K160496.  I bought one, tried to use it with cabbage last night and it was pretty much a mess.  I grated some cheddar cheese, and that was ok but was thinly grated and sort of curly.  I didn't try the slicer yet.

Have you used this attachment and do you like it?  I need some input please!  

It is the one with three bell-shaped metal pieces. . . 

Thanks if you can share  your experiences!

I used mine for cheese all the time.   I bought a nicer dicer attachment now.   Cabbage is just too weird of a food to use in any machine IMO.  I use a hand v slicer for that and lettuce.

The plastic around the base tends to crack on these tho.  I've epoxyed mine back together, and am going to send it to a friend.  It never really affected using it tho.

 My mother had an all metal one, the only issue was that it was aluminum and tended to discolor some foods.

*ETA*  You would use the slicer for cabbage not a shredder.

Thanks!  After fiddling with it, it's going back!

I use mine to shred cheese, too.   I once tried slicing potatoes, and it was a mess.  My mandoline does a much better job at slicing.

Tip:  Do not put your shredder/slicer attachments in the dishwasher.  They will rust.
