 OVERPRICED PIECE OF PLASTIC JUNK. DOESN'T WORK AND IS UNSAFE. November 23, 2008
A. Dziennik (West Texas)
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.
 Great, as expected. April 15, 2008

I had the original V-slicer, but the ex-wife took it. I shopped around for a replacement, but could not find anything that really would replace my V-slicer - but this. It is almost Identical to the V, but has a slightly less sturdy frame - unless you put it on the included holder. Then, it works like the original (which gets excellent reviews) but has a place to catch the food and associated juices. The non-slip rubber pads on the holder work great, and eliminated the one problem I had with the original - that it would slide around.
If you get this, just remember that it is the speed, not the force with which you slice, that makes all the difference.
