes all the way through except for the width of the blades. You flip the cover/pusher around and push the apple out of the slicer. Do a few apples, it works great!

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

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.

The pruner has cut branches up to an inch thick. Haven't tried it on anything larger.

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.

You know I haven't tried it but I have thought of it, there have been huge apples and smaller apples I have used in the slicer as long as you line up the core it still works the same ... It can do the same with other fruits big n small as well !! Go for it

Yes, it won't just blow through it, but it will cut it. If you're cutting a lot of it, a band saw would work better.

It adjusts to different sizes. I've done both larger and smaller apples only. I don't see why it wouldn't also peel a pear.

Not really the only thing you can do is adjust the depth of the blade so it doesn't cut as deep....it will leave some peel on the ends but you save a ton of the Apple. Uneven apples and large apples don't do as well with this peeler. I have done potatoes and small apples and it works great.

I'd say yes on the arborvitae, though of course it depends on the size. I've been able to cut through very large laurel bush branches...they're really woody and tough. Maybe dime size in diameter? Probably even bigger too. It does a great job for what I've used it for.

It would not be able to because it does not open. The item to be cut needs to be flat enough to go through the cutting part. It is sharp enough, but won't work on anything round like pipe.

It will slice (in a cylinder fashion) and core the apple at the same time. It will not cut the apple into cubes.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

Definitely sharp enough to cut it, unless you're cutting extremely unripe avocados... even then it should still break through the skin and avocado meat, it just may take a little more push.
