HOLD THE PHONE!!! Before you read the rest of the initial review please read this UPDATE!!Ok , so yes it cut my fingers , I really love this tomato salad that requires tons of dicing, hate doing it by hand, so got this contraption out and gave it another go! GLAD I did! The trick is to make your slices not to thick, do one at a time and really wack the top down! No light touch on this, you GOTTA BE THE HAMMER!It worked great on the Cuke , Tonato and Purple onion… my summer is SAVED!I was excited to get this diver/slicer to assist me in fine diving of cuke, tomato and onion for summer salad. Putting it together I knocked three fingers and let me tell you I NEVER felt it till I saw the blood! Totally my bad, and I thought great it will work really well on my veggies. NOPE! I used the small dicingdisk which should have made small chunks but on the bike it made long strips so I had to re dice by hand. Next the Roma tomato’s turn. This is a summer salad and I didn’t peel the tomato’s… HUGE MISTAKE! The peel did not want to cut and ended up getting stuck in the cutting fisk ( good thing they give you a pick tool otherwise I might well be fingerless), next the purple onion! Now this veggie I cut in slices and even tho I removed the onion skin and two layers it still resisted cutting some of the rings.. not sure why!Of the three the onion cut the best in small pieces( for the most part) . I have not tried the other disks yet so will keep this mandolin hoping they work better than my attempts with the small dice disk.I do have a healthy respect for handling these disks now. If your wanting this to do small dicing jobs ai would not recommend it. It is pretty sturdy tho, and it does store compactly, and the cutting edges seem razor sharp. It still gets only 3 stars from me as it did not work for my intended purpose. There are no directions either FYI
