PrepSolutions Stainless Steel Blade Easy Adjustable Mandolin Slicer

I recommend this product, and I totally recommend purchasing cutting safety gloves along with it!! These mandolins are fast for slicing and easily cut you when using them. By saying “these mandolins” I do not mean this particular product. I am talking about ANY of these tools. ALL of them are fast cutting. I love this mandolin, but I would not use it without a safety glove.

Sharp blade. easy to use. the hand grip makes it convenient to prevent you from scraping your fingers on the blade. adjust to different sizes. Able to use over a bowl so the slices will not be falling on the counter or table. caution must be used when cleaning to prevent cutting yourself on the blade (make sure blade is in the locked position when cleaning).

After nicking my thumb, rereading the directions, and turning the pusher the right side up, this thing is like sliced bread. I use it tomato slices of thick and medium thicknesses for sandwiches, and the same for onions. The blade is super sharp, nicked thumb proved that. I practiced with slicing an onion first, then tackled the tomatoes. I played with slicing stuffed green olives, with some success.

Blade is super sharp, no "catching" of what you're trying to slice. Simple to use, works great. I bought a different slicer from a competitor (little more $$) and it's terrible compared to this one, I'll be returning. I like the button for width of the slice, they are the perfect sizes for veggies/fruit - I even used it to slice a semi-frozen steak to make fajitas - it worked GREAT. I can definitely recommend.

The thin slices are about as thin as you could possibly get for any slicer and are see-through, and it goes up from there to somewhere less than a quarter of an inch thick, maybe an eighth. Good design overall since it has a lock function for stuff like cleaning (though you can cut yourself if you try) and very easily adjustable thicknesses. One notable struggle is that you have to figure out the right pressure and timing for certain vegetables such as cucumbers at higher thicknesses. The food gripper or safety thing is terrible, however. The spikes are nowhere near deep enough to actually lock into a normal-sized fruit or vegetable; everything falls out.

Made my most perfect batch of pickled red onions with this love how it slices! I love how you u can change the settings for thickness. I’m so glad I finally got this such a time savor %26 also makes your veggies pretty/

I thought this was a good buy and it performs well. Blades are sharp and adjusting the slices was easy. Although I mentioned the slicer performs well, I found the food safety holder to be awkward and not a suitable holder. I don't know if this is from operator error due to never using a mandolin before or if the plastic is not strong enough to hold food items. I found it to be a handy tool but I'm looking to upgrade.

I have the salad spinner that has the blade attachments, but it slices too thin. I love this one because it has 3 slice levels and also a lock position so that you don't accidently cut yourself and it also comes with the veggie holder, double ensuring you don't cut yourself.

I bought this thinking it would be an ok mandolin. It has exceeded my expectations. The adjustability is awesome and easy to use. The blade is VERY sharp and the deck you slide the food on is wide for a hand held unit. It is easy to clean. I have an expensive counter top mandolin that is incredibly difficult to clean. It now sits in the closet and might not get used much anymore. Great basic mandolin and for the price, when the blade dulls, toss it and get another one.

While the blade is very sharp and can be adjusted for thickness, the plastic guard used to hold the food to slice is flat and stiff and not shaped to hold round items (tomatoes, lemons, onions, etc). It almost is a hazard for cutting your fingers. The only item it might work for is something flat (cheese?). Unless you want to wear some kind of glove that will protect your fingers from getting sliced, I would not recommend this item.
