Amazon.com Review
Unlike food processors, MIU's mandoline allows precise control over the texture and size of every cut, producing attractive, uniform vegetable and fruit slices. Constructed from durable, heavy-gauge, 18/10 stainless steel, this French-made tool creates attractive pommes Anna or paper-thin slices of cuke in record time thanks to five, versatile blade attachments. Three julienne blades cut in 3-, 5-, and 10-millimeter widths for French fries or slender carrot strips. The smooth blade creates straight, even slices of potatoes or radishes, while a serrated blade makes attractive crinkle or waffle cuts. Each attachment slides into a side opening, and locks into place for secure slicing and easy blade changes.

An enclosed safety holder grips and pushes food, protecting hands from sharp blades. It has an easy-grip, stainless steel knob. Rubber grips on the holder's base add to the tool's stability. This mandoline is dishwasher-safe, measures 14-2/5 inches long by 4-1/2 inches wide, and arrives with a plastic storage case for the blades. --Mary Park

works great December 23, 2008
I bought this slicer from a restaurant supply store and, like many other people, got dull blades with it. I wrote en email to the company and they sent me replacement blades (two) at no charge and no questions asked. Now it works like a charm. I love it. It is built right and slicing is a joy.

great product in some ways, but not all October 18, 2008
If you've used a plastic mandoline, you will appreciate the step up to this rugged steel model. It has sharp blades, and does an excellent job on most items.

I'm not sure why others thought that the blades were dull, but there are a few issues with the blades. The plastic holders for them are a bit too flexible. Cheaper mandolines often give just the blade portion, which can be much more awkward to change. This model could have had more metal and less plastic here, to give the best of both worlds. Since mandoline blades use a chopping motion, not a slicing motion, sharpness is not always enough.

It's a big item, and not something you can just pull out of a drawer when needed. It's not easy to clean, at least by hand, but it's dishwasher safe. It would have been nicer to have a storage case for the entire mandoline, not just the blades, and have storage for all the blades. I guess they expect that you will keep one blade in the unit and store the unused ones.

If you want an everyday item for your counter, this might be it. But if you want something for occasional use, this may not be for you. There are cheaper models that are more highly rated, which might serve you better in the short run. This one is built to last.

Disappointed September 24, 2008
I found the cutting blade to be too dull to be effective. I wrote the company to complain, but got no response. I think a good knife works a whole lot better than messing with the mandoline

I didn't heed the warnings... September 17, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Well, I ended up at the emergency room after slicing a good portion of my thumb off. I had only had this a few hours when I decided to check the different thickness settings using a potato. There's not much of an instruction book that comes with this item but I'd read the reviews and knew better than to use it WITHOUT the hand guard. Now I'm afraid to use it at all, at least without kevlar gloves.

Aside from this mishap, this seems to be a great mandoline and I'm living proof that the blade is very sharp. Maybe some of the problems lie with the skill of the user. It is very easy to set up and I don't have to physically change blades. When done, the whole thing pops in the dishwasher. If my family doesn't throw it out (they're still upset wth me for being stupid), I'm sure I'll want to try it again after I get these stitches out.

MIU does not stand behind their product. July 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I got this and was very impressed by the look and feel of it. I didn't get around to actually trying it out for a while, however. Like many others, I found when I did try to use it that the blades themselves were dull and of very poor quality. It tears the food instead of cutting it. Unfortunately it was past the 30 day return period and MIU has ignored my emails. I would not buy another of their products.
