Best Slicer I've Used in 40 years!
I love this slicer! I have tried numerous slicers over 4 decades, spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars, but kept going back to my grandmothers old 1940's metal slicer! Our Family Holiday Meal Prep Tradition has been for me to seriously cut myself on that old, rusty slicer! Sadly true!I needed a new slicer and really scrutinized all of the options available on Amazon.com, because I'm now in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands and Amazon is the only on-line merchant to ship to St. Thomas.This mandolin slicer interested me because:-It was a one piece slicer. No additional parts and pieces to keep track of.-It had No loose changeable blades. The blades are all attached-It had a dial on the side that changed slicing thickness and style of slice; NO fussing with individual sharp blades!-It had a built-in, collapsible stand to have the right angle for slicing and then it can be stored flat in a drawer-It had a separate hand held food holder with movable grippers to hold the food item and protect your hands-It was made of a quality metal to be very sturdy & is rust resistant.-It was dishwasher safe!It was the only one that I've seen with all of those attributes for such a good price. So, I decided to give it a try and placed the order. It shipped quickly to St. Thomas, USVI - 1,000 miles south of Miami, FL across the Atlantic!I used it for the first time last night and love it! It was everything the Amazon description said it was! The tomato for the BLT's was so easy to slice and easy to adjust the desired thickness. The hand held food holder worked great - better than expected. Then I just put it through the dishwasher! And, then it stored easily in a drawer! I'm very pleased with this purchase after searching for a good slicer for over 40 years! I highly recommend it to everyone.

nice, sharp blade, versatile slicing, Eats Fingers just as fast as food without its guard
PROTECT HUMAN FLESHI really like this mandolin! it slices really nice, clean and fast!BEWARE: fingers may look far away, but it‘s easy to get carried away with the easy slicing! Finger tips bleed a lot, and we don’t want either in whatever we’re fixing.This mandolin isn’t bulky, doesn’t have useless parts to clutter or get lost. It’s the only one of the many I’ve had over 30 years that I want to use again. Even though I’ve been pained using it. (Will I still need the guard if I use my palm instead of fingers?) The guard is actually different from others, it’ll allow thinner slicing.The first two times I used it, iit took finger slices with the zucchini then potato. That hurts! And takes a couple of months to recuperate, then are still sore.My daughter used it but didn’t pay attention to the guides under the guard, used it sideways, so sliced slivers of that into the broccoli slaw, which wasn’t pleasant to bite into. Now I need to replace the guard.Everything negative about this mandolin is OPERATOR FAILURE

Great Slicer! Faster prep of food
Great Slicer!Wide surface and longer than my old, cheap plastic one. Got stainless because we're removing toxic plastic with its endocrine disrupters from our lives. Nice, solid unit, very sharp blade, easy to adjust thickness of slice. Chose this one because the slices can be made thinner than most other mandolins. Thought the thing came apart for easier cleaning, but instructions don't say so & couldn't find a way to do that. Lost a star because first thing my honey deep sliced a finger getting it out of its plastic bag-there should be a way to guard that sharp blade, and you can't tell which side is sharp since it's all steel. Also if it came apart, would be happier for ease of cleaning. Good, quick shipment.

Looks Sharp - Blade is Sharp
It looks sharp and it is sharp. My 1st test-a tomato. Good job... 2nd test-onion. my onions were paper thin. Great job. I will definitely use my cutting glove with this item. It slices so fast and sharp that it seems like the prudent thing to do.Update: Since purchase my impression of this slicer has improved. There is a variable knob for slicing. Paper thin to good chunks. My previous slicer had preset values. It is super easy to clean. I use my sprayer and it's ready to go again. I still used my cutting gloves. I can see it has the ability for slicing your fingers as well as potatoes. A GREAT PRODUCT

Do Yourself A Favor And Purchase Something Else.
This is a dangerously poor quality slicer. After being the not so proud owner of said model for a mere two months, the blade has broken off mid-slice. I could have sliced myself.I contacted the manufacturer to make a warranty claim and while they were prompt to respond that they would send a replacement unit, I have yet to hear back on when or how said replacement unit will go out or whether they need anything additional from me. So, on top purchasing an inferior product, I am also dealing with slow and somewhat unresponsive customer service.Do yourself a favor, a purchase something else. I have bought better mandoline slicers for much cheaper, among them, a $5 model from Aldi. That's right folks, discount grocer Aldi, sells better slicers than this! And said slicer held up for a year and took up less space!When this slicer was functional, I found it very clunky to operate and store. So even if/when the replacement unit comes in, I'm not sure this will be a go-to kitchen gadget.

Great Mandolin, and versatile too
Great construction, easy to clean, and much nicer than the cheaper ones, I've had 5, this is by far my favorite for practical and is a decent size so you can do onions and potatoes with no fussing. Great product guys, thanks!
