No I have not tried the other attachments. I pretty much just use it to dice onions, tomatoes and garlic. I am sorry that I was not that much help.

I just cut potatoes for fries...I use one attachment for cube potatoes for hash, burritos, etc....i like all the three you mentioned above cubed....if you want to cut fries you need another attachment and I do not think it is available with this unit.

don't know about the noodles, but used it with apples. Sweet potatoes sounds great and regular potatoes work great.

It works fine for sweet potatoes. The key is mounting it solidly to a wall so that you can put maximum torque on the Levert without fear of it coming loose. If you do that it will cut through just about any spud workout issue. If it's a huge potatoe consider slicing in half.

Yes, you can cut sweet potatoes. It takes more patience as a sweet potato is harder in its composition than a softer white potatoes and at times it will jam a bit. I cut sweet potatoes for custom dog food that I make and I have never gotten through a batch (20lbs) with out having to poke jammed potatoes from the blade. Patience and you'll be good. When I make large batchs (40+ lbs of potatoes) I use a hand French Fry Cutter / Potato Cutter as it is far easier with out the jam issue. I have the Nemco 56450A-1 - Monster FryKutter - Tabletop Mount. I have it mounted on a wall in the garage (Vertically) as this is easier for me to press down using my body strength for more leverage. Works like a charm. Yes, you can cut sweet potatoes. It takes more patience as a sweet potato is harder in its composition than a softer white potatoes and at times it will jam a bit.

Slice the potato lengthwise in half (I like to use Russet Potatoes). Then slice into quarter inch width slices; slice each one again to get a square french fry. The fries are meant to be "short". They are not the long fries you get at the store. Hope that helps.

Sorry I do not know if it can be used for candy or deep fry. We only use it for smoking mea.

I've sliced sweet potatoes and found it best to use smaller potatoes or cut them in half. You will have better control of the blade.

I have used beef tallow to fry french fries and it worked just fine. Just make sure the tallow is rendered.

Yes it did a lovely job. But the more rustic setting has become our new favorite. Love the machine. It has it limitations,but if you don't try and force too big or too hard (frozen meats) or items, it fabulously . We have used the potato attachment on cooked: cauliflower, parsnips, sweet potatoes and carrots. It works so quickly you have to take care not to over work the veggies.

I have not tried it, but it grates carrots very well, so it should work fine. You would just have to cut the sweet potato into thinner pieces to fit. I use the red one for carrots, as I find the orange one to grate them too small.

Works good for regular potatoes. Not so good for sweet potatoes. works good for the price. I think if I needed a new one I would get something a little more durable that provided some leverage to make it easier to doo harder things like sweet potatoes. I find it works best with larger potatoes that will not move while you are cutting them.

If you slice the zucchini the long way, the 'noodles' come out out long and thin, just like spaghetti. I have not tried it on sweet potatoes, because they're too high in carbs--but the blades do seem sharp enough to cut a sweet potato, if you put enough pressure on it.

I have mostly put in yogurt based products. Applesauce (not too thick) seems to work ok. I have found anything with a runny texture and no chunks will work fine. You may just need to put the sweet potatoes in a blender or food processor and add more liquid to it to make it smooth and runny. I've run into the same issue as you with these. I have to admit I like refillable pouches better for this exact reason.
