Mine slices things like beets and carrots super-thin, a sixteenth of an inch or so. I use the slices to make chips in the oven, and the thinnest setting is actually too thin for me. I have to go up one or two settings from the thinnest.
Always take it out from the bottom. Safest. Easiest. Grab the mandolin with both hands. The top side should be facing you, and your thumbs will be on that top side with your fingers hidden underneath, clasping the unit.

Always take it out from the bottom. Safest. Easiest. Grab the mandolin with both hands. The top side should be facing you, and your thumbs will be on that top side with your fingers hidden underneath, clasping the unit. One hand should be where the hinges are...and the other on the opposite side (the side typically touching the countertop when open and ready for use). Now, just hold the mandolin with your thumb on top, (far from the blade) and apply simple consistent force with your fingers from underneath. Sometimes, one side dislodges first. If this happens, just apply equal pressure to the opposite side. Now the blade is free. Rotate it up from the two plastic tabs which serve as hinges. They are located on the blade side. Now, gently tug or pull when the insert (with the blade), and the main body form an angle greater than 45 degrees. At this point the insert/ blade should be completely free. Respect the blade. It is sharp. Treat it the same way that you would any sharp knife.

I use the Vidalia Chop Wizard to make cubes (either 1cm or half that, tiny little things). You simply slice the vegetable across in the thickness you want and then pass it through the chop wizard to create cubes. Here's the link, but look at alternatives, as there are many different models with additional features. htt…

This is a good question. I have the gloves and I wear them whenever I use a knife or a blade. I haven't used them yet when using the Mueller Mandoline as I am careful not to get my fingers near the blade. But now that you mention it, I can see where wearing the gloves would be safer. Hope this helps.
Yes it can, there is a coarse shredder and a grater blade. Then on the unit there are 2 knobs one for setting the slicing thickness and one that you raise when you shred or grate. Always use the food guard those blades are VERY sharp.
I have not cut sweet potatoes with it, so I can't say for sure. But it is really SHARP so it seems like it could cut sweet potatoes with no problems. I also reviews that said it easily cut potatoes and sweet potatoes easily. I hope this helps. Good luck!
My research indicates that it was designed in Austria by German engineers. This is what I like about it. This slicer is strong and looks good. Time will tell, but it works well and feels like it will last. Although the product does say Made in PRC {China} for Mueller.
It's a matter of balance. Don't press the food too far down on the pusher prongs. Just barely press the prongs into the food so that you can slice as much of the item to be sliced as possible.
It can slice anywhere from 1-9 mm in 1 mm increments. Since there are 25.4 mm in an inch it can slice at max slightly more than 1/3 inch thick (9mm) or @.35 inches. 3/8 = Roughly that so, i would say yes, at max, it’s about 3/8 thick. If it needs to be precisely 3/8 then it’ll be off by a few thousandths
Hello, The Mueller V-Pro will slice anywhere from 1/16" to 3/16" depending on the pressure applied and firmness of the item you are slicing. If you push down harder on the vegetable or fruit, it will come out thicker and with less force applied you can easily achieve thinner wafer like pieces.
