Does it peel onions?

No, I just tried the only onion I had, not round but kid of shaped like a flying saucer. Did not peel.

No it does not. Is just what you see on the picture, nothing hidden or slicing.

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.

I normally use it for onions and tomatoes. occasionally carrots or spam. it does a really good job.

I use it to slice onions extremely thin for deep fried onion strings. It works great!

Yes it does, but the peeling happens slightly over time and is not major, so you can do it the night before you go to work.

It is a strip slicer so cuts things into julienne strips, so with an onion it will act more like a grater than a slicer. I use it to grate zucchini and onions for my quinoa turkey meatballs recipe. And to julienne vegetables like carrots, zucchini, beets, cucumber, for salads etc

It will chop onions but not the parsley. I bought the Ultra Chef Express Salsa maker and it is hands down the best! It will chop anything including herbs.

Yes. You can do onions, carrots and other veggies just fine. Done it many times with no isssues.

I dont know for sure as I have not tried it. I highly doubt it being that it couldn't even cut up onion or tomatoes

I did try it and it worked...but the onion was so much more firm than a tomato that I had to push super-hard. I was a little worried I'd break the plastic frame! To be fair, it was a HUGE onion (barely fit in the slicer)...so you would probably get a better result w/a smaller onion.Hope this helps!

It has a handle that you turn to chop things into smaller pieces. It is perfect for salsa or chopping onions to fry. There is a slicer as a separate attachment. I'm not sure if that answered your question.

It did when I bought it.. I don't use the potato peeler as I have another I like better.. do like the knife a lot..

One of the blades will do the apple peeler but, I bought it for the spaghetti spirals it does with zucchini and carrots. I love this thing--my salads are so pretty! They look like magazine photos.

Yes and I've used it. Works very well for onion slices. NEVER slice without the holder. The blades are very sharp. Which, of course, explains why it works so well! ;)

No, I wouldn't recommend this for anything but citrus fruit. Bryan's suggestions are good, or you might consider a vegetable juicer. There is a Kitchenaid attachment for fruit/vegetable juicing which might work on onions.

Yes. I use it all the time that way. Does it cleanly extract all the garlic? No. But it quick and easy. Prob. 80% expelled. Definitely beats peeling and cutting for most stir frys. I end up using garlic more often now when cooking. Hope this helps.
