 Good Mandoline for the Price August 17, 2008

This is a good mandoline for cutting soft vegetables, but it has a hard time cutting potatoes. The hand guard is not made for holding potatoes well and they keep slipping out of the holding tines. I did use it to cut cucumbers to make pickles and onions for a julienne fry, but it takes more muscles to cut potatoes or cabbage. It is easy to clean by just rinsing it off after use, but it doesn't store well as there is nothing to hang it with apart from a v-shape that is near the middle of the back of the holder so it hangs out from the hook I tried to hang it on.
 Great Slicer August 16, 2008

Terrific product at a fair price. Compact design, and slices everything very fast saving quite a bit of time during prep. I can't figure out how to cube effectively but I'm pretty sure it's user error.
Excellent product, Good Value August 15, 2008

I am very impressed with this slicer. I bought it as a substitute for a much more expensive mandoline I own that is currently packed away. It performed very well for the task I needed it for (5 lbs of potatoes for scalloped potatoes). The storage box that it comes with is a bit odd, but it does protect the blades and is reasonably compact. We'll see if the blades stay sharp, but for the price I won't even care if they don't last forever.
Love this thing! August 6, 2008

I just bought this product a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE IT! I have owned a $200 mandoline for the last 15 years and I HATE that thing! I never take it out to use because it is so big and cumbersome to use and wash. This thing is the exact OPPOSITE of that! It slices and juliennes BEAUTIFULLY! It is also easy to clean and store and is a fraction of the price of the stupid stainless steel ones. Don't waste your money on the fancy one, get this and actually use it! You won't regret it.
 Can't believe the good reviews. August 4, 2008

No clearance for food to fall underneath. Food holder leaves dark markings, giant holes and wasted food that falls off constantly. The slicer's holder is absolutely ridiculous letting the pieces fall out easily which includes sharp julienne blades. It's basically impossible to julienne sweet potatoes on the flimsy blades which was the main reason I bought it and leaves me using way too much pressure towards a very sharp set of blades that just aren't sharp enough to cut what I need to cut. The technique they offer for chopping onions is only a few knife strokes away from just cutting them yourself. Rinsing with water DOES NOT clean it. I have to use soap and water with a long brush right after or food sticks to the plates and in corners. I am pretty sure everyone on here praising this works for Swissmar.
