 Pretty good mandolineDec 16, 2009
All the above, (or below) this machine can take the tip of any finger. (personal experience.)! Cuts really well. The trick is to be willing to throw 1/5 of the vegetable away. The pusher is worthless, you must hold the vegetable with your hand. Being too frugal = lost fingertip. The trick to the thing is a high starting velocity. Move the potato or carrot quickly, and the cut is perfect. Too slow and it binds.

 Don't waste your moneyOct 25, 2008
My first mandoline was a V Slicer, which I was very happy with. I bought the Matfer because I liked the stand, which was my only complaint with the V Slicer. I found the blade to be extremely dull from the start. It tears apart everything from tomatoes to onions. You can get the V Slicer for about $30.00 so don't waste your money on the Matfer!

 fabulousJul 23, 2007
i would not say that this is an everyday use machine however for parties or other occassions where you need quantity it is perfect. the set up time does take a few minutes. the blades are RAZOR sharp so i suggest you move slowly & deliberately when installing & removing for cleaning. this is a good slicer despite its plastic casing.

 Not Terrible - Not GreatFeb 01, 2006
Once you get the knack of using this mandoline, it does work very well. One big tip, get a pair of kevlar knit gloves with rubber palms and fingers, and toss the pusher. That thing is worse than useless - it's downright dangerous. Using kevlar gloves lets you get down to the very end of your vegetables without damaging your hands or wrists - this is the stuff in bullet-proof vests - you'll dull the blade before you'll cut the gloves. I learned this trick from the "Good Eats" man, Alton Brown.
Anyway - as other reviewers have pointed out, the waffle blade is useless for hard foods, such as carrots. I've also had problems with the dicing blades when I've set the slicing gauge to more than an eighth of an inch - particularly with onions.
Don't try hard cheese with this - it just sticks to the slide plate and the slicing blade.
Other than that - it does potatos, apples, cucumber, celery, carrots, 'shrooms, eggplant, zucchini just beautifully.
Over time, the blade will need sharpening - don't use your steel on it - take it to a professional sharpener. The edge of the slicing blade needs to be at a certain angle. Your best bet is to take the whole thing to the sharpener and bring a carrot and a cuke with you to test it (don't forget your gloves!).

Should be called the finger shredderApr 12, 2004
Be very very careful when using this thing -- I was and still ended up with 8 stitches holding one of my knuckles on. The pusher (which I was using at the time) can move around on you so watch out!! My mandoline went in the garbage promptly and I'm back to using a food processor.Besides, I never could get the julienne blades to work properly as they did not fit correctly into the slicer. Bad design plus bad workmanship.
