The slicer does a good job on making waffle cut potatoes, which is what I wanted, but the safety holder (shown in the photo of the item) is not included, and there is no warning that this must be bought separately. The first instruction is "Alway use safety holder," which is a good instruction, and therefore the buyer should be warned ahead of time that it is not included - or else the holder should not appear in the picture of the product.

The potato goes into the slicer fairly easily to start, but it is rather difficult to get it to go all the way through for a complete slice. Perhaps if I had the safety holder, slicing would be easier. If you have another mandoline that uses the same safety holder, then you probably would not need to buy one, but unfortunately this was not the case for me.

Some of my favorite fries are waffle fries, and if I want them, I have to go to a particular local restaurant to get them. Not anymore! I'm extremely happy with my purchase, this thing makes them exactly like the ones I used to get at the restaurant. Although sweet potatoes are harder to run through, regular potatoes go through excellent. It's true, there is no holder for this item, so I ordered one when I ordered the slicer. The holder is alright, and works decently well, but I prefer to use the "Ove Glove" that I already have for using with my mandoline. The Ove Glove has kevlar in it so it will bind up in the blade instead of cutting through just in case you get a little to close. Plus you have much more dexterity with a glove than with a holder.

This is a great slicer, and I'm probably going to order another one to put in storage just in case anything ever happens to this one. I would just be beside myself if they stopped making this slicer and something happened to mine!

I love this waffle slicer but I do wish the Food Safety Holder came with it. I had the slicer several weeks before the Holder came in.

I am very satisfied with this product, it is easy to make waffle potatoes chips with this slicer. I was able to slice large potatoes without the holder and use the holder for the last pieces to avoid cutting my fingers.

This is an awesome cutter, we have taken them several places and now are getting them as gifts for friends because they loved it so much. it is true that there is no safety holder, but i just throw away the last 1/2 inch or so because even the safty holder doesn't get much closer than that. but still be careful because it is razor sharp.

This is an excellent, high quality slicer. I agree with the directions that you should always use the safety holder..that is not included. I see Amazon has corrected the image. The blades are very sharp and could easily slice fingers.

I've used it so far for vegetables and for waffle fries and I'm impressed. I'm happy with the purchase.

We purchased the Borner Mandoline and absolutely love it but we wanted a waffle slicer blade. Since they do not have this an attachment we purchased it. It takes some practice but after 1-2 times, you will get the hang of it and make some of the best waffle fries you've ever eaten!

When it first arrived I was skeptical, the cutter is made of plastic and I was concerned that it wouldn't hold up very well, but after using it for months I am happy to say it works really well,

I did notice that if you bear down too hard when slicing, the potatoes will get caught a bit, but if you just push it along gently it will slide right through.

This product is great, my two year old son
loves veggies and fruit. And he loves the
different shapes. I purchased multi box and
the v-wave waffle slicer. I would gladly tell
a friend with or without childern.

This little slicer is the best new gadget I received this Christmas! I bought it primarily to make "Cross-Cut Fries" and for Carrot & Cucumber chips out of the garden this summer. It really works exceptionally well, but don't blow the extra money on the "holder". I also bought the full size "V-Slicer" which has the so-called holder in it, so if you buy this slicer with or after the V-Slicer, you won't need to buy it separately for THIS one. But I've got to give my honest opinion - the holder is - USELESS. It's made of a hard plastic that doesn't HOLD anything. You can't grip the fruit or veggie you're trying to slice, and you have to raise it repeatedly to run the next slice... it gets irritating Q-u-i-c-k-l-y.

So yes, I admit it. I slice my stuff "freehand", but I do it with complete attention - and I've learned a few things... reserve a hot pad... you know, like you use to take pans out of the oven... when your potato (or whatever you're slicing) gets down to about half-way (or 2-3 inches from the blade) place it in the center of the hotpad and then grip the hotpad. The one I use is a very thick quilt, but only 6-7 inches across - PERFECT for slicing. If you over estimate how much veggie you have left, the slicer WILL stop at the hotpad.

I've used this method every time, and feel very comfortable with it. If you are not satisfied with the "Holder" they offer, try THIS idea.

Other than that, this slicer AND the V-Slicer are both awesome products! The slices come out beautiful and uniform, and YOU decide what the thickness should be. Even in the slicing gauge, if the slice is too thick, run the veggie lightly, if it's too thin, press heavily. Between the 3 settings and the pressure you apply, you really have a vast array of thickness options.

Good luck - hope this helps.
