Can this handle big apples?

Sure, the blade moves out with size of apple. As long as stem to bud it's not bigger than about 7-8" across diameter. Does a Great Job! Love it!

Yes. I have used some very large apples and potatoes.If you remove the corer , it will accommadate even larger items.

I use it routinely for large grapefruits. I split & sometimes quarter them if they're giant. Due to the ruggedness of the device it handles everything I've grown.

You can get a pretty large apple through the slicer, but better a tall apple than a wide one. The bottom plastic cover does separate from the corer to disassemble for cleaning. The corer blades do not disassemble for cleaning. The inside diameter I was referring to is the round hole in the center that cuts out the core. It is larger than normal on this model. This is definitely a higher quality corer/slicer and I definitely recommend it.

I don't know. I threw this out. It was more like a toy and destroyed the apple

It can handle something at most 3/8" thick at the base. The Macbook Pro is 0.95" thick. It's not going to work.

I can fit my large fist in it, but probably not if I had grabbed a large apple.

You would probably need more apples because the larger area would dilute the effect of the gas absorption.

Hmmm Yeah probably it's a decent size. The bottom inside (the lining) doesn't look like its very sturdy. I use mine for a fruit tray, I line up apples with a tea towel underneath. It's nice it should hold plenty.

Seems to. We used it on apples from our own trees - all different shapes and sizes. I'm still amazed!

yes i think it would work on all sizes. i have used it several times. sometimes i turn too far & have to back it out a little bit to get it to pull the fruit from the shell however. it is hard to just how far into the pineapple to go.

It's not specifically for apples but it certainly would work for them. No problem.

Not very large apples, but average red and greens it should work fine. I really like this product.

No. This won't peel an apple. I don't think it would core an apple either, because the size of the hole in the middle is not big enough to go beyond the apple seeds.

I don't know. It has 500 watts and goes over 150 degrees, so it might. I've never done fruit.

I have not, but it was my sour cherry tree that inspired me to get this. (I also have several mature standard apple trees and that's what I've used it for.) I don't think it would work great. The prongs at the end are widely spaced. You grab an apple with them and pull to drop it into the basket. I can't see how the prongs could grab cherries, even the larger sweet variety. I bought a ladder for the cherries.

It can handle it . Up to 8 inch but not at a fast pace. Remember its electric.. I use it for my fire pit.

Yes, it's big enough to grab them, but our papayas tend to be too heavy for it to hold them. We sort of grab/push/pull the fruit with the picker and have someone else standing under to try and catch them on the way down!
