A friend used my H571 to slice a few bananas but accidentally sliced too many. Is there any reverse mode to unslice them? The manual is not helpful.

I've encountered a similar problem with bread that comes sliced. All you have to do is glue the pieces back together. You could try taping them together, but that does affect the taste somewhat depending on the type of tape used.

I think the answer is not to "unslice" them, but go BANANAS and have a Hutzler 571 slicing party! Go on, get crazy!

Yes, I was confused as well but after some experimentation, I found that instead of pressing down the slicer onto the banana to slice, you can unslice but pushing the unused slices back through the corresponding slots. I will post video on youtube when I have a free moment. I... just... can't stop using this amazing product.

I have been unable to 'unslice' but quickly remedied the problem by carefully preserving the peel and using the Hutzler Peel Zipper after lining up the slices within their natural home.

That is exactly why I hired a Hutzler 571 personal tutor. I found the manual to be too complicated to troubleshoot this sophisticated device.

Same here. It worked fine for a while, and suddenly, the blade wouldn't go back down. Can't figure it out.

I just bought the 632. Being able to tilt it back so that the slices fall easier seems to be a real plus.

Hi, simply put sliced up fruit in in the mill, I do no more than half full, and turn so fruit goes under blade. Occasionally you will have to turn backwards to allow room for skins, etc to become dislodged. After that batch is done, empty out skins and repeat until finished. I use fruits like peaches, apples, ones that are solid in nature. usually you will need to soften them by cooking in water until they are soft enough to press through sieve. If you use vegetables, cook them first. Tomatoes, you can just slice, and use course plate to process. I use the course one for apple sauce, but use your preference. Hope this helps.. You can also research on the internet, and see if there are some more ideas. This mill is great for baby food..

You can use regular spools and wind the bobbin with anything. It does reverse. The only thing wrong with this is the noise. And starting the seam is tricky because it pulls the thread out of the needle if you don't hold the thread.

the recipes do say use bananas. Haven't tried it without. Actually gave up on the machine. Wasted my money on that one.

I can't answer the question because mine is sitting in a drawer--it didn't work. In fact it caused my bananas to ripen faster and get spots

You must push down on the cut fruit to activate the motor to ream the fruit. It is very easy and effective, as it has an automatic reverse action to completely ream the fruit. I really like this machine, and it is easy to clean. The price is really right!

I'm sorry, I don't know for sure. I am still using and enjoying this slicer.

There isn't a reverse switch, the blender reverses as needed all on it's own. I have used mine quite a bit and I love it!!

Hey Man, I bought this machine almost a year ago today. Love it, no issues. About the reverse feature, it is great for sanding to a high level for the ultimate smooth. If you sand just one direction, some fibers can just get bent over. Reverse it and sand those off. Do I use it every day, no, do I use it, absolutely. Is it a determining factor in buying this machine? That depends on what you are turning and skill level. If you are doing bowls, it is a must. J!

I do not, I think slicing would make it dry out faster, unsliced you may have to just slice a bit off the cut end if not used all up.

Sorry Tweety Bird .... You can only try it ..... The slices are really not very thick when cut using the slots on the slicer ..... Much thinner and you won't have much bread left &#128556;

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

I just hold one end with my left hand and press firmly on the zucchini with the cutter while sliding to the other side at the same time. Then I cut the end I was holding in julienne with a knife. Hope this helps ;)

Put fingers in drawer slot, lift up slightly, pull forward. I never had a problem with mine. Is the basket too full? If so, give the shredder a little shake to settle the shredded paper. Try again.

Yes you can, depending on the thickness. The anti-jam feature does the same thing I used to do manually with my old shredder: rewind and retry...it "bites" through the thicker envelopes (but keep it in reason!).
