ONCE FOR ALL Mandoline Vegetable Slicer, Manual Kitchen Veg Chopper Stainless Steel Blade for Julienne, Cubes, Fried Potato Carrot, Cucumber (Grenn.)

I found this item to be very easy to use.It is easy to set up and adjust the cutters.The cutting action is simple, effective and keeps your fingers well out of the way of the very sharp blades.It folds up to minimize storage space, although this does still leave the 'hopper' into which you feed the things to be sliced, but there's not really a way around that.Cleaning is reasonable easy, although sometimes things do get stuck in the blades, but a small cleaning brush is supplied to get into those awkward places.I've had various types of cutter and mandolins in the past, but this is probably the one I like best and definitely the safest to use.

Brilliant bit of kit

This arrived yesterday and I've used it twice.My first trial was a small baking potato, which fitted whole into the chute. The chopper made short work of turning it into chips, it needed none of the elbow grease that I've had to use with conventional mandolines. The chips were very small, though, even on the thickest settings.The second experiment was on salad, with half a carrot and a cucumber turned into juliennes, as thin as possible. This again worked well, but bits of carrot got trapped inside and were difficult to clean out (which is why I've knocked off one star - it's not as easy as just rinsing under the tap). The carrot stained the white plastic but the instructions tell you what to use to clean it (I haven't tried that yet).The chopper and all its parts seem to be very well made and sturdily built - time will tell, of course. It's far better than any of the other veg choppers I've tried, and probably less of a pain to clean too. It does take up a fair amount of storage space.The 6 page instruction booklet is clear, written in (good) English and illustrated with photographs.If you're looking for a veg chopper, this is the one to go for.

I was looking for an electric food slicer because I thought they would perform better than a manual but boy was I wrong. This product is really sharp and easy to use and clean and makes beautiful, even slices, batons or chips. The main blade has 8 different thicknesses and there are 2 small integrated blades that slice vertically to produce chips or batons. All blades are controlled by dials so there is no chance of coming into contact with them and cutting fingers. The whole machine is very strong, stable and easy to use. It also folds flat for storage.

Not to bad

I love this vegetable chopper. It dices vegetables in seconds taking all the hard work out of food preparation. There are good safety features - blade cover and suckers at the bottom for stability. It is easy to set up, clean and fold away with a retracting top. This vegetable slicer is value for money and is an attractive addition to the kitchen.

Unfortunately this is not the same product I bought from the same seller a year ago. The first one I bought was brilliant and the fact that it lasted a year with the amount of veg prep that goes on in our home kitchen, meant that it was really robust. So I ordered the same product from the same seller and what I received was utter garbage. Cheap plastic with a smaller veg holder than the original and a chute that wouldn't even fit in the slot. If you want one that will last, try the Supmakin brand and forget about this one.

Had it about a month now.Well made.Lots of choppng options.Very fine and easy thickness adjustment but I tend to use max and middle settings most of the time (8 and 4 mm).Takes a little while to get used to the adjustment and mode mechanism but easy once understood and used a few times.Easy to clean with brush/cleaner provided and fast running water.Folds away neatly.Found its best to use on a tray with squiggy fruit and veg as some liquid tends to escape the catch tray.Very fast cutting.Excellent for consistent thickness sweet potatoe slices but a slighly thicker setting than the max of 8mm would be useful.Fantastic for slicing salad and vegatables.Really pleased we purchased this particular product.
