[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mandoline works very well. The plastic is heavy duty and won't crack as it is used. The way the blades are interchanged is simple and easily done. It cuts and slices and juliennes well. The way the blades fit along the flat cutting ramp is a bit uneven and causes the food to bump into it. The cleaning is difficult because all the blades must be cleaned by hand while the mandoline itself is dishwasher safe, so you would have to remove all the blades and attachments even if they hadn't been used in order to wash it. It is a good mandoline and the blades are sharp and functional. The design flaws (storage of blades inside the mandoline itself) and the ramp not being smooth are small hiccups that I would prefer not to deal with, but for occasional household use, it works fine. If you were to need to use this everyday, I would find another product.

Difficult to clean and reassemble. Doesn't cut harder vegetables like carrots very well.

it only cuts shoestring size fries. the blades are hard to change without getting cut. it might be ok for other cutting but I think its unwieldy.

Other mandolines change blades with the turn of a knob but with this one, in addition to turning a knob, you have to switch in and out several blades which snap into the body of the tool itself. I found it nearly impossible to put the blades back in their storage slots and cut my fingernail off removing the blade from the slicing position. Too much of a struggle to deal with on a daily basis. I wanted to like it because some of the other mandolines only cut very thin slices, and this one goes up to a quarter inch for both slices and juliennes.

It works, but not without a lot of hassle. Feel like this thing would only be worth the time if you were slicing A LOT of veggies, and in that case you'd be better off buying something better. This is very poor design. I'm frankly surprised they still sell this. The instruction manual gives no instruction on how to remove the julienne/french fry blades. Probably because they know how dangerous the bad design is, and giving the actual instruction sets up the customer to cut themself. The answer is you have to pull it upward out of the unit with force, which is extremely dangerous, so you need to drape something thick like a dishtowel over it first. Pass on this. They designed it so that you buy it, use it once or twice and then toss it in frustration.
