Mandolin Vegetable Slicer Stainless Steel Blade 13 in 1 - Multifunctional Vegetable Cutter Adjustable Kitchen Slicer Vegetable Spaghetti Carrot and Grater Cutter Zucchini Spaghetti Maker Grey

I was originally looking at some of the JML products which are fairly similar to this to make preparing vegetables easier. After looking through several of the suggested items I decided to take the gamble on this one and so far I’m very happy I did!The main reason I was looking for a product like this was to help reduce the time spent preparing meals in the evenings and if possible make things a little easier.An example of this is trying to dice up onions into small enough pieces, with this device it’s now literally a matter of seconds and gives more consistent uniformed sizes.So far I have used it to slice/wafer carrots for stir fry’s, dice up chunks of meat for pizza topping and pastas and grate cheese.The choice of the four different peeler blades are also very sharp and fit well in the hand.Good points:-For the price and the amount of ways it can be used it’s hard to find fault.-Every blade included in this product is very sharp, so much so that while ignoring the safety advice I managed to take the edge of my finger off including some of the nail! (That being said the cut was clean and straight proving it’s a decent blade!)-Size wise, all the smaller parts will fit in the main tub and it will all tuck quite nicely into most cupboards or corners.- The rounded triangle shape of the three headed peeler fits really well into your hand and I didn’t get the usual ache in my wrist after using it for a long for prolonged time.-The whole thing comes apart so you can easily get into all areas and get it fully clean.Bad points:-Despite the construction being better than I was expecting from something this price, I can see how people being slightly heavy handed could possibly lead to breaking some of the plastic parts.-The size of the vegetable you use is sometimes restricted to the angle of the top lid section, meaning you might need to pre cut things down to make then fit. (I’m not sure if this is a design fault or a limitation of the product being compact)-The holder/safety cup used to repeatedly bring items across the top of the lid for slicing or grating could be a little bigger. It would help you fit more in and have a better grip when your trying to cut narrower items.-You can hurt your self if you are not careful!

I decided to buy this product as I was interested to see how well this would develop independence skills for people with disabilities. To be fair, the product comes with all sorts of attachments and I have not used all of them. Onions are a bit harder to dice using this product as you are required to have a decent amount of strength in your arms to engage the chopper. softer items like peppers, cucumbers and salad items were a lot easier to chop so deffo worth investing in. Being included in meal preparation is important to people with disabilities and this little gadget enables you to be part of this meaningful activity. The only downside for me was the fact that I don't have a dishwasher and the blades are really not easy to keep clean because even after I thought I had done a good job at washing the blades, there was evidence of onion still in them after a serious washing. The little brush that comes with it is absolutely useless!

Its useful and useless at the same time. Easy to use, if you have a lot of power, because you have to press really hard to actually see a result. I used it once and its burried inside of my kitchen cabinet far far away now.

Best kitchen chopper I have ever bought! Fab for chopped cucumbers, to make interesting, also tomatoes, carrots. Don't use on cheese as too soft.

Have used this product several times now since purchase. Makes a great mixed salad in no time at all! Used to chop cucumber, beetroot and grate carrot. I haven't had chance to use it for potatoes yet but don't see why it wouldn't be as efficient with them too. Easy enough to clean but would be better if it was dishwasher safe too! Overall a great gadget for the price -with lots of potential for use in the kitchen.

Amazing bit of kit does all the salad slicing/chip cutter/ masher does everything to make preparation easy, definitely recommend

Very good, if you like salad, then it's a must have, would be lost without it now.

Easy to clean. Quite versatile. I can dice veg quicker and easier with a knife.
