After seeing this slicer advertised on Instagram and getting requests for it, I decided to try it out for myself. As of this date, it currently holds a 4.5-star rating among almost 2000 Amazon reviews.

For dicing, don’t cut to make vertical strips. Cut horizontally ( like you would do for scalloped potatoes). Then put those horizontally cut pieces into the pusher to cut for dicing.

Yes and no. I have one and it is a little dicey on the multiples (pun intended). The issue is that potatoes are wet and starchy, so they tend to slide. So, as long as your potato fills in the height, it works, but for bigger potatoes that need to be cut to be inserted, they tend to slide over and bind in the feeder.

Bought this because of your review and I love it! I eat a lot of sweet potatoes and tend to be clumsy with knives. I cut myself often. I was getting scared with cutting so many potatoes all the time so I decided to invest in this. It gets the job done so quickly, everything is evenly sliced, no mess, no fear of chopping my hand off.. it's a wonder product! I've had compliments that the carrots in my home made soups look professionally cut because they're all so thin and uniform slices. I must use this 2-3 times a week minimum and just absolutely love it! I'll never go back to just cutting with a knife again.

@@screamtoasigh9984 i beg to differ, it IS easy to clean as in food safe. You simply run it under hot water pressing the blade up and down to loosen any veg that might be caught in the blade and then submerge in hot soapy water. You can easily see if there is any fragment of food trapped in rhe blades and it is supplied with a small brush to dislodge anything that might get stuck but i have never had to use it. It is stable in use, i have used mine frequently , if you push anything beyond its limits then it can topple. It sits very squarely on the counter with good balance and great little suction feet to hold it in place. My main uses are for slicing potatoes and julienning veg and it does a great job of both.

Only 2 thicknesses of slices, 2 sizes of julienne (fries, matchsticks). The only problem is that it's extremely sharp (like most mandolins), thus it's very easy to cut yourself! I like the safety aspects of this new-style slicer, so I may get one to try out! (I'll keep my V-slicer for long french fries, but use the new one for everything else!)

I’ve had a straight blade mandolin with a single blade and replaceable guides for thickness or fries. Similar, but my favorite, was the V Slicer that has two short blades in a v shape, with the same kind of replaceable guides. With both, I was always terrified of slicing my fingers, even using the hand guard. I really like this design because of the designed in safety. That’s a big plus. I like not having to have a bulky tray to hold all the different guides, but this does still has all the pieces that cause storage bulk, so that’s a net neutral. The negative is the design doesn’t allow one to make normal longer fries, but that’s a small issue. A bigger negative is that I wonder how well the various plastic dials will hold up before breaking and making the thing at best a one trick slicer. I think I’d wait to purchase it to see the longevity.

@jessl1934 2 жыл бұрын

Just a tip: I _hate_ those plastic guards on mandolins because they always seem to slip and fall off. It makes me scared that I'll get complacent and I'll have a slip that will result in a nasty accident. So I bought some cut-proof gloves online. They are made of a nylon weave which has something, maybe steel fiber, as a reinforcement through it. You *will* bruise your hands if you have an accident with a slicer or a knife while wearing one but you won't cut yourself (unless you're using a powdered device). The gloves are easy enough to wash after use - I just hand-wash them in soapy dishwater and leave them out to dry. I figure that as clumsy as I am, it would be foolish for me to not spend a few dollars to save a lot of potential suffering. The amount of times that I've knocked a nice little red smile into a knuckle just using a box grater is proof enough that I needed to get some of these gloves...

Seeing it in action with multiple levels tested was very helpful, especially the dicing function since I have some starchy veggies I plan to cube for a stew. Maybe now I won't have to buy frozen sliced and cubed veggies again for a while, if ever! I absolutely agree that the price for this is a bit high, especially since I (a) will be hand cleaning and washing this device and (b) don't know if it comes with a warranty or not. Had it been maybe $10-$15 less, this would've been a fantastic steal, but I have until the end of January to see how well things go. Thanks for the video!

This is a semi vertical Mandolin slicer with a feed chute. Why I prefer the regular Mandolin slicer: 1) Price. 2) You can slice potatoes lengthwise and get longer French fries instead of what I consider to be French fry remnants. 3) I prefer my scalloped potatoes to be consistently round, not oval shaped. When smaller items are in the feed chute, they can rotate preventing you from controlling the shape of the slice. Mine may not be quite as fast, but I have more control over the finished product.

I have one of these and reviewed it a long time ago on my cooking channel and I love the thing. It still works after 2 years, now the dice is my only complaint since its just not a nice dice.

im all about simple. im starting to learn how to dehydrate and thickness consistency is key. i bought a slicer once, came with so many parts. had to erect it just to use it and then take apart to store. this one will do just fine. hope its dish washer safe..and you gave it a thumbs up..4 out of 5 maybe... my search is over thanks....

This just seems like a souped-up mandolin slicer. You still have to use a continuous effort from your arm to use the slicer. On top of that it, it doesn't look that much fun to clean. As the grooves look extremely finicky to actually clean and the blades don't seem to come apart from the plastic housing, so mold and rust could probably be a factor of this. I searched for nearly a year for an item that would help save my hand and shoulder while prepping food (arthritis and fibromyalgia). I ended up with this item: BLACK+DECKER Multi-Prep Slice 'N Dice Food Processor Bundle, and I'm really happy with it. It was $90, but it's pretty intuitive to clean and I've had minimal issues so far. There is a small area between the blade and the top that small shreds can get stuck and some of the wet veggies can get stuck in the shooter going into the bowl, but that's minimal for issues. I overall really like it and it saves my hands. That would be a awesome video for you to do! The Black & Decker vs this slicer vs a mandolin vs a knife..

I found an electric one on Amazon that works just as well and even has grater blades for grated veggies and cheese. Everything but the main part of the unit that plugs in goes into the dishwasher. The major drawback is it only has 3 thicknesses due to only 3 blades.

James, it is a mandoline with a feeder but seems a lot safer than most mandolines.

@blahorgaslisk7763 2 жыл бұрын

I actually think I prefer a normal mandolin. It's more flexible regarding the way you cut things. Want long chips? just slice the potato lengthwise. Also I think it's a bit dicey calling it safe. Sure it may be safer than a mandolin but I wouldn't consider it safe enough to let kids, small kids that is, use it. If you can get your finger in there kids will try it just to see if they can. However I do like the slice thickness adjustment. I've seen similar on some mandolins and they seem to work well. Question is how easy it is to clean. Someone asked about that in the comments and I agree that it would be interesting to know just how easy it is to clean or if things tends to get stuck in hard to clean places. Also I have to admit to something cringe worthy. Watching one small potato after another being run through the slicer had me barking at the monitor. "Just fill up that chute! With potatoes as small as that you can get three in there are the same time." Yea, not my proudest moment.

@litabelaqua 2 жыл бұрын

I agree a good quality mandolin is more flexible in use but i like this because there is no way you can cut yourself with it, so this little gadget is much safer but yeah a good mandolin is a good investment

@Antaios632 2 жыл бұрын

Literally anything capable of cutting vegetables isn't safe for a small child to use. This is definitely safer than the kind where you slide the vegetable over a naked blade, though. And it's not hard to clean at all.

Bought my first mandolin back in the mid-70s. Been using them since. Yes, I've nicked my finger tips more than a few times. In the mid-80s we attended a small Baptist church in Little Rock. Went to our first pot luck dinner with them, and I made a big bowl of cucumber and onion salad using the mandolin. The folk were astounded about how perfect and uniform everything was sliced. I guess the utensil had not made it that far yet. 😇😇😇😇

I have one I bought in France (I'm a UK viewer) and my amazing French wife uses it all the time. It's fast and easy to use and clean. Running it under a high pressure hot tap works but we usually pop it in the dishwasher. If you cut fruit though, the fruit needs to be quite firm and for tomatoes we use a sharp Damascus steel knife.

Love your reviews, trust them over any others. Wonder what this was like to clean afterwards, does it go in the dishwasher? I have had things that save me time in use but are a pain to clean afterwards & end up taking more time.

Don't put anything with a sharp edge in a dishwasher.....The powder is abrasive and will blunt knives, this thing , peelers and the like....Many people don't realise that fact..I wouldn't put any part of this in the dishwasher due to the plastics (Yes, I have one)...
