Good Grips Handheld Mandoline Slicer

Great little mandolin. I'm not sure why people are so surprised they can cut themselves when they use this - it's literally a tool for slicing vegetables quickly and easily, it should be obvious that if it cuts a vegetable it will cut your hand. That being said, it's a really good slicer for its price. The thickness options are good and easy to change between, the thinnest is thinner than I expected given theres only 3 options, and its ridiculously easy to clean. I have one of the bigger ones with a box underneath that has all the different chopping attachments that I mostly just use as a mandolin and I wanted one to keep in my locker at work to be able to take healthier meals in as I work shifts, and if it wasnt for the fact that I want to still use the other chopping attachments I would bin that one and get another of these, as this is far superior.

Great kitchen tool, we use it for all slicing, the holder keeps fingers out of the way. Love the way of changing slice thickness it's so easy.

After purchasing the oxo potato peeler, going from ceramic to metal again I was dubious about the quality of this item as it was mainly plastic. My first thought was I don't think its gonna work... I used the item on the first setting to judge the thinnest slice it could produce, at first I didn't think it was working, but low and behold it did, all settings were fantastic. So I ho about slicing on the thinnest setting for my dauphinouir potato bake. Brilliant, consistent slices with minimal effort. Unbeknownst to me I had sliced the tip of my finger in the process I carry on going. Its only until I start grating the cheese I realise its coming out red :-/ the mandolin was SO GOOD I sliced my finger and didn't realise I'd done it!! Very nice clean cut, no jagged edges. Yes I should be more impressed with the potatoes but I was surprised I didn't feel a thing!! Please use the guard, I did revert to using the guard and it actually made the slicing process quicker!! Is fine to go in the dishwasher, I wouldn't trust sponge cleaning it in case it takes on your sponge and fingers, it does have a lock mechanism to raise the blade so it cant cut but I still wouldn't trust it. I think its out to get the whole set of digits....10/10 - minus my stupidity, its not the mandolins fault. What a lovely little gadget, I'm just glad I had it on the thinnest setting. I would give this five stars but my finger won't let me, it still holds a grudge.

Wow. I decided in my infinite wisdom that I needed a mandoline (after all, who doesn't?!). I actually just bought this for making ratatouille, which was amazing, and nicked my finger of the edge a tiny big (my own fault) - ouch! But was great to use and clean in the dishwaasher. The next day I decided to make a vegetarian lasagna, and therefore wanted to make long strips of courgette. Looking back I should have cut the courgette in half lengthways before subjecting it to my beginner mandoline culinary skills. I didn't, got distracted, didn't use the guard and whilst talking to my son, encountered the blade up and very personal with my thumb. Like love, the sting was sharp and the bleeding profuse - I held it above my my head which ran down my arm and freaked out my 6yr old who decided I needed an ambulance. I didn't, but boy the really thumb bleeds a lot! It looked like I had a crimson viper coiling it's way around and up/down my arm. Nothing seemed to help (and I had no steristrips), so I held it aloft, applied pressure til it was the calmest it could be and smeared it with superglue (my thumb not the mandoline). Eventually it healed/ stopped looking like I'd cut a major artery, and when everything was calm enough I removed the superglue (released the blood blister that had built up, steri-stripped the sides together (thank you husband) and glued the edges. Everything's good! Steri-Strips Skin Closures x 8 Loctite 0000602 Super Glue Tube - 3 g That is until I came to use it again today and found that at 5am my husband in his infinite wisdom, had decided to make toast with the mandoline on top - so it's now melted together. This was perfect for slicing, good guards, easy to use, dishwasher proof but not toaster/ husband proof! Need anoher one, and having looked at the others on the market, I don't see why I would need anything else but this one!

This is great. Makes getting thin and consistent Cucumber slices so easy, done in seconds. Easy to clean. Highly recommend

I cut myself on the 31st of December. Exceptional product! However it works sooo well that I sliced a piece of my thumb off. Hospital and all. I would say when using the guard make sure your thumb isn’t behind it, even for a second… However I finished my gratin when coming back from the hospital and it was delicious!

I literally lectured my husband about safety then cut my thumb on it myself 🙃 The reviews aren’t exaggerating- this thing is seriously sharp. But it makes slicing veg and fruit so fast and effortless, I still love it. Just don’t skip the hand guard!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I just wanted others to know before purchasing this product that the levels of thickness of the slices are 1mm, 2mm and 3mm being the thickest which is not useful for me as I wanted this for having thick potato slices. However this is a really good and easy to use, cuts through potatoes very easily so should be able to handle other fruit and veg. Just wish I had known what the thickness of the slicing would have been in the product description and then I would have known this is not the product for me. By the way this mandoline slicer does come with a food holder which basically has points on it so you poke that on to the veg you want to slice and then push the food across the blade to slice so your hands do not come into contact with the blade. However the food holder is not very good as it does not poke into the veg properly and in my case my potato kept falling off the food holder. The food holder is also the blade guard so do not discard thinking that it is a useless food holder. Overall I would score this item 2.5 out of 5.

買ってからずっと愛用しています。玉ねぎ、きゅうり、じゃがいもの薄切りなどで活躍しています。 今まで使ったスライサーの中では一番ストレスが少ないです。以前使っていたスライサーは常に刃がむき出しで見るだけで落ち着かない気分だったのですが、これは厚さ調節の部分で刃と本体の高さをほぼ水平にすることができます。 使用後の刃が引っ込み、しかも滑り止めがその部分を覆って隠しているだけでこんなに安心だとは・・・ もちろん切れ味もよいです。

İnanılmaz güzel

I always hesitated to buy one of these things because I felt it's more hassle (cleaning, storing, making sure you don't cut yourself etc.) than benefits but now that I got one I wish I'd done so sooner! It cuts everything perfectly and in a matter of seconds, it's safe to use, and the food looks much nicer! I'm glad I read some reviews before choosing this brand, as it seems they were right and this object is perfectly reliable. I feel my cooking life would have benefitted (and been more fun!) if I'd added this sooner.

Good

Worth every penny. Go for it. Easy to clean sharp good quality handy and it’s like another pair of magic hands
