does it cut potatoes and cheese easily?

I havent tried potatoes or cheese but Ive used it on many apples and zucchinis and it cuts quickly and easily! I would think it would be the same with potates.

Cuts potatoes & cheeses just fine (but the very soft cheese types will gum up things so not recommended)

I use it on all my vegetables, it does an excellent job on all of them but I have never used it on cheese.

It does for awhile, but the metal in the blade is so cheap, it loses it's edge, & can't hold one if you try to sharpen it yourself.

It's wide enough to shred a large block if cheese held sideways. It might work with potatoes. However a box shredder would be better. This is best for grating a small amount over a short period of time.

Absolutely! Great at making thin potato slices and lots of other veggies. We use ours almost daily.

I have found that I do need to stop and start a bit when slicing through a block of cheddar cheese fresh out of the refrigerator (not freezer). This is not a problem at all--just my two cents. Overall, I would recommend this slicer.

They can be sliced, however, "easy" is a term that depends on one's point of view. I will say this; the potatoes are fairly firm, so you will need a reasonably sharp knife to slice them.

Yes. I use it to shred cheese all the time! The harder the cheese, the easier it is, so soft cheeses like Mozzarella, I usually freeze the cheese a bit first.

you can definitely 'julienne' potatoes with this item; can cut many 'styles'

I have used it to slice very hard cheese, but soft cheese will not work. The grater blade works well to grate all types of cheese.

Yes it will slice frozen meat or cheese. Cheese is the real test as it is so dense.

I would not recommend it for hard cheese as the cheese would stick too much to the blade.Cleaning the blade also would be a little more dangerous since you would have to take theblade out to clean. The unit works well for typical vegetables as with any other slicer of thisnature.

It cuts cheese with no problem! i even buy the big wheels of longhorn and it cuts it perfectly, i use my slicer on everything from meats and cheeses to veggies and even frozen meats! trust me you would be quite pleased with this machine! even cuts paper thin!

It does! We slice pickles, potatoes, roasts, and cheese. It all turns out fine. I read in another review to just take it slow and I have to agree. It's not an industrial slicer that can whip right through things, but for home use, a steady pace does the job well.

I believe at the answer would be no. I takes strength to cut the potato. We use it to cut jalapenos, onions and other smaller vegetables. Works fine for the smaller vegetables.

My opinion would be that this would not be a good cheese grater or slicer. A softer cheese would stick to the mandoline and a harder cheese would not slice but grate, but not in a good way.

Yes, you can cut cheese with these knives but they don't really work any better than a butter knife and not nearly as well as a cheese slicer. They really excel at slicing things that are not sticky or hard, such as vegetables or meats.

I love it , it does not cut large potatoes medium it cuts good . It is worth the price I gave it 5 stars .

I never tried it but it does chop very nicely and I would think if you cut the potatoes in pieces it would chop them.
