I just used this to prepare some of my vegetables for the week.  Shredded cabbage, sliced cucumbers, daikon radish and shredded carrots,  Very sharp with sturdy based that stays in play and doesn't slip.  Has a good handle to grip.  Highly recommend.

I got this book for my birthday last month and I really got hooked to using it. Now I am buying more zucchinis and carrots like never before. The seafood and chicken dishes are my fave. Amazing recipes.

Makes you feel like a pro. I became a complimented baker and wear the chef's coat when I bake to keep the food handling clean.

This mandolin slicer has been a very positive addition to my kitchen, and my cooking. There are many vegetables that were difficult to prepare before I had this slicer. Vegetables like beets or turnips are no so easy to integrate into my dishes now, after I slice, julienne, cut or grate them. In the past I did process these veggies by hand, but it takes so much time, and the mandolin slicer gets the job done so quickly. Cucumbers are delicious , but chopping them by hand is tedious. Ive been able to turn cucumbers into slaw super quick, and it goes great on any plate with a little dressing. It is so good as a light salad with spicy dishes like curries. The unit itself is small, light weight, and fits easily in my cabinet. I find that switching the blades out is easy, and they clean up fast too. I learned a lot about how to start using it right away by reading the ebook that was provided.

I would recommend this mandolin slicer to any cook who enjoys vegetables, and creating dishes that are fun, healthy, and have great presentation on the plate.

Great job on carrots and harder veggies.  Not so great for leafy greens.  I used the greens in salads so they didn't go to waste but from now on will stick to firmer vegetables.

It shocked me at first when slicing, as the carrots fed VERY quickly through the small feeder tube. So far I like it and feel it is very much worth the price.

I work with fresh fruit and vegetables a lot, and I'm always on the look out for a new tools to help prepare them, and I've been considering a mandoline slicer for quite some time, and finally took the plunge with this one.

First thing's first: The package and the mandoline slicer itself were actually larger than I expected, but everything was quite sturdy. The "feet" of the mandoline slicer had a rubberized grip to them that kept it from sliding around, and you can fold them under while storing them. When in a raised, angled position, I was able to fit a narrow cutting board underneath it without issue, but definitely be aware that this particular slicer doesn't come with any mechanism to "catch" what you're preparing. It comes with the eight items shown in the photos plus a set of instructions:

- The Mandoline Slicer
- 3 Slicing Inserts: 1.5mm (1/16'), 2.5mm (1/12'), 3.5mm (1/8')
- 2 Julienne Inserts - 3.5mm (1/18'), 7mm (1/4')
- A Safe Storage Rack
- A Slicing Guard with Stainless Steel Prongs
- Instructions Manual and Warranty Registration

The slicer and inserts feel very sturdy and well-made and have a glossy black plastic finished that is accented by the stainless steel blades. I wish it was a touch more compact, but I also acknowledge that the multitude of parts in this kit offers a lot of versatility for a variety of tasks. I attempted cutting the following: onions, carrots, peppers, potatoes, zucchini, and all of them sliced quite easily. In particular, I really liked the way the slicing guard was set up. It felt very solid and I liked that the prongs were stainless steel, which easily pierced firmer objects like onions and potatoes.

You can change the inserts easily by snapping them in and out by pressing the red button in. There is also a storage part that comes with the slicer to hold the extra inserts so they can be kept together safely.

Clean up was relatively easily once I realized it was much more efficient to separate everything and wash it by hand individually. I was definitely a bit nervous about hurting myself on the blades, so I would recommend extreme caution as you wash and dry the sharp inserts in particular.

On the whole, I felt this was a very sturdy mandoline slicer that would service a variety of fruits and vegetables with ease. I would definitely recommend it if you're considering a large mandoline slicer for your kitchen.

I saw this gadget in a cooking class.  When I got home, I bought two of them.
One for me, and the other for me.  I put the other one in the drawer of my vacation house.
Just remember to buy big carrots. And have fun.

First I bought a mandolin to julienne my carrots and cucumbers for California rolls.  That machine was an accident waiting to happen.  Since I like my fingers the way they are I decided to try this gadget for cutting strips of carrots.  Let me tell you this gadget not only was easy to use but I felt safe using it.  I use a fork to hold down the carrot and depending on how much pressure I use,  I can make the strips thin or a bit thicker.  I also bought the potato peeler, both work great!

I purchased the kitchen hero spiral slicer a week ago, I tried it on carrots so far, it worked as described.  I have a shoulder injury which sometimes makes holding and twisting things painful.  This was easy for me to do, cant wait for zucchini season. It was packaged nicely, cleaned up with just a rinse of water.

This juicer was being demonstrated in a specialty market.  I had the person make me a couple of different juices not so much for taste, but more for the amount of juice I could expect to get from things like carrots and celery.  I bought one and I have never second-guessed my decision.  The thing is super fast, seems to be very well made, but the aspect I couldn't tell during the demo was how easy it is to clean.  After making my juice, I can clean everything in three minutes.

My favorite juice is 3 small oranges, one apple, one small carrot, one stalk of celery, and a banana.  I split it with my wife.  Great!  I know I'm going to enjoy this for many years to come.

I love shredded carrots,  beets,  broccoli stems and maybe throw in a dozen whole
almonds.  The Universal Slicer/Shredder makes this easier than any appliance I've
ever tried.  The ingredients taste fresher than those in the "salad-pak"  type
products available.  It's an investment I think will pay off.

Admittedly, this is a *very* specialized kitchen gadget since it is advertised as only a carrot mincer. But I have to disclose that not only does it mince carrots as advertised (and does it very well) but also a few other veggies that I might have accidentally (ahem) thrown in if only because it seemed such a waste to only churn away at just carrots here. So I'm happy to report that the Paderno World Cuisine Carrot Mincer also happily minces garlic and onions exceptionally well (I used the larger of the two graters that came with the product), so yay!

Now, a quick word as to the mechanics of this handy little machine. It is, of course, purely hand driven: nothing electrical about this baby, so you'll be able to happily mince away even when the power is out. It was easy to set up - the directions are as clear as a bell - and takes all of two minutes. The bottom of the unit is designed to suction right to a smooth counter top and not move....I have a granite counter top and this unit wasn't moving an inch. It's secure, all right. Once set up, I started by throwing in some carrot chunks using the larger of the two provided grater sizes. The carrots came out beautifully minced...perfectly fine for, say, tiny minced carrots in a coleslaw (think KFC style coleslaw). I used the same size grate to throw in some garlic and it was perfect for minced garlic to saute up...yum. As I mentioned, I also used it to mince onions -- there was a lot of liquid that was squeezed out when I did that, but to be expected with an onion.

I can't imagine how fine of pieces I'll get with the smaller size grater (carrot dust?), but the machine works very, very well. It isn't too hard to crank, the smaller the chunks you throw in there, the easier it is to crank. I'll probably come up with some other creative veggies to mince along the way, but for now (canning and soup season coming upon us), I'm thrilled with my carrots and garlic idea. It's a lot easier than cleaning out my little baby food processor every time I want to chop something very fine (which often gives me uneven results at best). All in all, it's a gadget. But a fun one and one that does what it says it's going to do.

I love it, have done carrots on it tho and had a hard time cleaning it, I questioned it and was told to soak it immediately after use, especially for me after carrots and to use a toothbrush for those hard to reach areas, works great so happy I got it, thank you!!!
