Great slicer while it lasts,
By Sandy P "saprater" (GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Benriner Japanese Mandoline Slicer (Kitchen)
This is an excellent slicer. I've used everything in it from carrots (when making my carrot version of thai papaya salad) julienned into matchstick thickness to wide thin slices of Korean radish. Never failed me.
Two drawbacks though: 1. The safety guard is a joke. It doesn't hold the veggies very well and is a pain to use effectively...which means I usually don't use it. I've cut my fingers on this mandolin twice now, which isn't bad for two years of regular useage, but I don't like the sight of blood so I'll leave it as a major detractor. Luckily for me, I cut myself on the julienne part and not the actual wide slicer. In other words, my finger meat was left shredded but intact. Whew! 2. The metal parts rust. Yep. They rust. Hence the reason I am now shopping around for another slicer. Don't know yet if I'll get another Benriner. Might look into the Bohn. ***Update*** Apparently Benriner realized the metal parts rusted because their mandolins now come with plastic screws to hold the julienne blades in place and to adjust the thickness level.

This review is from: Benriner Japanese Mandoline Slicer (Kitchen)
THis is a great item which is used several times per week in my kitchen, primarily for slicing cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, and other vegetables. the basice slicing blade stays sharp and is easy to adjust. Careful! It's easy to cut yourself! I suggest getting a kevlar or other cut-resistant glove (such as the steel gloves used by fish mongers or meat packers); I find them to be more convenient and more useful than the plastic holding tool. The finest julienne blade was a problem for me; if I slammed a hard carrot through its teeth, occasionally the teeth bent; be careful that the vertical thicknes of the julienne is not more than the width of the julienne cuts. I don't care for having to keep track of the separate blades when they're not in the slicer, but it's not much different than tracking accessories for a mixer or a Cuisinart.
I have a Bron stainless steel mandoline, whcih costs well over $100 more but the Benriner is what I turn to again and again.

DON'T BUY THIS,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Benriner Japanese Mandoline Slicer (Kitchen)
This little guy works great, but unless you are absolutely positive that you will never want to cut anything larger than a medium sized mushroom, do yourself a favor and get the "Super" model. It's essentially the same thing only it's wide enough to take on whole potatoes, onions and fennel bulbs, and it has metal adjustment knobs to boot.
It's my understanding that these are high carbon steel blades, and yes, that does mean that they will rust if you put them in the dishwasher or forget to dry them thoroughly. Nothing a little Barkeeper's Friend can't fix, and a light coating of vegetable oil after washing can help keep the rust at bay if you live in a particularly humid environment. A cut resistant glove would be a wise investment whatever model you end up with.
