3.0 out of 5 stars Not sharp enough, February 24, 2006

Although this mandoline is sturdy and fits together well (as far as changing the blades), the blades were not sharp enough when I received them to easily slice or julienne pototoes or carrots. I would think they should go through the slicer much easier than they did. I had to really bear down hard, and the slices were really choppy, rather than smooth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dull and useless blades, August 13, 2006

I bought this exact item for about $20 at a Tuesday Morning store that mostly carries items that were returned from stock at other stores.

The slicer is solidly built and looks beautiful out of the box. But the looks are deceiving. The problem is that the blades are so dull that the slicer is completely useless. You must use a lot of force to cut with these dull blades. Moreover, carrots and potatoes will end up smashed up rather than julienned if you try to use the fine blades.
