4.0 out of 5 stars Works great, wishing for different blades!, January 9, 2009

I bought this slicer specifically because all the other that are similar in function only dice or make sticks. I wanted one that would do slices, because mandolines are a pain and often dangerous. This one works great, but the blades are at least 1/4" apart, which is actually pretty thick. You won't be making chips with this one! I wish there were other styles of blade offered.

1.0 out of 5 stars worst product I've purchased, January 8, 2009

On the surface, this looks like the wonder product. It slices! It dices! It's from Starfrit! Well, looks are deceiving. The insert for the blade does not fit securely enough into the container. Each time you press down and slice something, the whole insert pulls out with the pusher and lid. Each time I had to pry the blade and insert out of the lid and pusher, reinsert it, place the vegetable, push down to slice/dice, then repeat. I finally gave up and switched back to my Nicer Dicer. It may not slice as well, but it works perfectly every time! I would not recommend this Starfrit for purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lemonade, January 16, 2010

Tried to slice lemons like in the picture, but got lemonade. Wouldn't cut it at all. Followed the directions by cutting off the ends so the lemon would fit and sinking it into the blades to get it started. But all it did was squish it. Sliced some cheese and it worked ok. Seemed like a lot of strength needed for a soft food.
