Has anyone used this to slice up other fruit, such as peaches, limes, lemons, etc.? There are other tools designed for each fruit but can we use one?

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

No. It is welded. If the slicing part were removable, it probably would be flimsy. It needs to be firm to tear through the fruit.

I pick up small fruits (cherry I think) that are about an inch give or take. I also use it to pick up a small apple, 2-2 1/2 inches. If the acorns are in this range, your good. If they are smaller than that, there is another smaller version of this same tool meant for nuts and whatnot.

Just went and tried it out on a carrot and an apple. It cut right through the carrot just fine and imprinted the hello kitty design really well. The apple worked well too. I'm not sure how well it would work on softer fruits. Hope this helps.

So far I've only tried it on one over-ripe peach as a test and it did slightly smash it. It was still better than slicing it. I'm hoping it will make preparing a fresh peach pie quicker but I haven't tried it on a blanched & peeled peach yet. I'm hoping to have time this weekend!

Not that I'm aware of. It is made out of steel so it can take so larger pieces of fruit, unlike the plastic one I had. That one was fine for small lemons or limes but did not have the strength for oranges. Warranty or not I'm very happy to add this to my arsenal of kitchen tools.

I would think no...the skin is too thick. It slices think skinned fruits and veggies wonderfully.

I haven't tried it, but seems like a good idea. This has been a very useful tool. I use it a lot to slice eggs, mushrooms, and strawberries. Saves a lot of time!

I have picked peaches, apples and pears. The tines are close enough to pick lemons. I've never seen a lemon on a tree. are the hard to get off?

I have never used it for limes that small but looking closely at the spot you place the fruit it seems like it would work great! We still love this juicer and use it frequently. I highly recommend it.

It has two slicing disks and one does cut about that thickeness, and yes you can slice lemons. Just watch the video, it takes a little practice!

I love mine. I have only used it with frozen fruits cut up and frozen or bought frozen. I haven't tried any vegetables so I can't answer that, but as far as the fruit goes it is great. It isn't a commercial grade by any means and I am the only one using it here so it isn't getting heavy use. The motor seems strong enough for my use. I don't think it would work that well on fibrous vegetables or veggies that aren't cut up first. Hope this helps.

Hello Jennifer,I've used it on everything from tomatoes to kiwi fruit and vegetables. On oranges it doesn't do enough in a single pass so you will have to do it twice. Much easier to use a knife. An excellent peeler but be careful of your fingers as it is easy to cut a finger if you are a bit careles. If you are like me, you will only do that once though.Well worth owning one. I bought a few and handed them around to all my family members.Regards,Peter

I have only used it minimally for that....find it does okay with blueberries and softer fruit like that but would not use it for tougher fruits. Its blades are better suited to liquids and soft things like peanut butter.

That gadget does WONDERS on slicing strawberries. I love my egg slicer. Works great on eggs also. I love my egg salad mix, so easy to do two cuts on egg and it is ready for mayo and onions. I even got more so I could give them to my kids.

I would say no. I tried cutting an apple in half and slicing it. The results were not satisfactory. The slices are very thin. The slicer is the least effective of the pieces in this set. I use the graters and the julienne all the time, but almost never use the slicer.
