Zakarian by Dash Safe Slice Mandoline for Vegetables, Meal Prep & More with 30+ Presets & Thickness Adjuster - Cranberry

It is a great product! It is easy to set up, safe and so fantastic chopping. I work and it helps me get diner ready with less effort.

Great for cutting up veggies and stuff that fit in the guiding tube. Challenging to clean small bits stuck on sharp cutters and small glide channels

I really like the way your fingers are never near the blade. It is easy to set up, easy to use, and a breeze to clean. Sliced your veggies in a short amount of time!

The best mandolin that I have used in a long time

Super happy with this product. Easy to use, clean and store!

There is so much to love about this slicer.I never have to touch a blade. My fingers are scarred up one side and down the other from the times I've cut myself trying to change blades or swipe across with the "safety" handle on other machines. I've tried choppers and mandelines, too. Even my bully food processor requires manipulating a blade and that can be dangerous. On this one, I can barely see the blades let alone get my fingers near them.The machine has good grips on the legs. Didn't realize how big a factor a good grip is. On others, I'd use a wet towel underneath. This one did not budge during use.The spring action for the push handle is sturdy and quick. With little effort, I pumped the handle as I pressed the push tube and in less than a minute, I had sliced two onions. The slices were sharp and the veggies looked good. The guidance tool kept things in place as they were fed into the slicer.Clean up was a breeze. There is a small brush included to clear the stuff out between things and it all goes in the top tray of the dishwasher.Setting are all a turn of a dial and easy to manipulate. I could see the blades move and didn't have to get near them with my fingers.The things that could use improvement:Yes, the main slicer does fold down compactly; however, the other pieces do not and will not easily fit in a drawer. If the bowl was just a quarter of an inch longer, everything would fit neatly inside and be easier to store. I don't need to have multiple storage places for one system.The catch bowl needs to be larger in general. I could only chop half a large onion at a time before things started to tumble out of the bowl.It slows down the prep process and makes a bigger mess to clean up.For me, the value in not having injuries from sharp objects is so worth it. I still need a knife to prep items to fit in the slicer but that is very minimal. The time saved in the quick use and in the clean up is invaluable, especially for big meals, so a great value for me.Good product, good performance, and a new favorite until the little tweaks can be solved.

This thing makes light work of cutting French fries or slicing anything for that matter. Everyone that cooks NEEDS one of these!

Arrived used and dirty!!!!
