When you need more precision than a knife
By BakingWithBob on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2025
I’m reasonably good with a chef’s knife. There are times, such as any gratin potatoes or julienne carrots, where more precision (or greater safety) are required. I have used this mandolin quite a few times since receiving it. It has performed nearly flawlessly. There are several features which in my opinion make it stand out among mandolins. Safety. Mandolins must be used carefully. This unit has a locked setting where the blades are tucked away to minimize accidental cutting. The blade is removable should you think that important. The holder for slicing the food is spring-loaded with an indicator on top giving you an idea of how much remains to be sliced. It is also equipped with 3 pins which penetrate the food to lessen slippage during use. With those in mind I use and recommend a cut-resistant glove. Utility. Thickness settings are achieved with a knob on one side. There is an indicator on the side with positive stops at each thickness. Moving beyond the thickest slicing setting there two additional choices for julienne slicing. The removable blade is also reversible which permits making rippled slices. The foldable foot is rubber-coated and well constructed making for good stability while using. Do remember though that those slices have to go somewhere so be prepared to move them from beneath the slicer frequently and keep your countertop reasonably dry. If you are in the market for a mandolin I can recommend you seriously consider this one.

If I could give 0 stars - I would

I was in dire need of a new mandoline - I had one for a very long time and it worked great. But after years of use, the safety holder cracked and the blade was "finally" losing its sharpness. So I did a bunch of research on mandolines - and I took the recommendation of a popular food show that reviews kitchen tools of all types and makes their recommendations. I have always had good luck with this method - air fryer, toaster, etc. This is the first time I have been disappointed! Based on other great reviews - not sure if I just got a bad one or what - BUT... This thing is absolutelyt awful! First off the safety handle - the spring load is so tight that even a pretty substantial potato gets literally shot out of the thing! Doesn't hold any vegetable at all! Very difficult to "slide" - and I use that term loosely - up and down the shaft - really takes brute force. And as far as the slicing goes - well if you just want "slices" it seems to work just fine - but for the julienne settings - for french fries or julienne veg - its' totally worthless. It "cuts" the french fries - BUT - not all the way - they come out in one piece and you have to separate them! I should have returned it after my first use - but I thought surely that spring load would ease upon further use - and as far as the slicing and dicing goes - being new - maybe it was just a learning curve - but no - after a couple months of use - I have decided this garbage and and that's where it's going. I wouldn't even donate it.
