(More customer reviews)There are pros & cons to this slicer. Here goes:
Pros:
CHEAP.
Small/easy to store.
All stainless steel.
Easy to clean.
The adjusting mechanism allows the blade to be fully out of the way for storage--no reaching-in-the-drawer accidents.
Sliced a 2 inch diameter carrot (yes, that's right, 2 inches) about a foot long into 2-3 millimeter slices in under a minute. That was with the adjustment at the max thickness. Sliced shallots into 2 mm thick slices quickly.
Cons:
No hand guard or food holder--be careful & PAY ATTENTION, you are down to nothing in NO time; or use a mitt or some kind of glove.
Slice thickness range is limited to 1 mm - 3 mm at best, almost pointless adjusting it, IMHO; at max thickness, the carrot slices were definitely not uniform, which is because the device is a little too unstable to keep it in the same position/angle when you're slicing a carrot.
The adjustment knob is easy to completely unscrew & lose--keep an eye on it. I wouldn't keep this slicer in the reach of kids.
You have to prop the slicer against a non-slip surface (or a non-slip bowl) to keep it from sliding everywhere.
Not sure how long this blade will keep an edge & it is not removable or accessible enough for sharpening.
Bottom line: Good for quick small jobs/quick cleanup/easy storage when you don't want to set up food processor attachments or a mandolin (or don't have the money or space for those). A potentially limited lifespan is probably worth this deal of a price. Watch your fingers.
