Will the one disc make bigger slices. I don't like how thin it slices my cucumbers n zucchini. I would like a disc that slices it a little thicker.

You will have to buy a thicker slice disk. There is a medium slice disk and a thick slice disk. Amazon sells these also.

That's very relative. First, it depends on the vegetable. Zucchini or cucumber are much softer than carrots. The blade is very sharp; the muscle power is as much or less than I might have expected. See my photo of the carrot-cucumber flower. I am happy with this product.

I really like this slicer, BUT, I would recommend a spiral slicer for the really long zucchini "noodles" to substitute for spaghetti. I think this slicer is a good choice for nice thin "julienne" type of strips. It works very well on dense vegetables like carrots, and my spiral will not handle carrots. NEVER use this slicer without the guard. It is very sharp and you will bleed a lot (been there done that).

I've only used a few times for zucchini. I think a food processor would chop it more. I think of a mandolin for slices. This spiralizer give you noodles, long noodles. Really cool. Kind of vague, hope this helps.

The slices are on the thin size, in my opinion. I've been using it less and less as a result, in favor of slicing with a knife. I suppose that means it wasn't a good purchase for me... Probably it depends on whether you like lots of cheese (thick slices) or not (thin slices). Your call.

Yes, I'm finding it better made, heavier and the motor is a lot stronger, I'm not worried at all about it breaking. Thought I'd let you know, on ALL models not all the fruit goes through and there is quite of bit of waste left in the blades. I LOVE this though! Try freezing cubes of soy milk or coconut butter in ice cube trays to add to the fruit. I use a lot of vanilla and cinnamon too. Hope you enjoy it.

That won't work as the cutter wheels that come with it makes short shreds or slices.I LOVE my salad shooter use it almost every day tho.

This should be no problem. Depending on how many cuts you want to make (i.e.- once across theplate's width, cut around the perimeter, etc.), it may require more than one cutting disk. Good luck!PeteObviously, usual safety precautions should be observed. one cutting disk

Hi I have made smoothies with fruit and the blender pulverized them with no problem. I have not done vegetables, but the motor is strong and I don't think there would be any problem with leaf vegetables or softer vegetables. I would cut up carrots smaller because I would be afraid of bending the blade, but I just can't say enough positive things about this blender. I have had a very positive experience and I love that it comes with all of the attachments. Hope you enjoy it too!

Sorry, I can't give you a thumbs up on this one since I never tried to slice ginger. You can try small pieces at a time to see how it works for you. To be perfectly honest with you, I like the Zyliss slicer product, but I wish it were a little bigger. Let me know how you make out!

Yes, as long as the cucumber itself isn't too mushy it slices it just fine! If you have trouble with this or anything else, like cheese, try freezing it for a few minutes first to harden it up before slicing.

No, this just makes slices, however I did see one along the way (more $$) that does the julieene. If Good Grips makes it and if it is even half as good as the one I bought, it should be a winner.

I think so. But I much prefer their other slicer...it has more variety in size and shape. :)

I imagine it would if the zucchini were cut into 3-4" segments. I haven't done that and I haven't heard of anyone doing that. My biggest problem with this peeler is that the handle broke. I would have to not recommend this brand, but I would recommend the peeler; I've used one like it extensively over the years. I'm going to try the Victorio brand and see how it goes--it has the best overall reviews.By the way, if the peeler works with zucchini you should post that so others can see how it works. I'm curious and might try it myself next time I have some to cook!

Try this link...you will have to copy and paste...the answer is 'yes' http://www.thegourmetdepotco.com/cuisinart/dlc-842tx-1-2mm-thin-slicing-disc/?gclid=CJrGtrm_3boCFStBQgod7mIAfw

Not to my knowledge. The blade is on one side of the disc only, and so slices quickly rather than peels. Slices are quite even.

Not sure about larger discs working. I would say to contact Cuisinart. I don't think they would work. RM
