OXOGood Grips Simple Mandoline

Love it! So easy to use and easy to clean. Doesn't take up much room at all.Best purchase ever!!

I, maybe like you had used other mandolins. Great idea, but just never seemed to actually do what they said. This Mandolin ONLY does what you want. 4 EASY preset thicknesses, and also Julienne. Super easy to select, a well marked slider on the back is positioned to your setting, and poof it's done. A very well done item holder to safely keep your fingers out of the cut. It actually holds the food so you just zip it through the cutterhead. Safety feature of a dead zero blade exposure safety lock. Well made, easy to clean, and the holder stores well attached to the mandolin. Unless you want frustration, and so so quality, just buy this mandolin. I sure wish I had 7 Mandolins ago.

I'd like to communicate how dangerous this appliance is if you aren't paying close attention and using the following safety precautions. First, invest in ahttps://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XC11FL8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image. Amazon sells this and since it comes with 2 gloves you can give on to a friend. Also, always use the food holder. I did not like the food holder that came with this mandolin. The teeth grips were not sharp or long enough to properly grip the food being sliced. I used one from my old, cheap, discarded mandolin that works much better. I also always store it in the lock position and cover the blade with the blue protective strip that came with it. I know two very experienced cooks who were badly wounded by mandolin blades.On another note, the julienne setting does not work well. It requires a very hard hand to push it through and then the vegetables still remained clumped. I suggest that you use a food processor But the slicer feature works great. And I gave 4 stars because slicing is what I use the mandolin for: potatoes and cabbage mostly.

I’ve cut my hand badly on two occasions using this thing. Love it

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is a cheap piece of garbage. I am generally a fan of OXO products but this thing is less than useless-it’s dangerous. The blade is crap. Hard to even slice a zucchini. Get a Kyocera.

This one really works. Simple, sturdy, sharp. I tried a more expensive model that had removable parts and complicated adjustments but could never get it to work. Finally threw it in the trash and started searching for a better option. This is it!! I use it primarily for slicing potatoes. They come out even with no waste. I also used it to thinly slice carrots and it worked great. Also sliced zucchini and cucumbers. I should have known OXO would be the answer.Update: Just used it to slice leeks and potatoes for Potato Leek soup. Cut prep time by 75% or more.

This was much nice than expected. Be careful because the blade is sharp. For those that have been cut, it is because you were not paying attention or using the mandolin properly. So far, I am not bleeding, but anything can happen. I use this before I start drinking.

Love everything about this, including the way it’s stores, BUT, apparently I did not read it well enough and it does NOT make french fries, which is what I wanted besides to Julian, which it does very nicely. My bad, but I really don’t need this now.
