Mandoline Slicer V5 (Plus Set) • Adjustable Vegetable V-Slicer with Extra Accessories + Peeler • Kitchen Slicer For Slices, Strips, Dices • Stainless Steel V-Blade • Color: Purple

I have never used a mandolin before, so I cannot say how this compares to others. But...I absolutely love this one! It slices thin enough to make potato chips. I had to experiment with oil temps to get them fried right. Started at 350 degrees and finally found they fry best at 300 degrees. That was a shocker for me, but it works. It even cuts tomatoes perfectly...really ripe ones! I've only tried to dice a couple of times, and it worked great. I would highly recommend this. The only negative thing I have to say is about trying to register it for warranty. The site I was sent to was not in English. I emailed the seller and was told they would take care of it. I don't know if they did, because I never receive confirmation. Nonetheless, I would buy again, even without warranty.

A great slicer. Both my wife and I are very impressed with the consistency and quality of the slices, as well as the sharpness of the blade. If I had to complain, it would be that the handguard doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the unit -- it's too large and leaves a bit of "wiggle room" when you're slicing, but this isn't annoying enough to knock off a star considering the rest of the slicer's performance.I was a bit worried about the plastic construction considering my old, cheap slicer, but the Borner is made of dense, solid plastic that doesn't flex when pressing down on it. Can be used flat or at an incline.

I've had past models of this, and it was great. And this new one seems more heavy duty, and it will allow you more thickness options, but I'm not sure it's worth the extra effort. It does take extra time and effort to carefully select the thickness setting. It was easy before. Put it in one way, it's thiner, the other, it's thicker. Now you have to line up the arrows, set it in, push the button, and try to slide it up or down to reach and stop at the desired setting, which is harder and takes longer. But you can choose from more thickness settings.The holder is much worse, IMO. It's harder to store the blade accessories in, and worse, it is VERY hard to line up the plastic connector (like a mortise (female) and tenon (male) wood joint) you have to line them up blindly (you can't see it directly, like a hook on the back of a picture and you try to find the nail to hang it but have to guess where they line up since you can't see through the picture). And if you do line it up, it does not lock in very tightly or with a satisfying snap, and it looks like it might easily break, eventually. It seems less stable sitting there, too. And the safety guard is also harder to set into the holder and hangs slightly at an angle. I am not thrilled with the way this thing is stored.But it works fine and it's very sharp. Clean up is still a snap.Finally, that peeler is also very sharp and effortlessly peels veggies, but honestly, the peels are much thicker than my other peelers, so there is a lot of waste - unless you plan to use the peelings. The other features on the peeler and garnish tool are not well explained anywhere here, on the product packaging, or on YouTube, either, but you can probably figure them out.

VERY sharp. Use with care. Keep out of reach of children

This is the best mandolin I have ever owned, very, very safe and easy to use. Be sure and read the instructions first. It also came with a vegetable peeler that is awesome and has replaced my CUTCO vegetable peeler.

Love the ease of function and the ease of rinsing off. Some reviews said you cannot cube with this but both fine and larger julienne blades have a cubing position. All you have to do is angle the vegetable within the the hand protector at 45 degrees from the direction of sliding on one pass and rotate 90 degrees to 45 degrees from the direction of sliding in the other direction on the next pass. So easy to change thicknesses in slicing. This is my go-to cutter for many functions I used to do with the chefs knife taking less time with this, and more uniformity. I purchased a no-cut glove for finger protection but so far I don't think it is necessary if you go to the safety shield part way through the slicing every time.
