Amazon.com Review
For more precise slicing than a food processor can deliver, a mandoline is the kitchen tool of choice. This professional-level mandoline has two hinged legs that open up to support the mandoline in a slide-like position and a non-skid coating on the legs keeps the slicer stable on any surface. Using the five spikes and numerous other pointed grips on the underside of the black plastic food pusher, you can get a firm hold on any fruit or vegetable for slicing. Sliding the pusher up and down along the mandoline’s stainless-steel gliding track with even pressure on its handle begins the slicing process. This mandoline comes with five high-carbon stainless-steel blade attachments neatly packed in a plastic storage box. Blades easily slide into place from the side of the mandoline and lock securely to prevent shifting during slicing. The attachments include a smooth blade for producing even slices of potatoes, lemons, or radishes; a fluted blade for making crinkle-cut carrots or cucumbers or waffle-cut potatoes; and three additional julienne blade attachments in 4-, 6-, and 10-millimeter widths for cutting potatoes for French fries or making skinnier strips of carrot or shiitake mushroom. Two tightening knobs on the upper half of the mandoline adjust the blade up or down for thicker or thinner cuts, respectively. The mandoline blade requires regular maintenance with a sharpening steel or stone to keep its edge sharp. The manufacturer recommends that you wash the blade by hand to preserve its edge, but the rest of the mandoline can be cleaned in the dishwasher. MIU France provides a lifetime guarantee on the mandoline’s stainless-steel construction. --Cristina Vaamonde

Affordable price, but poorly designed,
By A Customer
This review is from: MIU 5-Piece Professional Mandoline (Kitchen)
I purchased the MIU France Mandoline because of its $69 price tag--comparable stainless steel mandolines I've shopped for cost between $100 to $150. However, I have returned this item because of several diffrent reasons. The instructions are very poorly devised, with minimal text and hard-to-interpret illustrations. There was no specific instruction on how to insert the blades, so I had to fiddle and fidget with the blades to figure out how they fit into the apparatus. Secondly, the hand guard is very bulky and awkward to hold if you have smaller hands. No matter how many different ways I've tried to grip it, the hand guard felt too big and uncomfortable in my hand. It seems that they did not take ergonomics into account when designing this part. Finally, the hand guard does not grip the food very well so that it fell out and resulted in uneven slices. Those bad design flaws combined resulted in much frustration and a badly cut finger. Hence, I do not recommend this item unless you have large hands or have infinite patience for poorly designed kitchen tools with almost no instructions.

Wear a protective glove...,
By Sneeze Girl (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MIU 5-Piece Professional Mandoline (Kitchen)
I found this particular mandoline to be very effective at slicing all types of food. After having a very inexpensive version for years, I upgraded to this model (I don't use it enough to justify $150 for the high end versions). For the money, this device is excellent. The food gripper is a little tough to use so I only use it when the remaining food item is short and I don't want my hands near the blade. The blades are very sharp and seem to be of high quality. The adjustment lever is hard to figure out at first but works fine. As with any sharp kitchen appliance, you should absolutely invest in a mesh glove to protect your hands during slicing.
