I admire well engineered products and this is a well engineered product. I purchased this mandolin to make baked sweet potato chips; I used to hand slice the potatos. Traditional mandolins don't seem safe to me because your hand is either exposed, or semi-exposed to the blade. Not so, with this device. I felt very safe using it to make thin (controllable thickness) slices, without wasting potato at the end of the job to protect my hands.

Complete and accurate slices. Never once did it miss a slice or get stuck midway through a slice. It’s made of durable strong plastic which cleans up really easy and stores nicely. And the handle locks in the down position for safety. I only wish I had found this sooner. This is a machine I highly recommend for any kitchen…

Great product. Folds small, relatively easy to clean but the big selling point t is the safety and ease of use. My 7 year old was able to use it with supervision obviously but once he got going he did pretty well. Honestly this is a great purchase and completely worth the money. We chop so much faster with this and I feel much safer using it than a normal mandolin.
