Amazon.com Review:
An inexpensive alternative to a professional stainless-steelmandoline, this device makes it possible to quickly, uniformly, andsafely slice and julienne vegetables and fruits. It also shreds cabbageand neatly dices potatoes, tomatoes, and onions. For safety, a holderfirmly grips food with stainless-steel prongs so fingers are protectedfrom the German surgical-steel blades, and the three insertsaccompanying the device lock in position. The inserts act as a guidefor slicing against the V-frame's knife that reverses to create sliceseither 1/4-inch or 1/16-inch thick and two julienne inserts forcreating 1/8-inch or 3/8-inch strips. For storage, the V-frame, allthree inserts, and the safety holder fit into a caddy that can standupright on the counter, lie flat in a drawer, or hang on the wall. Madeof rugged plastic, the device measures 15 inches long and 6 inches widewhen assembled for storage. --Fred Brack

Rating:  - WORKS GREAT
I JUST BOUGHT THIS ONLY USED IT ONE TIME, BUT IT WORKED GREAT AND IF ALTON BROWN SAYS IT WILL DO THE JOB, YOU CAN BANK ON IT.
Rating:  - Very usable.
We use it on a weekly basis for slicing potatoes. It does a nice job, quickly and is easy to clean, but sometimes you have to force it a little to get hard things, like potatoes, through the blade. It made lovely, paper-thin slices for an apple tart. But it's useless for french fries if you like anything bigger than matchsticks--which even the "thick" side makes. Also, as it lays flat, you constantly have to remove the sliced food. Otherwise, it's great, very usable.
Rating: - Swissmar slicer
I've wanted a slicer like this for years and finally got around to buying one. Many other reviews have listed all of the pros and cons of this product and there really isn't anything new I can add. It certainly slices quickly and easily. I can't give it 5 stars, however, for a couple of reasons. First, I have cut myself a couple of times. Yes, many people warned about how easy this is to do and yes, I was trying to be careful. But with so many blades it just takes a brief instant of not being careful ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful, almost too sharp!
This awesome little gagdet has made chopping-intensive dishes a breeze.Blades are incredibly sharp.Cleans up with a quick rinse.I have accidentally given myself a couple little cuts - this was so sharp I did not even realize or feel the cut for several seconds.It is simple common sense that you need to be super careful when using this (or any sharp kitchen tool).Nonetheless, I don't like using the guard, esp for softer vegetables like tomatoes.The guard ends up smashing the tomatoes, or the ...

Rating:  - Cheap construction and dangerous.
I cannot recommend this because quite frankly it's dangerous and I surprised Amazon risk selling it.It feels cheap and while opening it one of the razor sharp blade sets dropped out of the weak plastic case and just missed my foot.A knife can be dangerous but at least its clear where the sharp end is.This is just a cheap plastic case with jagged blades everywhere.We returned it immediately.
