Cuisinart Mandolin Slicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This mandoline slicer was a disappointment. It is very difficult to operate, especially when slicing tougher vegetables like butternut squash or even onions. It is very hard to keep the vegetables in place and you have to press down so hard to keep them from sliding off that it feels like you're about to break the thing in half. I'm sticking to knives and the food processor from now on.

I have been using a rolling slicer similar to this one for 15 years.
Mine is from a company named EMSON and was made in the 80s. I have been searching
for this tool and finally found it.
I make Tabouli which requires fine-chopping parsley into very fine pieces.
After I do the rough cut, I roll over it (and the mint) with this tool.
Bottom line, it eliminates at least one hour of preparation. It's a great helper for under $10.

This product is not worth the money. The blades are wobbly and everything you try to chop ends up stuck in the blades. Its difficult to clean and does a poor job of chopping. Eventually I quit using it and ended up donating it to the Salvation Army.

Bron Chef's Mandolin with Feet Review

Bron Chef's Mandolin with Feet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had hoped that this would be it, the One, the mandolin I keep. It's going back, though, because the permanent blades responsible for the success of the cutting operation aren't sharp enough to consistently cut. Super sharp replaceable blades in different sizes are great, but half the equation is in the permanent blades. These are too dull to complete a good cut...so dull that the operation becomes quite dangerous, even with the provided pusher. Overall the unit is high-quality and sturdy. If a little extra attention had been put into the blades the high price tag would have been acceptable, but because of the dullness of important blades, this mandolin doesn't perform any better than the 35 dollar version rendered in plastic. Too bad!

Bron Original Stainless Steel Mandolin Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used many different slicers (V-type, diagonal) and this stainless steel Bron which I also own is my favorite by far. The Borner V slicer I own does not have legs and is thus unstable, it is okay for quick non-uniform shredding and slicing. This model has it's own legs so your two hands can focus on the cutting. If you simply pay attention to where the blades are (put the cell phone down), you shouldn't cut yourself. It has a sliding guard for the food to rest in which attaches to the mandoline (which in the picture of the item is shown attached upside-down) and I believe to be safer than the free floating guards of the others. One plus of the steel construction is absolutely true uniform slices which are produced, which has not been experienced with plastic slicers. If you have the money, it is a great investment that should last you your lifetime.

Hoffritz Stainless-Steel Mandoline Slicer Review

Hoffritz Stainless-Steel Mandoline Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really think Hoffritz is missing the boat by not selling this slicer in an infomercial. This is one kitchen gadget that really works. One feature that sets it apart is the stainless steel bowl that the slicer portion sits on. It is high quality and nearly worth the price of the slicer by itself. The rubber feet on the bottom of the bowl are effective in their designed use to prevent the bowl from wandering on the countertop as one uses the slicer on top of it. A feature that the Amazon description did not mention is the rack which holds all the blades, protecting both one's fingers and the blades. I get perfectly uniform slices of carrots and zuchini and potatoes with ease and the food holder even rides on a pair of rails on top so it can not slip off. A surprising aspect of using this slicer is that it actually makes food go further because once you see the pile of slices you can get from , for example, just one carrot , you may decide you don't want to use two. If you do slice more than you need which is easy to do because it is almost fun, the handy plastic cover snaps onto the bowl and will protect the contents well in the fridge. Hoffritz has been reknowned for fine quality blades for many years and the slicer is blessed with durable and sharp ones. Most of all this thing just oozes quality and is very satisfying and efficient to use. Factor in the time savings and how easy it is to clean , just a quick rinse usually does it although the whole thing is diswasher safe and you have great addition to any kitchen.

Oneida Polished Black Mandolin Interchangable Slicer Review

Oneida Polished Black Mandolin Interchangable Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The product cuts well and makes french fries pretty well. I bought this for cutting potatoes and all remarks are based on that use. The problem I had with it is the reverse end of the cutting blade... It's not flat to the slide bed when installed for normal (non-crinkle) cutting. This means that when you have made a cut and are sliding the food back up the ramp for the next cut (the back stroke), the bulged up crinkle blade grabs the food and grates a bit of it off adding a lot of drag. This would also make very thin slices impossible because they always have one side damaged by the curved crinkle blade. If you know someone with a bench vise and thick leather gloves the blade could probably be corrected. Always be careful when handling the blade for any reason, it is very sharp.
Another issue that might cause a problem for people cutting thick slices is the location of the knob that holds the main blade in place... dead center so your thick slices will run right into it as they are being cut. This increases the force you must use and damages your thick slices.
All in all I would not buy this product if I had this information in advance, no reviews where available when I ordered. I am a handy person and have corrected the first problem above and I think I can live with the second issue, so I will not be returning the item. I really expected better from Oneida, but you do get what you pay for in the end. The only mandolins I have ever used were restaurant grade and you can expect to pay at least $100 for one of those models. If you plan on using the slicer a lot, spend the money for a good, well-reviewed product.

Kyocera Double Edged Mandolin Slicer, Black Review

Kyocera Double Edged Mandolin Slicer, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It slices just about any fruit or vegetable with exceptional ease. It will also slice your fingertips with ease if you're not careful with it. The ceramic blade is insanely sharp - the reason it works so well - and holds its edge for a very long time. The only downside is the handle. Holding it with the handle while slicing doesn't work very well for me. The best technique I've found is to place the slicer flat on a cutting board with the handle hanging off the edge, holding the handle with one hand and running whatever I'm cutting over the blade (WITH the holder once your fingers start getting close) with the other.
An excellent kitchen utensil, but one that requires some extra respect and caution during use. It seems to be a bit more durable than the adjustable version, and I like being able to slice with a "back-and-forth" motion - it makes quick work of whatever I'm preparing.
One thing that's not often noted is that food sliced with a ceramic blade doesn't seem to oxidize (react with air) as quickly as food sliced with a metal knife. It's very noticeable with things like apples. Very strange, but in a good way.
We now have quite a few Kyocera Ceramic knives and utensils and we're very happy with all of them.

Matfer Mandoline 2000S Review

Matfer Mandoline 2000S
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My first mandoline was the Bron which is visually the most serious/macho/cool of the bunch, but its shortcomings were unacceptable - the slicing blade is one-piece stainless, and can't hold a sharp edge; the julienne blades are not sharp and can't be sharpened; and the safety carriage is designed to not go past the cutting edge. I sold it.
I now have a Matfer (the all-stainless model) and it has a 2-piece slicing blade: the cutting edge is high-carbon steel (which can be sharpened and hold its edge) welded to a stainless part. The julienne blades are very sharp (altho can't be resharpened). The safety -gadget thing works well, but can't be used for waffle cuts. I use the Matfer only for waffle cuts and if I have large quantities of slicing. If you want french fry size potatoes or are slicing celeriac, you're better off with a sharp knife. The disadvantage of this machine is that you can't adjust the slicing blade's uniformity of thickness - my slices are thicker on one side (the Bron had more adjustment leeway).
The machine I use the most is the Benriner - the slicing blade is very sharp and is sharpenable. The (unsharpenable) julienne blades are extremely sharp. It can't do waffle cuts and is not good for massive quantities of large cuts. It's best for finer julienne and thin slicing such as potatoes, cucumber or daikon.
Don't even consider using these machines without the safety gadget.
Unless I have a large quantity of slicing to do, I'd opt for a sharp knife, because cleanup time counts too.

Instead of pulling out your food processor, consider a mandoline as an alternative the next time you have to prepare vegetables or fruits. The slicing blade has both a straight edge and serrated edge for different uses. Julienne blades create vegetable and fruit snacks of varying widths, and the guiding plate adjusts to vary the thickness of the vegetable or fruit slices. Straight edge slicing blade is ideal for slicing a variety of foods from carrots and cabbage to lemons and potatoes. Serrated edge creates crinkle and waffle cuts, and the three julienne blades make perfect, classic strips in three degrees of thickness. Blades are crafted from high carbon stainless steel, and the frame, safety guard/pusher are made of heat-resistant, nonporous fiberglass.

MIU Stainless-Steel Professional Mandoline Slicer Review

MIU Stainless-Steel Professional Mandoline Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am skeptical of fancy kitchen tools because I tend to be a kitchen purist who believes that with a good set of knives and some skills a wanna-be-chef can slice paper-thin potatoes, onions, or anything that comes along the way. So, when this mandoline was brought home, I was ready to find faults.

My first impression was that this was a larger mandoline than I had seen before; it's really more of a professional size and demands some counter space. Setup is simple: expand the two "feet" which are covered with non-slip rubber and the mandoline sets up on the counter at an appropriate angle. Six blades also come in a handy plastic box. One thing that was a tad strange was that the box seems to hold only five blades; so the sixth one hangs homeless! However, the blades are very easy to slide into or out of the mandoline.
The piece that you hold your vegetables with looks serious but operates quite simply. You put your vegetable on one side and push it into the 'pins' which dig into it. This also pushes out holding end. The trick is to keep a steady pressure on this holding end and slice on the blade. You can adjust thickness of the cut using a small lever underneath the cutting surface that angles the resting surface-- a simple and elegant design. I see some reviewers have talked about half of the vegetable getting caught in the blade. Two words of advice: one, you have to learn to push veggies into the food-holder so that the pins can grip on and not slide off. Two, keep constant pressure on the food-holder--it takes about a minute to get used to.
Let's talk about the actual food that comes out of this device. Depending on which blade you use, you can get julienne, waffle, or sliced cuts. I found that after a couple of potatoes, I started getting very even waffle cuts straight to the last slice! Something that even the sharpest knives and months of practice will not do!
PROS:
- Very well-constructed.
- Matches with professional stainless steel kitchen appliances and tools.
- Handy blade-set holder.
- Non-slip feet.
- Easy to adjust thickness of cuts.
- Dishwasher safe.
CON:
- The manual does not recommend how to place food in the food holder.

This product is good enough for home use or casual use. But, I find this product to be more work that is should be. I'm always cautious about using this one because, it's unpredictable. The edges are so sharp and it's kinda scary to slip and have it glide onto your hand. I bought another julienne peeler at my local "asian" marketplace made in japan and cost around 3 buck and kinda out preforms this one. The only catch is, is that, it make smaller julienne cuts that this one. The difference is that, the 3 dollar peeler has serrated blade which makes it more easier to glide to peel. Good enough but, take extreme care in using it.

The Kyocera adjustable mandoline slicer is an excellent product! I have used mine for almost 1 year and have no major complaints, the only one being that Kyocera could have designed the guard to snap in place covering the blade for storage. I keep mine in the plastic "dome" that it was packaged in. It is definitely VERY SHARP, so use the guard. It will effortlessly slice any vegetable: onions, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, etc.. Easy to use, no assembly, etc. Highly recommended.

The quality of this mandoline surprised me. For the price it is really excellent and definitely semi-professional quality. The only negative I can find is that the food pusher is too slippery. The holder should be made with rubberized sides rather than the smooth metal-like plastic, so being careful not to drop it is paramount. I have no reservations recommending this food processor, and the company replaces parts at very low cost, unusual for any company.
