Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm a big fan of Chef'n products, so I was pretty excited when I saw this collapsible mandoline. I gave it as a holiday gift and we've used it a handful of times with varying levels of success. Works better with softer items - the harder the food is, the more you have to work to get the blade to cut it. For example, regular potatoes and beets (both semi-firm) work pretty well but sweet potatoes (fairly dense) are quite a struggle.
Pros: Dishwasher-safe is a HUGE plus, as I'm not going to mess around with a super sharp blade any more than I have to. Sleek and easy to store. Quality feel and attractive look. Blade is adjustable so you have some control over slice thickness. Collapsible finger guard is a nice idea so that you can get down to the very last bit of your food.
Cons: The finger guard doesn't really hold onto the food very well, the barbs that are supposed to help keep it intact aren't long/sharp enough to pierce the item. They're just plastic bumps so they don't actually grip the food in any way. As a result, you end up pressing down a lot harder than you think you should so that the food doesn't slip away. Pressing down extra hard on a mandoline is just asking for a gruesome injury.
All in all, it's not bad but I think I'll try a different brand the next time I'm in the market for a mandoline.
