Zakarian by Dash Safe Slice Mandoline for Vegetables, Meal Prep & More with 30+ Presets & Thickness Adjuster - Zakarian Blue

I’ve owned one mandolin slicer in my life. When I cut the tips of 4 fingers and had to endure the ordeal of their slow healing, I swore I’d never own another. Until I saw a cooking video using a slicer similar to this one. It is sharp, producing quick and easy slices from thin to thick easily, and the adjustable blade (from 1 to 8) is simple. I will tell you there is a bit of a learning curve with the julienne blades, but I’ll learn how they work eventually. Right now I’ve made scalloped potatoes and sliced cucumbers for pickling and it couldn’t be easier. It has 4 parts, the chute, the pusher, the mandolin blade, and the container to catch whoever you’re slicing. The parts disassemble for easy storage, taking up little space in my cabinet. I like how it can be thrown into the dishwasher or rinsed in the sink and allowed to dry. But above all that, it keeps the fingers clear of the slicing blades. I highly recommend this product to anyone.

Wow! Just as the video reports, it's wonderful. I haven't tried fries yet, but cucumbers, carrots, zucchini, everything cuts in seconds and clean up is very quick. Top rack of dishwasher safe, but I just rinsed off after soapy water and let it air dry and great. Highly recommend this product despite being a bit over $70.00 Canadian. The safety of use is worth this. I have a friend last week that sliced his finger on a mandolin, and I'm not taking any chances. If I can spend $7 on a latte, I'm worth the $70 to save the fingers that carry that latte !

Love this and how it works. Only downfall is it cuts at an angle so you have to pay attention to how you load it.

I have an old school mandolineand have used it for years. However, I've always feared loosing a fingertip or two. No more fear!!! Additionally my old mandoline also had several inserts for julienning. No more - These blades are built-in and easy to put into use. I have used it for making a mirepoix in just minutes. Quckly slicing potatoes and onions for a potatoes au gratin! It's so fast and fun. Seems to also be vrey sturdy. My only wish is that it had bigger opening for the deliver chute and receptical for the output. If a bigger version comes out, I'm sure I'll be lining up to buy it.

This is a terrific product! HOWEVER, I have a problem with Amazon stating on the site that "the product was left at the front desk or with a receptionist" when neither of these situations EXISTS at my condominium. How about just being honest & stating what actually happens which is "product was left on the floor of the condo mail room & the recipient was not notified via the condo call box" (which takes all of 2 seconds to do)
