Mandoline Vegetable Slicer, Manual Kitchen Veg Chopper Stainless Steel Blade for Julienne, Cubes, Fried Potato Carrot, Cucumber

Had it about a month now.Well made.Lots of choppng options.Very fine and easy thickness adjustment but I tend to use max and middle settings most of the time (8 and 4 mm).Takes a little while to get used to the adjustment and mode mechanism but easy once understood and used a few times.Easy to clean with brush/cleaner provided and fast running water.Folds away neatly.Found its best to use on a tray with squiggy fruit and veg as some liquid tends to escape the catch tray.Very fast cutting.Excellent for consistent thickness sweet potatoe slices but a slighly thicker setting than the max of 8mm would be useful.Fantastic for slicing salad and vegatables.Really pleased we purchased this particular product.

Once you have mastered the art of selecting the correct blade and height it is easy to use. I like the collection box. It is a bit of a fiddle to clean but does come with a small brush to help. There is far less wastage of vegetables than with my old one and less chance of grated knuckles.

I found this item to be very easy to use.It is easy to set up and adjust the cutters.The cutting action is simple, effective and keeps your fingers well out of the way of the very sharp blades.It folds up to minimize storage space, although this does still leave the 'hopper' into which you feed the things to be sliced, but there's not really a way around that.Cleaning is reasonable easy, although sometimes things do get stuck in the blades, but a small cleaning brush is supplied to get into those awkward places.I've had various types of cutter and mandolins in the past, but this is probably the one I like best and definitely the safest to use.

Easy to use good size and sharpness

Firstly the item itself works quite well even with firm vegetables. I see some people have issues but I'd say for the average person it is no great effort to work you way through most root vegetables. My main issue is I am quite good at chopping so bought this to speed up the process with super thin slicing and even though the description says it goes from 0.5mm to 8mm, the thinnest I could get it to slice was well over 1 mm. If this isn't an issue for you then this item is definitely a time save and worth the money.My biggest issue though is the item I got was clearly a return or pre-used as it was missing the cleaning brush and was taped up with a damaged box. Thr item itself was clean and in good working order so I have not tried to return it. I would contact the seller if able to but current unable to find how.

Much safer than a mandolin this slicer is finely adjustable and can slice chip Julien and dice.The instructions with the package are very limited, but the videos showing its use are sufficiently informative,

This arrived yesterday and I've used it twice.My first trial was a small baking potato, which fitted whole into the chute. The chopper made short work of turning it into chips, it needed none of the elbow grease that I've had to use with conventional mandolines. The chips were very small, though, even on the thickest settings.The second experiment was on salad, with half a carrot and a cucumber turned into juliennes, as thin as possible. This again worked well, but bits of carrot got trapped inside and were difficult to clean out (which is why I've knocked off one star - it's not as easy as just rinsing under the tap). The carrot stained the white plastic but the instructions tell you what to use to clean it (I haven't tried that yet).The chopper and all its parts seem to be very well made and sturdily built - time will tell, of course. It's far better than any of the other veg choppers I've tried, and probably less of a pain to clean too. It does take up a fair amount of storage space.The 6 page instruction booklet is clear, written in (good) English and illustrated with photographs.If you're looking for a veg chopper, this is the one to go for.

Love this and finally found one that saves my fingers!
