Summary: Bad Experience Here
Comment: I have not had the experience of so many others here. The item is not easy to set up, one must be careful of the blades surrounding the borders of the slicer inserts. Not easy to clean, made mush of the tomatoes, and potatoes.
Sorry, my experience rates this one star.

Summary: What a Slicer!
Comment: This is the only slicer you need.If you enjoy making deli sandwiches,this will do the job.
Customer Rating:
Summary: OMG!
Comment: Hey this is great! I thought I'd end up spending $100.00 bucks for some fancy all-steel mandolin...then I found this. It does what it says. It's easy to clean. It works. Period. I don't use the food holder (gulp). I just make sure I am paying attention to what I'm doing, because this thing is SHARP.

Summary: Many of my knives just became obsolete
Comment: I just unwrapped this thing, and after figuring out how to put the extra julienne blades back, am already in love with it.
I had some overly ripe tomatoes that I wanted to slice up for sandwiches and general snacking (why is it things always taste better bite sized or thinly sliced?).
It takes about two seconds to figure out how to use the safety handle to slam through a bunch of fruit or veggies. Within less than a minute, I had eliminated 3, soft skinned tomatoes in even super thin cuts that would have required sharpening my knife and much thicker, sloppier cutting than I would have preferred. The leftovers in the handle was minimal.
For cleaning, it was just a rinse immediately after using (as you should with any sharp kitchen tool to prevent scrubbing/injury).
If it can handle my kitchen nemesis of almost-worn-out-it's-welcome veggies, I'm sure oranges, potatoes and everything else will be a cinch.

Summary: Excellent Product
Comment: For the price you expect a good product, and this is very good. You don't need one this expensive though. I love mine, and the locking mechanism is a great feature, but it doesn't lock the other blades, so it's not entirely "safe." Needless to say, I keep it far out of reach from my children. A mandoline is so great though, and every kitchen should have one! You can make "spaghetti" out of zucchini, and slice veggies paper thin for great texture. If you can afford it, get this one. If you are more strapped for cash, get the OXO one, it'll do the job too.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Cut thick slices of apple for pies, or veggies for stir fries. Slice potatoes thinly for homemade chips, or cabbage for cole slaw. Shred carrots for salad, or julienne, or cube, or dice. With a helpful set of instructions and three cutters, this machine yields professional looking, uniform results, at great speed and without much work on your part.
