Mueller Austria V-Pro 5 Blade Adjustable Mandoline Slicer – White/Grey

The blades are very sharp and for professional use

This product blades are extremely sharp. I cut myself so bad that I had to get a stitch done after. Never use without guard . Otherwise a great product...

Broken slicer holder received. The thickness of the side differ

I have been debating buying a V slicer mandoline for quite some time, but hesitated because I am fairly skilled with a knife and I have a food processor (20 years old) that works well, and a straight blade mandoline (which is probably 30 years old). So far, with my new kitchen toy, I have made sweet potato chips, paper thin. I was really happy with how “almost” effortless it was. With my existing tools, it was challenging to say the least and I rarely got the results I wanted. I also shredded cabbage, (something I can do by hand), but it was so much easier and quicker with the V slicer. I had watched one of my favorite TV chefs (Alton Brown), and he had said a V slicer was the best tool for the job of shredding cabbage, he was absolutely right. It was so much quicker, I am not a fan of store bought cabbage mix, it never tastes fresh and you get so little compared to a whole head of cabbage. I use a lot of cabbage in stir fries as well as coleslaw. I sliced some zucchini paper thin, just to see how thin I could slice, then I made adjustments to the thickness and engaged the julienne blades, I don’t think the are narrow enough to be considered “zoodles”, but the julienne blades would work well for regular fries or shoestring fries, or just julienne veggies for a stir fry or salad. I love all the adjustments, particularly how thin it will slice. I recommend watching the video, to see the julienne blades which are built in. The way it is designed with the julienne blades as a built in feature is genius. The hand grip does a nice job of holding the vegetables when you get down to the last few inches, which is a definite plus considering how sharp the blades are. The metal prongs within the handle do a great job of actually gripping the food. The accessory blades in their own storage box is a bonus, I am not sure I will use them often, but it gives me options. I may very well bring this slicer camping with us since it is an all in one tool that doesn’t require electricity and that doesn’t take up a whole lot of space). The unit itself does most everything I need and folds up close to flat. So far, I absolutely love this V mandoline. Now, I have to go buy more veggies, so I can see what else I can easily slice. This is a very well made and designed product. Thank you.

Loved it

This has cut my chopping time down to a third for the time it was taking me previously. I make lots of pickles and it was taking me so long to chop everything but this is fantastic! I use this for tomatoes, sliced first then put in, then onions in half then pushed through, works a treat in no time. I also use it to chop cauliflower for pickles and it has been just awesome, so glad I brought this!

Have been looking for years for a good Mandoline. So happy I found this on Amazon

I have purchased many mandoline slicers in the past, and I know what I like. I have spent significantly more on nicer ones with replaceable blades, more exact slices, etc. But I really needed a good mandoline slicer that does a bit more than slice in one size. I have heard good things about the Mueller V-Pro 5 (as well as other products they make) from other chefs, so I decided to buy this one. I needed the following out of my slicer. - Adjustable slice thickness (this can slice paper thin to a respectable thickness to a bit over 1/3") - Julienne/Alumette/French cut as well as straight slicing Added bonus - Wavy cut (ridges) - Grates - Juliennes in two sizes (there are blades underneath the slicing deck that you can rotate and lock into place) - Case for the blades This one is simply the best in its class, nothing in this price range will come close. It is very sharp, both the 5 insert blades, as well as the deck blades for Julienning tucked into the bottom of the deck. Using the product, I love how it slices the vegetables very thin, especially onions for bagels, lox and cream cheese, or tomatoes for a thin slices in a burger, but the best of all, it can slice it almost paper thin. Great for like slicing cucumbers for sunomono. The Julienne slices can be perfect for stuffing vegetables in a spring roll, or for making various slaws. The grater is fantastic as well. One thing I will also like to note is the blades are very sharp. I would use this tool with caution if you have not used a madoline slicer in the past, and make sure to use the food holder and guard. I have used so many in the past, I am used to it, and I know when to stop, so I haven't used the food holder and guard. This is one of the best kitchen products that I have purchased recently, and I highly recommend this to everyone I know that loves to cook. Makes cooking a lot easier and faster (try julienning 5 kinds of vegetables for a dish), and cleaning this tool is very easy and fast too. Sure, I can julienne and make pretty flower shaped or rose petals out of carrots or make a fish net out of daikon radish just using a knife, but you know, when you want to cook a meal in 30 minutes, nothing beats a great tool. If you are looking to shortcut your cooking time, this tool is must buy for most use cases.
