3 months agoCan't clean, dice blades ALWAYS nick food
Do not buy this mandoline. Bought it since I saw it used in some YouTube videos for Hotpot, and an upright mandoline seemed to be better than the standard style. The design for this is atrocious and I should have paid more attention to the videos on it(you can see food getting stuck in the chute or it conveniently cut out) Food gets stuck on every part of it, so you have to get something thin to push anything you cut out. The dice blades are not covered, so anything you cut will get scored by those blades. I've used it two times since I bought it since I couldn't get it clean. Finally today I was tired of looking at it still not clean from the second time I used it (no matter how much I tried to clean it, would keep finding more pieces of food stuck in places) and I took the entire thing apart after ANOTHER attempt at deep cleaning it. It is NOT meant to be taken apart making that process a massive pain, but the amount of food I found caked into places you CANNOT access was disgusting, and even with it fully in pieces the main grey piece is all one, so you still have to fight to get a mini bottle brush or tooth brush into places to clean. It isn't safer than non upright models, the consumer can't clean it, and it can't even cut produce without damaging it. I have no idea what I'm going to do with mine, I wouldn't even give this away to someone I hated. AVOID THIS PRODUCT.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be when cleaning and using a mandoline doesn’t meet expectations. For best results, always use the hand guard when slicing, rinse and brush each part immediately after use, and use a soft brush or toothpick to reach small crevices. If you continue to have difficulty or have concerns about your unit, our Consumer Assistance Team is happy to help, and you can reach us at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket number 8900425300. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us understand how consumers use our products and where improvements may be beneficial.

7 months agoHigh risk of breakage
As a slicer, this is safe. It's well engineered, but has a number of caveats: 1. All of the parts are plastic and rely on friction fit between parts. If you drop any part of this machine and snap off a tab or fitting, the stand or storage ability will be ruined. 2. The slice angle is at 45 degrees and can't be changed. Carrots, cucumbers - anything stick-like, slices at an angle. Use gently and it will serve you well, but if you're prone to dropping things, this won't last long.

7 months agoNo way to Clean
No way to take it apart for cleaning... Small bits get stuck and very dangerous to get them out.

Very safe product
Easy to assemble and much safer than a mandolin. I used it to julienne carrots for a Korean Spiced Carrot salad and it worked great. It would have taken me forever to do it with my handheld julienne slicer!

Great tool
I've only used this a few times but it works very well. The blades are nice and sharp, the design is user friendly and it stores quite compactly. I'm looking forward to using it frequently.

Extremely difficult to clean
I don't know where many of these extremely positive reviews are coming from. I think these "tester" folks didn't really use the product at all. This product is extremely difficult to clean. Sure, you may be protected from the blade while cutting and because it can't be taken apart, but you won't be protected from it while you try to get all the bits of mashed up food out that get stuck in places inside that can't be reached. I've only used it once and spent 30+ minutes trying to get all the little bits out, from all angles. That little brush is not going to do much at all. Blasting with spray from the faucet did not dislodge the food from inside this thing. A bunch of food was wasted by being smooshed up in the bottom - about the same that is wasted with the other type of mandolin when you can't slice close or you'll cut your finger. If I can't find a better way to clean this, to the thrift store it goes and I'll go back to using a knife. The blade assembly piece that you push down, needs to be able to be removed from the top so it can be cleaned.
