I purchased the 1/2" model recently and so love how quick and easy it is and how safe compared to using a chef knife. I'm going all in and getting the 8 pt wedger, slicers and more dicer sizes. I love solutions that don't require electricity or electronics. Don't get me wrong, I have all the "gadgets" too...but there's just something so satisfying when you can be this efficient using gravity primarily.
I have a similar one and I just now tried cutting a carrot. It worked fine. Before I was trying to cut a small slice of carrot that was too thin. What worked was cutting the carrot in half (it was about a 1 inch cut diameter,) then I place the 3 inch long top to bottom carrot on the dice blades and pushed down easily. So, yes, this type of manual machine does chop carrots in my experience.
Great product! Sharp enough for veggies, but not sharp enough to cut my finger to pieces when I had an oopsie at work today! Would recommend, just pay attention to what you're doing lol
Can you please tell me if it slices tomatoes for sandwiches as well? I cant find an actual example this and that what I'm waiting to confirm before I buy. Thanks
@@johnreed2278 If you want diced tomato then yes. However it will not slice. If you want tomato slices, but a decent knife that wont go dull immediately
To get the dice, you'll need to first slice the veggies then put them in the chopper. Otherwise you might look into getting a Robot Coupe R2N with a dice kit (sold separately) to get that dice you're looking for more quickly: bit.ly/2noLF0w
Don't force it; let the weight of the pusher do some of the work. Lift it all the way to the top of the slide bars and then push it down quickly. Sometimes the first pass will just break the surface and a second pass is needed to finish the job.

Nemco or Volrath.....?
They both seem pretty darn good. What benefits of choosing one over the other in their Large Size models?
Is there an onion machine for large quantities peeling, cutting and drying
Is it good for eggplant? I need a large dice 5/8" -3/4". If not, what can you recommend
How does this product hold up when chopping harder veggies, such as carrots or turnip? Thanks

What size grids are available above 3/8"?
Is this good for chopping walnuts?
Didn’t show us how the vegetables came out. Interested in seeing the consistence of the tomatoe😬
So these veggies aren't diced into small square? Just long 1/4 x 1/4 ...correct? What would I use to get 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 veggie pieces?

where dan how much?
You forgot to show the result of your work.
how hard is it to press? We are only girls and I am afraid we will not be able to really put force on this.

Thanks for making the video :).
Oh....I want this
