Mandoline Slicer for Vegetable, Fruit [Made in Japan] Kitchen Peelers Japanese Stainless Steel Blade

It's a very useful cooking aid, but you have to be careful when using it so you don't slice your fingers. It's best to wear gloves when using it.

This Soonear mandolin slicer, made in Japan, is a true game-changer!The blades are razor-sharp and slice veggies and fruits like butter. You can adjust the settings to get any thickness you want, from paper-thin to thick slices. The slicer is smooth and easy to clean, and it’s small enough to fit in any kitchen.

Very sharp. Nice thickness control lever a little light weight like all the rest. I wish the made one out of a heavy resin so it had some heft to it. Overall I'd buy it again.

It is expensive, but works great. There are adjustments knobs to make slices thinner or thicker. Very convenient. Just be careful not to slice your fingers with any slicers. Use protective gloves.

I wasn't paying attention and thought this was a benriner mandolin, this is more of the grocery store variety of Japanese mandolin slicer. It doesn't cut very flat because of the gimmicky adjuster on the back instead of just a simple screw. The adjuster doest hold the cutting plane level and during use it shifts off the rails. I'm willing to bet this happens with all of them because of the design. If I was just using this at home I'd probably be really happy to be completely fair though. But I bought with the intent as a kitchen tool my staff would use. I guarantee it breaks by the end of the month. So yeah it just wasnt made for a commercial kitchen maybe I replace it with a benriner one and take it home.To reiterate, it doesn't cut items very evenly, kinda makes thems into a wedge. The adjuster jams, and pops off the rails and doesn't hold the cutting plane level during use. In my opinion the general quality is supermarket brand.Again if you're buying this for home it's probably a solid 4 stars especially if it's your first one.The biggest positive that it's really easy to change the blade that cuts things into julienne.

This is a great tool for any Chef.

I bought this instead of the Benriner, which I have at home up north. I chinced on a few bucks and regret it. I will probably buy the Benriner and just toss this one. It is too time consuming and difficult to adjust the blade for very fine slicing. The blade isn't nearly as sharp as the Benriner, either. I didn't realize how differently it was constructed or I would have never bought this one. I'm a retired fine dining chef and all we ever had in the professional kitchens was the Benriner. I now know why!! Spend the extra ten bucks and get the Benriner! I've had the same Benriner for 15 years and it's still sharp, and so much easier to use! If I could send this one back I would, but I've already used it a couple of times in the hopes I would like it...nope!

Just received this product and already in love with it!! My old slicer broke and I got this to replace it. Compared to my old slicer, this slicer require much less force to slice the foods. The handle at the end definitely helps stabilize the slicer. Option blades comes out very easily which makes the cleaning of the slicer easier as well. There are two features I really like about this slicer: the safety guard and the thickness adjuster.This slicer come with the safety guard which comes in handy when slicing smaller foods. This guard moves along the edge of the slicer which makes super easy to slice smaller pieces. I love this additional feature. With my old slicer I always ended up cutting the end piece with a knife since I was afraid to slice my finger. This safety guard definitely does it job and I am very happy that I can slice entire veggies only with the slicer.The thickness adjuster will let you adjust the thickness of the slice by just sliding the plastic piece behind the slicer closer or away from the blade. This feature is amazing!! Now I can choose the thickness of the slice depending on the recipe I make.Overall, this is very well crafted, user friendly slicer. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for basic slicer with very competitive price.
