2.0 out of 5 stars
Dulls too quickly,
This review is from: Pinzon Stainless-Steel Mandoline (Kitchen)
I bought this as a gold box item, thankfully, because otherwise I would have returned it. All I use it for is to slice onions thinly. I've used the straight blade less than 10 times and it is already dull. I read the reviews for the previous Pinzon mandoline which were universally terrible but I also read that Amazon had taken that model off the market and replaced it with this one which was supposed to be much better but my complaint is the same as the other model. Also the slices get stuck in the machine. I had better luck with my plastic V-slicer. I gave the mandoline 2 stars because it does have a lot of attachments and is easy to use but it is difficult to clean and doesn't serve its main purpose, to slice!
Update 2/29/08: I now absolutely hate this product. The straight blade has completely dulled. The food slices get caught under the mandoline by the blades that are turned to dice the food rather than slip out to the bowl or plate underneath. Make sure you use the food holder to slice because the blade is so dull, the food slips and you will get cut. This mandoline is going in the trash. I won't even donate it because I'm afraid someone will get hurt.

It works, but...,

This review is from: Pinzon Stainless-Steel Mandoline (Kitchen)
It does a good job of slicing but I am reluctant to use it unless I have a large volume to slice. It requires great care and time to clean it after each use. If you just have one onion, for example, don't bother with it. If you have a 10 pound bag of potatoes, it will save you time and will make uniform slices. However, the slices drop down below the unit which is already slanted downward so there is not much room for the slices to accumulate before you have to remove them. I think it would be better to have all legs the longer length so there is more clearance below the blade and you could place a bowl to catch the slices.

Beautiful.....,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pinzon Stainless-Steel Mandoline (Kitchen)
...stylish, well-constructed, and almost completely useless as a cutting instrument. I cannot even begin to fathom what this product's designers were thinking when they decided on the blade design. If you doubt how important an angled blade is try cutting something, anything, by pushing a knife blade through it without pulling it back and forth as you cut. There are a few things it cut acceptably well before the blade dulled by the 3rd or 4th use, but virtually everything came out as if cut by a rusty lawnmower. Prospective buyers would be better off buying the cheapest angled or V-bladed mandolin they can find than purchasing this product. I have used mandolins in commercial kitchens for over a decade and have never come across one as useless as this.
