I have never owned a mandoline before, but this one is GREAT. I love all the slicing options, the easy adjustment, and the stability overall. Also, the finger guard generally works really well. Finally, I can make the dishes with thinly sliced veggies, potatoes, etc, and have them look semi-OK. :)

It cleans easily, is definitely sharp, and I am going to try using it tonight to make some roasted sweet potato fries!

This is my first mandoline. I've been wanting one for a while but until now, the price wasn't worth having one of these vs. using a knife.

Now that I have a son and I make him french fries at home and for a few other recipes, I like having it.

OXO is always a safe bet for quality and especially ergonomics and grips.

Overall, I like it a lot. I don't use it as often as I hoped, but when I do need it, it comes in very handy.

My only real complaint would be that the storage area for the various blades will get dirty and covered in food every time you use it. So you have to remove all the blades and pieces carefully, set them aside and do whatever you're doing. Then you have to place them back which can take a little getting used to. It's a bit of a pain so I stopped storing them inside the main body and just leave them loose.

The blades themselves are very sharp and it does everything it says it will. Making french fries and Julianne cuts are extremely easy. If you are making a dish that requires a lot of vegetable sliced up, then this will save you time.

However, this also requires a good amount of cleaning and special attention because of the sharp blades. So some of that time saved is spent cleaning it and driving it properly.

Still, it's worth it when you're making french fries or something fun that would normally take a ton of time and every piece is nicely uniform.

The overall construction is very nice and it will last a long time. I've had mine for over a year now. The blades are still sharp and everything works great.

Anyone with decent knife skills though, can do most of this if you're not going to be using it often or making large amounts of shredded or sliced food.

Obviously I'm a bit on the fence if it was worth the cost and time and effort vs. using this mandolin. That's just me and nothing to do with the quality. It's very well made and I have zero issues with that.

I think I covered everything I wanted to say on this so... That's it!

This item is great!!! I have yet to break it, haha. JK.

So me being on never using one of these items in the past I had a few "wtf" moments because instructions did seem so clear to me when trying out other blades. Exploration is great! I'm still a newb on perfecting my slices however it has helped with some of things I've dying to cook.

Only concern I would have is the slicer helper, it's frustrating while using with cucumbers and carrots. Most times I don't even use and just my hand in a slow steady pace. Maybe it might just be me since I am new to this.

If you're ever interested in getting one, would definitely get this. It is also a space saver since all the blades/attachments are within the compartment.

This is a great product. I purchased it to make uniform cuts for my dehydrator and it works very well. The only draw back is for large or long items- For example if you want to make big/long slices of sweet potato for dehydrator dog snacks. The slices get stuck on the back of the unit while trying to exit. It's hard to explain, but each one kind of gets stuck. It's not a deal breaker but it could be better. Other than that I really like this product.

Love this thing for slicing my food in uniform slices. Potatoes and other root vegetables, tomatoes, and apples. It is fun and easy. Just place the item to be sliced on the plane and set the dial for the desired thickness.

I had never grown up with one of these tools and only recently came to learn how truly helpful it is. I love using it on raw and fresh fruits and veggies to make salads or even "chips" of fresh raw foods to munch upon. I also use it to slice my "potato chips" that I cook in my microwave and make healthy chips without oil.

Be certain to use the hand guard. I've sliced a finger or two and even sliced the tips off special metal gloves. It isn't worth the pain, so be careful

Comes apart easily and can be easily washed.

I gave up and gave one to my daughter in law so she would let me keep mine at my house.
