I ordered the V-Pro 5 Blade Mandoline Slicer and it arrived very quickly. But I was quite upset because this order was mailed in its original box. I don't think that box is supposed to use as a mailing box. The cardboard is so thin. When it arrived, the box was almost beaten up. When I just got the box, I almost wanted to send it back right away. But when I took the product out of the beaten box, the product looked okay. So I thought I would like to try it anyway. And I did. The mandoline worked very well, the material was very smooth and sturdy. I used it to cut some nice apple chips. I do appreciate how easy it is to operate and clean the mandoline. Thank you for the wonderful product which survived the irresponsible mailing process and gave me a happy surprise in the end.
