SupMaKin Upgrade Safe Mandoline Slicer Plus, Potato Vegetable Slicer

FABULOUS! THIS is what I have been looking for in a mandolin slicer! Safety is indeed "first" with this design. You literally have to go OUT OF YOUR WAY to be put in ANY danger with this setup. Not saying you "can't" get hurt, but that you REALLY have to work at it and ignore ALL of the manufacturer's warnings for usage, in order to hurt yourself with it. Dials for all kinds of thicknesses, that are extremely intuitive. "One blade to rule them all" design, instead of having to switch between various attachments. Overall blade "size" easily fits a russet potato without having to "cut it down" to fit in the chute. Same with a peeled onion. Baby carrots fit long-ways in the chute bottom, which helps for julienne. Slice, julienne, dice... all in one. Just turn the knobs for which you want. Two knobs are specifically for the "julienne" blades, so you can either go wide julienne or narrow. I haven't tried it yet, but I bet you could even do a waffle/lattice type cut design, with how much versatility the knob adjustments give. Locks hold everything in place, so this doesn't just "accidentally go off" on its own. You literally have to push down to make any cuts. The blades are behind a protective flap in the top. It breaks apart very easily for cleaning, with a few simple spring buttons and a spring clamp for release, and the included cleaning tool is perfect for getting out food particles WITHOUT endangering your hands. Snap it all back together and put in the dishwasher for sanitizing. There is a snap-in cover for the blade section for storage, instead of having to keep the loading chute attached all the time. As for food prep, look out! Holy crud does this thing go thru produce like nobody's business! "Fast" doesn't even begin to define quickly it will go through 5lbs of potatoes! We were literally running out of space in the catch bin, in under a minute. I have tried from 0 to 10 on the thickness cuts, and just wow. Want chonk size? Go to the max width, and be prepared to go through a russet in under 10sec. Need rice paper thin? Go to the other dial extreme and use the potato slices as tracing paper. Shred an entire head of cabbage in under a minute. Slice an entire bag of onions in a matter of minutes. Julienne an entire bag of baby carrots without fear of shredding your fingers. Coleslaw base and potatoes and onions for scallop casserole, done in less time than it takes to warm the oven. Kid you NOT. (Yes, I actually timed it one evening!) Tomorrow we'll be using this critter to make some aehobak saeu bokkeum (korean stir-fry zucchini with shrimp), and I can't wait to see how fast it goes through the zucchini and squash prep (which normally takes me quite a bit of time - sometimes upwards of 30min - hand-slicing the julienne sticks, including seeding and cleaning, and cutting off the ends, then lining everything up, cutting into nearly equal lengths, etc). I already know it is going to breeze through the carrots and onions, LOL! This slicer has it all, for a ridiculously low price tag. If you are looking for an extremely versatile mandolin slicer that won't hog cabinet space, let alone break the bank, THIS is the one you want! (sorry, it's currently IN the dishwasher, so i can't grab a quick pic of it, at this time! i may have to grab some pics this weekend during the bokkeum prep, and update this review. we use it so often, it spends more time either in use or in the dishwasher, than in the cabinet! ROFL!!!!)

It took me some time before writing this review.I wanted to use it on multiple veggies. It works great , no danger of slicing your fingers in the process !!! Easy to clean, I did not put it in dishwasher yet... The only thing it does not do is fine grating or perhaps I have not figured out how to grate say potatoes or zucchini for fritters? Would be great if it did that.

I'll make this short and sweet. It works as described. No, better than described. If you are scared to death of your mandoline as I was, look no more, you found the one you need. I really do not believe a safer mandoline can be produced, especially one that works as well as this one. Easy to unbox and use and I LOVE the extra larger feed. You will too. Also easy to clean. EDIT: If you use setting #8 to make a thick cut on potatoes before slicing to make fries be SURE to use the food pusher. I damn near cut off the tip of my finger yesterday. Hurts really bad, blood everywhere for a about 30 minutes too. Not sure if my finger nail will grow back or not but I THINK it's gonna be okay. The reason I bought this is because I was terrified of my regular mandoline and thought this one would be very very safe. I can attest that on the #8 setting for slicing BE VERY VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL. I will not be using mine again and will give it away explaining why.

I've only used it a couple of times but love it. Easy to use once you figure out the instructions. Slices tomatoes perfectly and everything else I've tried. Easy to clean. Can't say anything bad about it. Buy it!

My first mandolin came in with the food/safety guard broken and a missing cleaning brush. Amazon’s customer service portal is a bit of a hassle to get to when trying to resolve things like that. That said this is the best mandolin I’ve owned! The versatility in what it can do is phenomenal. I was extremely impressed by how thin it will actually cut. My old mandolin had these interchangeable blades that just never got thin enough but with this I was able to get nearly paper thin potato slices that I made home made potato chips with! They were the same thickness as lays and we all know how thin, light and crisp those are! I told my husband I’m never buying bagged chips again and meant it! 1 potato ends up being nearly half a bag of chips! It’s also fun to use! When you don’t have the fear of taking your knuckles off it’s amazing what you’ll be trying to slice and dice in the kitchen! As of right now it’s my favorite tool in the kitchen! I’d say practice with some potatoes since they are sturdy and cheap. It does have a lot of settings and 3 dials that have a bit of a learning curve but that’s kind of the fun of it.
