Works and safe!
Just like others said (reason I bought it) You can use it without cutting yourself! I've bought two mandolin slicers before and managed to cut myself and that was using the protection knob that came with it! I was never going to buy or use a mandolin again until I saw this. I have 2 food processor's that slice and shred and they're great, will still be using them, but they take up a lot of room in my dishwasher and I don't always want to go to all that trouble for a modest amount.The directions are pretty good, although my first use was difficult because I followed setup directions and turned A 360° and put C on 8 (thickest setting) and popped in a sweet potato. I couldn't push handle down all the way, had to push (really more like pump) handle and to my surprise out came french fries. So factory either set it wrong or you don't need to do that setup step for slicing, but I just turned A 360° again and slices came out.Slices do have partial, linear surface cuts in them, but I can't see why that would bother anyone, just wanted you to know so you won't think something is wrong. In fact I did a batch cut thiner and in strips, sprayed them with oil, and popped in air fryer and they came out with crispy edges! My sweet potato fries, although I love them, have never been crispy!I'm not crazy about tomatoes on this, but wasn't expecting to be, they really need serated blade, but they were better than I thought, just wasted tomato compared to slicing.Like others, I have to say I love this. Finally a mandolin I'm happy to use!

Safe, Easy to Use, and Versatile
This mandolin is much safer than the usual ones I've used, which I really appreciate. It's very easy to use and clean. I especially like the little bin that catches what you're slicing – a nice touch that helps keep things tidy.Although I haven’t used every feature yet, I love that it offers dicing and matchstick cuts without needing to physically change the blades. You just turn a dial, which makes switching between styles super convenient.The only downside is that the food area is a bit small, so it may not be ideal for slicing larger items. But overall, it’s a great product and a solid addition to any kitchen.

Where has this gadget been all my life??
The most important thing you should know:Many people snub their noses at kitchen gadgets, professing a culinary skill with knives.Fantastic! But not everyone has the same strength. Arthritis and other issues makechopping, slicing and dicing difficult. This gadget is so smooth, so easy to use, and wellworth having.1. THE PRICEOkay, so although I sneered at the price, I considered other ways I spend my money, and decidedthat if this gadget made working in the kitchen more fun, I was more apt to cook, and stay awayfrom fast food. Done. I love using it, and experimenting with cut size, so it was worth it to me. It doessave time, and time is also money, so... Add one to your cart, and wait for the price to go down. It will.2. THE SAFETYYou would need to TRY to hurt yourself on this tool, unlike using a flat mandoline, which for me, is almost a guaranteed accident. It comes with a nifty tool, so you should not ever need to put your fingers anywhere near the blade. If there is a tiny bit of food left in the slicing chamber, just give the lever a few more presses. If it doesn't come out then, it should when you remove the chute and rinse it, especially if you have the blades open wide. If your vegetable falls sideways, add more veggies to support each other, or use a tool to lift the veggie back into upright position before cutting. Yes, the blades are very sharp!THE VARIABLE CUT SIZES:The little dials are not complicated at all. If you turn the main knob to a number (1 is thin, but not THE thinnest) you can then open and turn one, or both of the little knobs to julienne wide or narrow. If you look into the gadget while you are turning the little knobs, you can see the little blades coming out, so you will understand how they work. The variety of cut sizes is plentiful! While I have no complaints, I will mention the cut is on an angle, so carrots, jalapenos and other tubular veggies tend to be elongated and not so much circles. Not a problem for me. They look cool! See photos, and also for the carrot the thickness of a dime, which was cut on the very first click of the dial. By opening both of the julienne blade controls, you can easily have matchstick veggies, which I find amazing. I've been looking for matchstick julienne for years. This is it!THE CHUTE:Place your goodies into the chute, and use the cap to press them into the blades as you push the handle down. You do not have to push hard on either the handle or the cap. Don't slam the handle down each time, or your vegetables will fly off. Gently, but consistently.CLEANING:It is a breeze to clean, especially if you pass it under running water right after you use it. I don't advise soaking this tool, as you may forget it is in the dishwater. Safety first. Use the handy tool it came with.STORAGE:You can put everything back into the box after you use it, or simply turn and press the handle in, and fold the legs in for storage. Easy. No fuss.FINAL THOUGHTS:If something happened to this gadget, I would definitely buy another one. I love it so much, that my first thought was "I want to buy one of these for friends and family."OH, AND WAS THIS REVIEW PAID, or DID I RECEIVE ANY FREE GOODIES?Absolutely not. I leave reviews, especially positive reviews, when I like a product this much.Just order one already.

Great and Safe mandolin
I have owned several "could lose a finger or hand" mandolins but they really intimidated me too...after several searches and long considerations I seen this one and thought why not....so far I love it....used it 9 times blade is sharp, cuts are great..once you figure out the dials(which came quickly), suction cups hold well and so easy to use the pump handle ...which also locks when not in use just push down and twist. I don't worry about cutting myself and there is no waste of product it cuts to the very last little piece. I think it is very easy to clean...I use soapy water and rag then run water down it one way and the other seems to work plus you get little brush for grooves if needed....I personally would not do dishwasher just because I can get it cleaner by hand. Glad I took the chance and bought it...not disappointed at all.
