PrepNaturals Adjustable Mandoline Slicer with Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer - Black Veggie Slicer Mandoline Food Slicer with Julienne Grater - V Slicer

I got this to prep potatoes for a Xmas dinner scallop potato recipe. I have a Cuisinart but its big to lug out and clean up and I don't have a thin slicing blade. This slicer gave me thin potato slices that were perfect for this recipe. The grater worked well on a small block of cheese too. It was easy to use and clean up was quick. I like the drawer unit and the adjustable slicing widths. Its also easy to store and put together unlike a lot of clunky big appliances. I've tried the julienne blade too but it didn't work well for me. It could have been user error as I'm new with this. The blades are sharp and exposed, be very careful and don't get sloppy. I made sure my hand placement was never near that blade. I use band saws and woodworking equipment so I'm used to always staying clear and being alert, the same applies with this slicer. (Do not let kids near it!) For the money its a good purchase. I would recommend it for small jobs though. For large sized items (unless you can cut into smaller pieces) or a large quantity to process; get a machine. I will also add that the company selling this is customer friendly and cares about user satisfaction. Mine came with a defect in the plastic. While it didn't prevent usage, the bottom of the drawer had a mottled plastic look making it hard to clean. I contacted the company (this was right before Xmas on a weekend too) and they immediately got back to me and sent me a brand new one, even though I just needed a drawer. So if you have issues, don't hesitate to let them know.

This is a great mandoline slicer, really sharp blades that are easy to change, an aggressive food holder and a sturdy non-slip container make it so easy to use. Easy to clean too, I rinsed the blades immediately after use and used the edge of a sponge to wash them, I also dried them right away. I like that all the parts fit into the container for storage, although you might want to pay attention to how they are placed before you unpack them.This arrived, washed it and had 6 small potatoes perfectly sliced in less time then it takes to wash and cut the eyes out of the potatoes. I used baby carrots with the spiral slicer and it worked, but larger carrots would have worked much better. I also sliced a couple carrots using the regular blade and they stained the white plastic a little, no big deal to me, but it happened. I'm sure if you ran the piece thru the dishwasher it would come right out, but I hate using the dishwasher for plastics as it makes them brittle over time.Here are a couple tips for use with any mandoline slicer...Cut the vegetable in half so you have a flat surface to work with.Empty the container frequently so the food doesn't fill to the level of the blade.The container on this slicer is large enough to hold 6 small to medium potatoes, but I did have to tip it up a couple of times so there was room under the blade for more slices.

The mandoline slicer has some cosmetic flaws (scratches, brown area, etc.) inside the plastic and on the outside of the container frame but doesn't appear to be damaged functionally. It has two pieces of plastic strips on the bottom that keep it from moving as you slice, and works well.The handheld food guard is a good safety for when the vegetable has been mostly sliced, but it makes it harder to slice uniformly. The slicer base also limits the length of vegetables you can slice, as it's raised where the container frame ends and also has the switches for thickness settings in the way, so slicing things like cucumbers, carrots, larger potatoes etc., length-wise won't work out as well. The one I got also had some issues with the locking mechanism for the blade attachments as one side could be removed easily while the other needs to be popped out with more force.The different blades work as intended and slice well. I think the thickness settings of 1 cm, 3 cm, and 5 cm are helpful for basic recipes and will suffice for at home cooking, but will be limiting if you want a custom thickness for decorative or other purposes. Overall, the product works as intended and is useful for fast slicing.

I love this mandolin slicer. The blades are incredibly sharp, all different blades work super well, and I like that you’re able to change the thickness level when slicing veggies. It is very sturdy and slicer surface stays put, does not wobble like some of the cheaper ones. The storage drawer is fairly large and easy to empty when full. I like that it comes with the veggie holder that make it very safe to continue slicing when you get to the end of the vegetable. The blades are very easy to clean, the little brush helps. Just be careful when cleaning them, I got distracted once and now wear the glove that came with the set when cleaning the blades. I have not yet used the spiral slicer since I already have one that I like.*My one tiny nit picky negative point is that I would not recommend putting the drawer into the dishwasher at all. I put mine in the dishwasher on the upper shelf as stated in the description, and while the shape held up and the outside is fine, the inside must have melted a little bit and portions of the drawer are now a bit rough and cloudy looking.*
