does it dice up vegetables for soups

If you mean 1/4"-1/2" diced pieces, no, it does a nice job with sliced veggies for soups, stews, etc. If I need diced veggies for any recipe I dice them myself using a Chef's knife (8").

Yes, It does everything from slicing to dicing to pureeing. I make salsa in it all the time.

I have not done that, but it is wonderful for all the things I use it for such as for soups and anything else otherwise requiring chopping. You have to be careful not to over pulse it as it will actually liquefy things. Saves a great deal of time. Great kitchen tool.

Yes,as long as there is at least 4 oz. of water in the pitcher. I use carrot hearts so I don't have to chop, dice or anything. Be sure to read all the instructions first.

No it's not a dicer, it's a slicer. But a slap chop does dice onions very well.

One of the blades is a grid of small squares so if the item you want dices is cut to the height you want (i.e. an onion would have to be cut into 1/4"-=1/2" discs and then placed in product to cut into small squares) - it's the same blade you use for making sticks, but then you want the veggie/fruit to be as tall as you want the sticks to be. We diced celery, onions, bell peppers and apples so far and they came out great!! Hope this helps.

This is a great chopper for uncooked veggies. Do bear in mind that it chops these foods into small chunks and the more times you pull the string the finer the chunks become. If you are wanting a shred or thin slices like for scalloped potatoes, etc., this is not the right machine. But if you're looking for "chopped", this is the one.

I haven't tried veggies. However, I think that based on the way it handles meats that is should do fine with onions, potatoes, celery, beets, etc. Carrots may be a little too hard and tomatoes could be messy.

It does chop veggies - but it does a better job mincing them, like Harlan Harris says. I used it to "chop" celery, carrots, tomato, bell pepper, cauliflower, and broccoli with ease! Softer things like tomatoes don't do too well in there - it turns out like a puree.

I'm not sure. I use it primarily for my green smoothie. It has a soup button, but never used it.

Yes. It comes with a small holder. Does not hold veggies very well when they get small though, but be careful the blade is very sharp

You do not have to make any knife cuts. I put a detailed "how to dice" in my review, I'll copy it over here: It seems some folks haven't figured out how to dice with it. I make Indian food and the curry sauce takes lots and lots of onions. I can dice an onion in 30 seconds with this (safely and not hurrying). Cut the top off of the onion. Peel off the outer layers that you don't want. Push the bottom of the onion into the holder. The bottom is the part with the roots - you can't slice the last little bit in the holder, so don't cut the bottom off the onion during prep. It will end up being left in the holder and you can just throw it away. That way you don't have to worry about the last bit left in the holder. Lay the julienne blade flat on your counter all by itself, not in the slicer. The blades will be facing up. Slide the onion, in the holder, across the julienne blade - this is the prep slice. Put the julienne blade in the slicer. Turn the onion 45 degrees and slice it - it will come out diced, then turn it a 1/4 turn and slice, turn and slice, turn and slice - the whole onion comes out diced beautifully. The same can be done with potatoes and tomatoes. I seriously can dice up 6 onions in 3-4 minutes (after I peel the top layer and chop the ends off). There isn't any time for tears to even start. The holder looks like it is designed to only go down to the blade one way - with the wide part running down the rails but it doesn't catch even if you have the narrow sides parallel with the rails. So just switch back and forth for dices. No need to make knife cuts in the veggies.

I have been very pleased with this product so far. It perfectly blended boiled cauliflower when making a soup, so I am sure it will do the items you mentioned. You might have to mash them a bit with the blender, while blending.

I have used mine to cut 'paper' thin for meats. I have not tried vegetables yet.

I use it for cabbage, carrots, onion, potato, any hard vegetable. No problem.

You'd need to slice your vegetable into manageable sections first, e.g an onion into quarters before you can dice it.

Yes. I've had no trouble with this. I love this blender; it's great for making soups.
