Swissmar Börner V Power Mandoline, V-7000, (White)

Swissmar is best in the world, I watched so many review videos about it, ordered it and find it extremely useful. But please remember, the blades are extremely sharp. I was saved just buy luck '. Please be careful. But otherwise it's excellent product, don't look at the price, it wil last a lifetime

As expected a good product from Borner but the delivery was very late . The cuts of veggies were like a pro. Must have in the kitchen . Helps for the busy schedules of Moms.No fuss no mess.

This is sharp slicer. can't slice the whole, left some uncut.

After trying my hands at quite a few mandolines and slicer in the market and being disappointed with it, I finally zeroed on to Swissmar Borner after a lot of research and googling. Initially I had apprehensions buying it considering its high price, but after reading a lot of reviews I decided to buy this. I have been using this for regularly about a month now and I am very happy with my decision and purchase. I have recently got into salad making, and this has made life really easy and fast. For a food enthusiast or someone who has lot of cutting and slicing to do, I think it is a good addition to their kitchen. Pros - Its sharp, simple and easy to use and with safe storage. Expedites the cutting and chopping work – for both everyday cooking and elaborate cooking for occasions. - I have used this on variety of vegetables – both hard (potatoes, beets & yam) and soft ones (tomatoes, strawberries, bananas), it works perfectly good with both the textures. I could slice, julienne and cube the vegetables with desired thickness. - Adjusting the thickness and Changing blade is very simple and convenient. Cons - It’s very sharp, if you don’t respect it you will soon know what you will end up with :). - It's definitely Pricey - Though it does a great job, I do wish that it had a larger cubing blade and a larger fry blade - Small amount of waste as u cannot slice until the end of the vegetable. However if u use the hand guard, u can avoid it to an extent (I use my knife to prepare those last pieces and thus have zero waste.)

Excellent! Makes chopping and other prep work a lot easier.

The level adjuster is a nice addition to previous model. We had the prev model for almost 15 years! You can't be more careful in handling the V slicer. The blades are extremely sharp. Be careful.

It is a very nice product and is very useful.Also the quality of the blades and plastics is very good.

Altogether Great product Good when you know how to use it. Easy chopping. Reduces your veges cutting time to half.

Muy bien

When I saw the latest fad, a vegetable "spiralizer" that makes veggie "spaghetti" out of things like zucchini, I thought veggie sphaghetti was something actually worth giving a try. The problem is that I didn't need another cheaply made, single-purpose gizmo in my kitchen. So I bought this. It doesn't make long "spaghetti" like the spiralizer does, but julienning a zucchini lengthwise works just as well. I then quickly sauté the strips in butter and season with salt and pepper. That's a new family favorite, which is something because zucchini is a vegetable and there aren't many of those on the favorites list. Best of all you can julienne a zucchini with this thing in a couple of seconds; it's way faster than using one of those chintzy spiral gizmos. In fact everything this device does, it does insanely FAST. With it you can slice, dice and julienne your way through a mountain of vegetables far faster than you can with a knife. The only problem is that the speed with which this thing works is slightly terrifying, and I speak as someone who's cooked with *very* sharp knives all my adult life. The safety holder is a good thing, but it works best with spherical stuff like tomatoes. Julienning zucchinis is slightly awkward because the little tines that hold the vegetable secure aren't quite long enough, but it still works. I also wear an anti-cut glove on my working hand, just in case my attention wanders. This thing is beyond razor-sharp; it'd be so easy to julienne the tips of your fingers off in a moment of distraction... Clean-up is another thing that requires some initial thought. Tossing the the blades into a tub of soapy water could be very bad for someone's groping fingers. A quick rise with the sprayer, a dunk in soapy water, followed by another spray does the job. One really thoughtful feature is that the mandoline and auxillary blades fit into a caddy that also doubles as a drainer. So after you give your mandoline and julienne blade their quick cleaning, you pop them into the caddy and put the whole thing in the dish draining rack. That's a really nice touch because ou do not want to leave a mandoline around disassembled. I don't mean to scare you off a mandoline; they're a very useful addition to your kitchen if you already have a good set of knives. You just have to give a little thought about how to approach each task as you're getting used to using one. Figure out what works safely and stick to that. This model in particular has a well-thought out safety features. I still use knives for most small slicing and dicing operations. If I were dicing just two onions, I'd definitely use a knife. It's sitting right there in the knife block and it cleans up in just an instant. If I were dicing four onions I'd definitely take the mandoline out.

Purchased this exact model 12 years ago, great quality, still like new. Days ago I needed very thin slices of ham, I knew this mandoline wasn’t designed for meat but had nothing to lose apart from a couple of slices of ham all mangled up. Amazingly this mandoline sliced the ham perfectly. Tried three different thicknesses, all perfect. Just shows how sharp the V blades have stayed after 12 years of moderate use. Thumbs UP!

My first Swissmar Borner mandolin was purchased 20 years ago. As a former chef, I had purchased mandolins for over $200 and returned them because they were a disappointment. When I received my first Swissmar mandolin I was disappointed and thought it was a cheap piece of crap...until I tried it and realized that they put all the money in the blades. You can slice a ripe tomato in slices so thin you can see through it...great for pizza! I kept that unit for 15 years and threw it out figuring the company had updated the unit and made the body as awesome as the blade. It cut as well after 15 years as the day I bought it...then I found there had been no change and bought another of the same unit 5 years ago. I have that unit to this day but when I saw they FINALLY updated the body I jumped at it. First of all I LOVE the new safety feature that protects the blade flat...I now have a grandson and always worry he will find it in a drawer and cut himself...and those blades are sharp. Unlike the old unit where you flipped the plate over for thick or thin, you have several options for thickness. The grip feet at the base are nice and the holder for the other two blades is an improvement. Although it's still plastic, it doesn't look as cheap as the older model and the plastic is better quality. The blades are the gem here and it remains the same. You can still slice that tomato paper thin or nice and thick or in between. I paid a fortune for my food processor but this is what I break out 90% of the time. When my daughter found out I bought this unit she begged me for my old one...I ordered her one of these instead. Now if they would only make this in stainless steel I would pay the high price tag...maybe someday. In the meantime enjoy a really well made mandolin for a bargain price...and please don't ignore the safety holder...20 years ago I thought I could do without it until it took a good chunk of my knuckle...now I might start slicing a carrot or cucumber without it but once I get halfway I put the guard on...these blades are REALLY sharp. I have always put it in the dishwasher and never had a problems with warping, rusting or dulling.

I kinda love this tool! I mostly use the plain blade and slice onions, mushrooms, celery and peppers to fry up for a morning omelette. The super thin slices are paper thin for those vegetables. I have also used that setting for beets, to make beet chips which are amazing! It is trickier though with hard vegetables like beets, rutabegas, and yams to keep the slices that thin; it takes more force (using the holder of course!) to push them against the blade, and this can make the plastic under the item flex downward slightly so the slices come out a little thicker. The holder is a must for most vegetables or you risk shaving the skin off your fingers. One tiny radish can be sliced into about 20 thin slices. I don't use the other attachments much because they are more awkward and the multiple "daggers" that stick up seem scary. I have used them to make coleslaw though. I always rinse everything under the tap as soon as I'm done slicing. Beets and carrots leave a slight stain, but if I put dish liquid (Dawn) on the stains they will get fairly cleaned off. I use this mandolin almost every day. It stores easily in a cupboard, and the uniform slices are great for making vegetables stretch further. Good for pizza toppings and salads too. Tomatoes are best not sliced quite paper thin, but the next thickness up is good. I used to use a food processor to slice vegetables, but the mandolin does a cleaner cut. Great tool for garnishing salads or meals in general
