Swissmar Borner V-Slicer Plus

Upon reading other reviews I placed order for this unit. When it arrived I was dismayed at what you get for this money. Upon using I became more dismayed as the unit is almost impossible to use. The food drags on the slide. Using the holder helps move the food but it only cuts about half way down and then you are left with the other half to cut by hand with a knife and cutting board. Kind of defeats the purpose. Plastic is flimsy and distorts when food is pushed through causing irregular cuts. For this much money much improvement is expected. I don't recommend. In fact I returned this and got a Bron which is the original mandoline maker. Will see how that works when it arrives. A cutting board and knife would be faster and easier to clean than this plastic thing. I wonder if some of the other favorable reviews were placed on Amazon by the manufacturer.

Purchased for my self, it was exactly what it was advertised to be. I found it very easy to use, assemble, and store. I used it the first time to dice onion. No mess! Easy clean up!

I purchased this mandolin slicer after seeing it on the Food Network. For the price, this is an excellent slicer. I know there are mandolins on the market for $200 or more but I don't have any need to spend more money. This slicer does everything I need.

Slice vegetables and fruits thick or thin. The holder protects your fingers from the sharp blade. The one tip to remember is that you don't want to overload the slicer. Keep the vegetable and fruit pieces manageable and you won't have any trouble keeping the slicer steady on the counter.

We have two young sons, so mixing up the presentation is important to keep them from getting bored. They like the large, thin vegetable slices for lunch as finger foods. We don't buy bagged salad kits anymore. Salad kits cost about $3-$4 per pound (most bags come in 9oz or 12oz sizes).

With this tool and the OXO salad spinner we have a wonderful salad in minutes.

After a year and 6 months this unit remains sharp as new.It slices onions,celery cucumbers,tomatoes,carrots & potatoes in the blink of an eye.It makes short work of piles of veggies every time we make soups and/or salads.

For once, I've got somehting that WORKS. My food processor (a really good KitchenAid), is going to my daughter in law.

Hooo Boy it's SHARP. For the first time I have a tool than can slice tomatoes without squishing 'em.

I use it just about every day.

Wonderful.
