 No Pusher/Handle/GuardJul 27, 2010
I was extremely excited to order and receive the Matfer Mandoline and get started cooking and putting up this summers bountiful harvest. I was just as disappointed to learn that this model does not come with the Pusher/Handle/Guard as seen in the picture nor does the posting verbally tell you that the Pusher/Handle/Guard is not included.
On the Matfer website they sell the same Mandoline with or without the Pusher/Handle/Guard and also note that in the text of the Product, It would be great if Amazon did the same.
I couldn't find the Pusher/Handle/Guard on the Amazon website so I had to buy it from a competitor.
Non-the less, I'm very happy with the product.
 Do not buy this item from Amazon!!Jul 02, 2010
Do not buy this item from Amazon.
They seem to think that the safety guide should not be included in the sale of this item. I ordered it, did not receive what the Amazon review calls the "pusher". I complained and they sent a second shipment. No pusher was shipped again.
This is a very dangerous utinsel to use without the FACTORY SUPPLIED safety guide. But obviously Amazon feels it is not necessary.
After the second shipment, I told Amazon that I would buy the safety guide locally. I was under the assumption that it could be purchased separately at a commercial outfit locally for $25+/-. Amazon was nice enough to refund me the $25 cost. I thank them for that.
Since then, I have not been able to find it locally and will probably have to look on the net for the item.
This mandoline slices like a dream, but don't buy it at the $114 price on Amazon. Go to the off-site sellers. They guarantee that the safety guide is included, but list it around $150. And their shipping people probably know that this is a two piece shipment.
 Item not as advertised or as shown in picture.May 17, 2010
I bought this mandoline for my wife for mothers day as an upgrade to an older one she had. I read all the reviews for all of them that met the standard I was trying to meet and chose this one on a few accounts. Stainless steel beats plastic and everyone said the blades stay sharp. This item would have rated a cool 5 stars except for one thing. The photo and the Amazon review indicate that this potentially dangerous instrument comes as a complete unit with the pusher to hold the food and keep your fingers from becoming part of your meal. Common sense and rationality would have you believe that this tool would come with that part as a matter of reason. IT DOES NOT! It comes sealed in plastic WITHOUT the one part that makes it safe to use. Not to mention that the Amazon review mentions the pusher several times touting its ease of operation and how it works and the mandoline is shown with the pusher as part of the package. I personally could not see a tool like this not coming complete with a pusher nor have I ever bought a mandoline in the past that did not, until now. After recieving my first order from Amazon and realizing a crucial part was missing, I immediately called in and had them send another one. We discussed the missing part and it was noted. They even added next day shipping for free to get it here on time for mothers day. Of course, the new one was identical to the first. After opening one and reading the instruction booklet did I realize that the pusher is actually an optional order item and is not included with the the mandoline. For $100 you would think it would be included, at least as a safety concern for the unaware user. If you read the reviews, most of them mention getting cut using it for the first time but only one other mentions the pusher not being present with the slicer. So, buyer beware, even though it shows the pusher in the picture and it is spoken of in the Amazon review as if it is included, it is NOT and you should avoid this slicer unless you dont mind paying that kind of money for only the main part and then go out and try to find the rest of it or use gloves or just be careful using it without all the necessary components. For all that, I give it a 3 star rating. I haven't used it much since I bought it because I haven't ordered the pusher. I'm trying to find an individual one that might work better. A few reviews have said that the pusher which belongs with this slicer isn't very good. It does seem to slice quite well and cleanup is easy. Use a fork or something to push remaining food through the slicer part to avoid bloodshed. In short, just be extremely careful and don't let your teenaged kids use it without a complete safety briefing and training on how to use it.
Caution! Not finger friendly...Feb 05, 2010
Upon initial inspection I managed to draw blood, worse, it was mine. This is not for every day use, it is great for bigger jobs. It requires time and caution to clean up as one may expect. Be sure the job is big enough to justify the clean up time.

 No safety holder!!Jan 08, 2010
My husband gave me this mandoline for Christmas, I was very excited, until I opened it and realized it didn't have the safety holder for holding whatever you are cutting (the one all the other reviews warn you not to skip using.) I sent it back and ordered a replacement - and got another one with no safety holder! I am really disappointed.
