What Others Say
Flimsy and dangerous
Your first few experiences with this tool are likely to be delightful. It features a ceramic blade, which is much, much sharper than the machined steel blades found on most mandolins. It is small and light, making it quick and easy to use and clean. Adjustment is accomplished simply by rotating a rectangular piece of plastic on the underside of the tool to one of four positions.
Unfortunately, the faults in this tool will soon become manifest.
First of all, as many reviewers have said, it is dangerous. The guard that comes with it is worthless and it's difficult to imagine a guard for any hand-held mandolin being of much use; such a guard is, by necessity, too small and not held in a fixed line of movement relative ... Read More
Great Little Slicer
I have had this slicer for over a year and use it quite often. Onions, potatoes, garlic, carrots, and zucchini are just some of the things I have used this for. It's great for slicing garlic thinly for drying. Soft foods such as mushrooms are better off sliced in an egg slicer. Tough-skinned foods like green peppers take some care to slice.
The guard is a real PITA to use. Be careful! It can thinly slice your fingers just as easily as a clove of garlic. :0
I like the adjustable thickness and the notches to hold the slicer on the edge of a bowl. Just as sharp today as when it was new. When done with it, just put it in the dishwasher. A must-have in my kitchen.
Kitchen Must-have
I use Kyocera Adjustable Mandolin Slicer, Black nearly daily, and in fact "wore out" the first one and this is a replacement.
Slices onions perfectly for salads, and slices citrus, and vegetables wafer thin.
A great addition to any kitchen. Very sharp...be careful!
Cuts everything with ease, including finger tips.
This slices things very easily. Apples so thin you can see through them.
Within that size slice, there are six layers of skin on the middle finger. It was just as easy to slice a digit as a potato.
Be VERY careful with this. The vegtable holder is annoying, but not as annoying as typing sans finger for a month or so.
I love this slicer
The 3mm size is perfect for slicing cucumbers for salads. It is EXTREMELY sharp and had managed to stay that way despite the fact that I use it often. It slices most firm vegetables with ease. Tomatoes can be problematic especially if soft. Super hard vegetables like carrots can be sliced with patience and care.
