Gramercy Adjustable Mandoline Slicer for Kitchen, Potato Cutter, Vegetable Chopper, Mandolin, Cucumber Slicer- INCLUDING one Pair Cut-Resistant Gloves and Waffle Fry Cutter

Ever read some reviews and wonder if people are reviewing the item you're looking at and if they read the manual? Forget about the reviews that say it leaves black plastic bits in their food. There's an arrow showing how to face the food spear/holder. That plastic is from them using it exactly 180 degrees off the way it is designed to work. Doesn't save time? I guess if you have almost Gordon Ramsay knife skills, sure. I don't. This thing is sharp. It cuts clean and fast. Need consistent cuts? Near perfect. For dehydrating foods, this assures every piece is dried to the same degree. A knife pro may be able to cut single slices faster, but twist the lower blade to julienne or to french fries and this mandoline will absolutely smoke them. If there's large quantities of cutting to be done, I'll use this hands down (but fingers UP! It's seriously sharp. Missing finger sharp). Clean up may take longer than washing a knife but the stainless steel cleans easily and with the included brush, getting between the lower blades is easy. While this is fun to try "fancy" foods, the food holder spikes do not allow for full cutting of your food. Once you get down to what could be the last slice, the holder slips off the food and won't cut it. The tolerances are just too tight. I dislike wasting food. I won't even suggest how I work around it, because it's dangerous and stupid. Just know there will be some waste unless you get a knife out to not have any waste. After 3 years this is still better than razor sharp on the original blades and going strong. I've had zero problems with its functionality. I'd like to add 2 things: 1) Be careful how you store and pick this up. Even with the blade guard on the flat blade, the wavy blade is still exposed underneath and out of sight. Grabbing it from the business end could lead to injury. I cut myself not once, but twice immediately after the first cut reaching inside the drawer to get it out. Why? Because the initial cut was so sharp, the pain didn't register until I had already used the other hand (thinking the first was a pinch and a fluke) to try to grab it again. Always store this where the handle is what you reach for. 2) The description says it will cut waffle fries. No and sort of. If you imagine the perfect waffle fry or search for images, this will not do that. If it can, I have yet to figure out how. What I get is a very thin version of a waffle fry so technically it's possible. The key is pressure. After the first cut, you turn the food 180 degrees and press SLIGHTLY to achieve the waffle holes you're looking for. It took practice. If you just want waffles without the holes it's easily done at any thickness. But is that really a waffle fry? The depth of the "crinkle cut" blade just isn't deep enough to make them efficiently.

PERFECT for FISH FRY!!!! For the price, I did not expect too much, but WOW this thing is amazing! It cut my potatoes for a fish fry perfectly! It was fast and simple and adjustable therefore I could cut some to the thinness of a potato chip and others thicker. My new MUST HAVE for a fish fry!

works well. very sharp. must use gloves.

I'm impressed with the quality and versatility of this mandoline. It comes with everything you need to use this (VERY SHARP) tool safely in the kitchen. I like having the ability to slice, julienne, and waffle cut all with the same slicer. I'm by no means an expert in the kitchen, so it feels like a safe bet for the entry-level cook. There's not a super convenient way to store all of the pieces, but that's going to be the case with any mandoline slicer. Not all of them come with this many accessories, so that's a bonus. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and will get a good amount of use out of it. Anything to help me cook at home more is a win in my book!

I got this to replace, or maybe augment, a ridiculously expensive mandoline I received as a gift a few years ago. (It has its own suitcase and costs about 8X what I paid for this one). This one is so much more convenient to setup, use, and clean I don't think the other will come out of its case anytime soon. The dual flip-over blade and combination thickness/julienne roller is just clever, and means you don't have to keep track of a bunch of blades and parts to perform different functions. It's also relatively easy to clean and store compared to more industrial grade ones. So far, it's had no problem with carrots or potatoes, sliced both smooth and wavy/waffle, and English cukes practically slice themselves on it. I really think this will see a lot of use in my kitchen this summer.

The blades aren't as sharp as it needs to be to ensure smooth cutting operations. Also it leaves our a significant bit towards the end that there is no way of cutting. Creates either a lot of waste or makes it time consuming the cut the last bit or dangerous of you try to do it by hand without the guide.

This is one of the best slicer. It comes with all safety tools and working like a charm

Good product which could be improved by altering the design to allow for blade replacement.

Es fácil usarla pero siempre con medidas de seguridad, porque su cuchilla está muy afilada y al principio me llegué a cortar levemente. Sin embargo, es un aditamento que facilita y hace rápidos los cortes de frutas y verduras. Se lava fácilmente y hasta el momento ha sido muy resistente

And fast, and one doesn’t get tired too much of slicing, and more accurate than manually slicing ofc
