NEW Mandoline Slicer

Absolutely brilliant! Mandolins can be scary, and require usage of gloves to protect from slicing one's hand. This device very cleverly eliminates that challenge. Cleaning is easy, setting the thickness of the cut is very simple. All in all a superb device, easy to use, easy to clean.

The most important thing you should know: Many people snub their noses at kitchen gadgets, professing a culinary skill with knives. Fantastic! But not everyone has the same strength. Arthritis and other issues make chopping, slicing and dicing difficult. This gadget is so smooth, so easy to use, and well worth having. 1. THE PRICE Okay, so although I sneered at the price, I considered other ways I spend my money, and decided that if this gadget made working in the kitchen more fun, I was more apt to cook, and stay away from fast food. Done. I love using it, and experimenting with cut size, so it was worth it to me. It does save time, and time is also money, so... Add one to your cart, and wait for the price to go down. It will. 2. THE SAFETY You would need to TRY to hurt yourself on this tool, unlike using a flat mandoline, which for me, is almost a guaranteed accident. It comes with a nifty tool, so you should not ever need to put your fingers anywhere near the blade. If there is a tiny bit of food left in the slicing chamber, just give the lever a few more presses. If it doesn't come out then, it should when you remove the chute and rinse it, especially if you have the blades open wide. If your vegetable falls sideways, add more veggies to support each other, or use a tool to lift the veggie back into upright position before cutting. Yes, the blades are very sharp! THE VARIABLE CUT SIZES: The little dials are not complicated at all. If you turn the main knob to a number (1 is thin, but not THE thinnest) you can then open and turn one, or both of the little knobs to julienne wide or narrow. If you look into the gadget while you are turning the little knobs, you can see the little blades coming out, so you will understand how they work. The variety of cut sizes is plentiful! While I have no complaints, I will mention the cut is on an angle, so carrots, jalapenos and other tubular veggies tend to be elongated and not so much circles. Not a problem for me. They look cool! See photos, and also for the carrot the thickness of a dime, which was cut on the very first click of the dial. By opening both of the julienne blade controls, you can easily have matchstick veggies, which I find amazing. I've been looking for matchstick julienne for years. This is it! THE CHUTE: Place your goodies into the chute, and use the cap to press them into the blades as you push the handle down. You do not have to push hard on either the handle or the cap. Don't slam the handle down each time, or your vegetables will fly off. Gently, but consistently. CLEANING: It is a breeze to clean, especially if you pass it under running water right after you use it. I don't advise soaking this tool, as you may forget it is in the dishwater. Safety first. Use the handy tool it came with. STORAGE: You can put everything back into the box after you use it, or simply turn and press the handle in, and fold the legs in for storage. Easy. No fuss. FINAL THOUGHTS: If something happened to this gadget, I would definitely buy another one. I love it so much, that my first thought was "I want to buy one of these for friends and family." OH, AND WAS THIS REVIEW PAID, or DID I RECEIVE ANY FREE GOODIES? Absolutely not. I leave reviews, especially positive reviews, when I like a product this much. Just order one already.

Great Mandolin. Very safe and performs well. It could be a tad more direct as to how to operate as mine did not include instruction. However, instructions were easily found online!

Love it. Safe, easy and FUN to use. Use it almost daily for a year and no issues. Great for prepping baby led weaning foods!

Easy to order, fast delivery as given, looks durable, easy to use and with simple instructions. Can't wait to skip pkg. good to so easily prepare my own veggies & fruit ! Lightweight and easy to clean too ! Thank you

Worked great for slicing potatoes, I liked that you could pick the thickness of the slices.

I’ve had both the mandolin slicer with the plastic hand guard that pierces your food but tends to slide off as well as the box where you smash the lid to dice, but this is the first one that I feel completely safe and in control with. I like the design of this one with the plunger style handle vs the one with a hand grip. I have no reference but this one just seems easier to use. Been slicing potatoes and carrots with ease. Yay!

It is an excellent choice when there is a lot of slicing and dicing to do, but not so much when you just want to slice up some tatters to go with your bacon and eggs in the morning. This device does several things well, from slicing veggies at different thicknesses to shredding them. And it does them quickly. However, there are some drawbacks: One is that the feed hopper is too small to hold even a small onion, which must be peeled and cut into smaller pieces to feed it through the machine. The same applies to decent-size potatoes or any other round, normal-size vegetable. Two, cleaning the device after use takes some time because of its design: there are lots of little nooks and crannies that need to be cleaned one at a time using the provided tool. Dishwasher? Sure. But according to the instructions, you can’t leave it in the dishwasher during the drying cycle. Three, there are multiple parts, including the detachable input hopper and its associated push-feeder, the catch tray (which is too small for most uses). Four, The knob for adjusting the overall thickness and the two multi-knife slicers' height adjustments require time and experimentation to get them set the way you want them. On the plus side, it appears to be well-made and works as advertised. It would be a valuable tool if you are cooking for a large family gathering. But if you just want to dice up an onion, use a sharp knife.

Très pratique , très facile à utiliser , fonctionne très bien Je recommande

The kids can make their own vegetable/ potato chips, this is wonderful and easy to use, and if you clean it straight away it’s also easy to clean. Risk free chopping!

Pues para personas que tengan artrosis como yo en las manos y les cueste partir las patatas para fritas o para tortilla la verdad es que es muy útil a mi me ha venido de perlas y para el resto de personas también. Bueno esta es mi opinión que no tiene que coincidir con otras lógicamente, pero yo creo que es útil.

Me encantó! Es muy útil Es mi gadget favorito
