Benriner Japanese Mandolin Vegetable Slicer

I have three for my kitchen staff. Works great! Blades are durable, and stupid easy to sharpen if you know what you're doing. For the price, an immaculate tool

Very sharp blades.

This is so sharp and genuinely amazing. I ordered this after seeing the review on America's test kitchen. I've owned mandolins for many years, and this is by far the best one I have ever owned. Clean and ultra thin cuts, and the added blades for julienne worked perfectly. I don't know how it will do for longevity, but I was very impressed with my initial use of it. When I use a mandolin I use cut gloves rather than the included handguard. Update: I've been using this for 2.5 years and need a blade replacement. Blade replacement costs about the same as a new unit, so I'll get a new one now. I think I used this about once every two weeks for a large quantity of items.

Since I was introduced to the Benriner Mandolin in 2003, I have owned three of them. I was taking a class at the ICE in NYC from a professional chef. She told us that this inexpensive Mandolin was superior for vegetable slicing to any other on the market. She was RIGHT. It is easy to use, light weight, and has excellent sharp slicing. You throw it in the dishwasher and it cleans up like a charm.

Very simple design, but has a lot of nooks and crannies that can get filled up fairly easily - which would be fine if it were dishwasher safe, but it's not. It's handwash only. The thickness of the cuts maxes out at a very thin slice, like a thick potato chip. For celery, onions, and mushrooms, I ended up just using a knife anyway since I couldn't get thick enough slices. The blade is indeed wicked sharp, beware of its efficiency while approaching your fingers.

Best tool Ive ever had, use it every day.

My wife is a serious cook of asian foods. Lots of food prep. This is our second one, the last one having lasted 20 years. The first one was still functional but the screws were getting hard to turn, so we replaced it with a new one. Still the same build quality. If you use mandolins, you probably know how easy to use the Benriner product is. Worth every penny.

Great mandolin slicer, it’s small and compact. Can slice any produce without any problems, and comes with a guard when one getting closer to the end so you don’t cut your fingers. Recommend for anyone that only needs a smaller amount of produce sliced.

Très bon outils de cuisine, efficace, aux finitions irréprochables, qui facilitent donc la réalisation de plats originaux, et surtout permet de déguster en très fines tranches délicieuses des légumes crus (pleins de vitamines) comme le radis noir, le topinambour, la betterave rouge, etc. Les lames restent tranches après plusieurs années d'utilisations très régulières. Je recommande vivement

Hay un antes y un después cuando utilizas esta mandolina, es simplemente fabulosa. corta rodajas desde casi papel fino hasta hacer barritas con fruta o verdura. Aparte de la lamina cortadora principal acompañan el pack 3 mini serruchos más con distintos grosores de corte. Los cuales son muy fáciles de intercambiar. También muy fácil de limpiar y cómoda a la hora de guardar. Una mandolina súper sencilla pero muy eficaz.

1. The product is too narrow, which, makes its use limited. Apples can for example not be sliced, unless they are very small. 2. The text on the base makes the finger protection come to a stop during slicing. It could be solved with a sharp knife, but it shouldn't really be needed. A manufacturing fault. 3. The product lacks a base/stand. It need to be used with some kind of bowl, but the product is very slippery, and needs to be clamped down to the bowl unless you are born with an extra hand. In summery, a completely miss this is.

Mandolina di qualità quasi professionale, vale ogni centesimo. Consiglio assolutamente l’acquisto.

I zoned out and accidentally cut part of my thumb off. Very clean cut, didn't even leave blood on the blade. Also very suitable for many types of fruits and veg. Do realize this is a smaller size mandoline so some items do require precutting for best results.
