I have used this three times now and it is so nice. I especially like the small opening for a single carrot or narrow item. It makes great slices. Also used the larger one for potatoes for scalloped potatoes. I would have given five stars, but the food pusher section has a big crack in it and I don’t know how it happened so I’ll need to call customer support for a replacement. It is inside the small section and actually opens up so it does need to be replaced before I can use it. But it is a wonderful product!
