Does the slicer work for both large and small avocados?

I have only used it for the regular kind; the ones that measure about 4 inches long, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on any size avocado, provided they are ripe. I have been using this tool for a little while now and am getting used to it. There is a sequence of work for prepping avocados. All the avocados you need should be processed through each of the three procedures at the same time. First slice all of them into halves, then remove the pits from all of them, then scoop out the soft interiors from all of them. The reason this is important is because the avocados make the tool very slippery (especially the last step; scooping). It's harder to slice and de-pit an avocado after the tool is all slippery from the scooping operation on a previous piece of fruit. Following this sequence makes the work go faster than having to stop and rinse the tool off frequently just so you can hang onto it.

Yes, will work on any size. The scooping part is the only part of the process where size would matter and there is no reason you can't just do a second scoop to get out any meat that is left. I eat 2-3 avocados a week, all sizes, and have no problems. Ripe ones works best, which is true for any avocado thing I can think of. I'd buy this again.

Works well up to medium-large sized avocados. The really big ones will leave some meat on the inside of the skin but haven't been too many of those. It adjusts well to small ones.

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.

It is only about 2 1/4 " wide so would probably not work for slicing big vegetables.

There is currently only one size for slicing. I have used it for tomatoes, potatoes and onions and the slice size is perfect for all!

No, the largest slicer did a good job slicing apples, everything else I tried on the other blades was a failure. My mandolin does a great job making julienne strips.

I have not used mine for slicing yet. The only thing I used mine for is shredding carrots, and it worked beautifully. Sorry I can not help you with your question.

I've not had mine very long and have only used it once...and it does slice...the slicing looks like a slinky (spirally) ...lol

The small one is perfect for garlic since it can fit in the safety shield of the handle. The only thing I would say is if you are doing a large batch it will get tedious to keep putting garlic in the shield, and also your hand might cramp! For large batches I use the slicer on my food processor. Even just doing 4 or 5 cloves for cooking gets tedious with the mandoline, but it is way faster than hand slicing! With the larger mandoline you could fit more than one clove in the shield, so that would probably be better than using the small slicer.

Yes, it has a slicer blade for regular fries, skinny fries and even wedge for ranch size fries!

I cannot answer your question, as I have had terrible results from this particular slicer. Needless to say I am disappointed with the slicer, I could not get it to work either. The images display multiple strands coming from the slicer at one time, I only ever had one strand come from mine.

No it has worked fine for slicing about a pound or two of meat at a time. That's all I need it for. I love mine!

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.

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

This slicer can handle all sizes. I love it. Have had it about a year, would not do without it.

The slices are quite thin...I have sliced apples to add to salads...it worked well for this. I really like this product as it replaces using a mandolin.

The julienne blades work very well with harder vegetables. I prefer it to a v-slicer as it seems to not jam up.

Yes, if the beet is large enough. There is a device that comes with it that you can push the vegetable down into the slicer. It works on carrots, etc.
