4.0 out of 5 starsWorks well, but be sure to use all of the safety features

This is a wonderful product, but please be very careful with it. The blade is extremely sharp and you should utilize the gloves and guard anytime you need to cut things with it. I accidentally cut the edges of the plastic guard and it sliced through easily. If you're not cautious, you could easily cut your finger. It's great for cutting vegetables quickly and evenly and I love how easy it is to change the type of cut. The instructions are a bit lacking, so you may want to look up some videos on how to use it to cut different types of food. Additionally, the part that connects the blade to the rest of the mandolin will sometimes catch food on it as you're sliding it back and forth. The best way to get around this is to move the food quickly. The slower you try to slice something, the harder it will be. This makes the safety features even more important. Overall, this is a great product that lacks a bit in the way of instructions. It's has already made my life in the kitchen easier. I most recently made cucumber salad and loved how easy it was to cut perfect slices for the entire salad. My housemate cut sweet potatoes and unfortunately also cut his finger. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to be careful when using this tool in the kitchen.
