BenrinerJapanese Vegetable Slicer, Old Version

It changed the way I cut vegetables and consequently improved taste of dishes Im so glad I got it I wish someone recommended it earlier Easy to use and clean Cuts fast

This mandolin has been around forever and is still made well and affordable and most important. It works great.

This is the sharpest, most handy mandolin for slicing cucumbers! It works for other things too but read the dimensions. I use it much more than my larger countertop one

Simplicity = perfect!It's virtually impossible to walk into a store and get a simple slicer/mandoline. They all try to be a Swiss army knife when all you need is to just slice stuff... not survive on a desert island. This thing is sharp, so treat it like a razor and pay attention when you're using it.Besides being darn good at slicing, it's a breeze to clean, unlike those other mandolines that have 87 attachments and tiny areas where food gets stuck forcing you to futz around near a very sharp blade.Worth every penny!

Just the best. I use it daily - radishes, cucumbers, carrots, more. You don't need the higher priced version with the stand and additional attachments. This one lays flat over a bowl, it's easy to hold at a slant over a board or plate, and it's lightweight and can hang on utility hooks with other kitchen implements. Extremely sharp - wear steel mesh gloves!

Works well for a simple device. Hard to use the food mover depending on what your grating. Helps if you cut the back surface of the vegetable so the teeth of the food mover can bite into it and you can guide it firmly. Makes extremely fine julienne. Easy to clean. A container for the blades would be nice.

I'm a chef and I own three of these. They cut wonderfully. Great weight and design. The metal tines on the attachments do eventually get bent with regular use - you can probably buy replacements but I just keep using them and still work alright.

By far the best mandolin for the money; absolutely no question about it. Not a surprise you see these in pro-kitchens—and in the background on cooking shows all the time…Do yourself a favor and buy a safety glove!
