For dicing, don’t cut to make vertical strips. Cut horizontally ( like you would do for scalloped potatoes). Then put those horizontally cut pieces into the pusher to cut for dicing.

Bought this because of your review and I love it! I eat a lot of sweet potatoes and tend to be clumsy with knives. I cut myself often. I was getting scared with cutting so many potatoes all the time so I decided to invest in this. It gets the job done so quickly, everything is evenly sliced, no mess, no fear of chopping my hand off.. it's a wonder product! I've had compliments that the carrots in my home made soups look professionally cut because they're all so thin and uniform slices. I must use this 2-3 times a week minimum and just absolutely love it! I'll never go back to just cutting with a knife again.

Yes and no. I have one and it is a little dicey on the multiples (pun intended). The issue is that potatoes are wet and starchy, so they tend to slide. So, as long as your potato fills in the height, it works, but for bigger potatoes that need to be cut to be inserted, they tend to slide over and bind in the feeder.

I just bought one and that’s what I do with potatoes and cucumbers 🥒 instead of the pusher.

Just bought this a month ago & LOVE it!!! Where has this tool been all my life!!! I give it 10 stars out of 5. It's just as easy to clean as it is to use.

This is the best video on how to use this type of mandoline that I have seen so far. I've had this style a few months, had not seen how to dice, had to guess at it. I don't think my manual explained explained about the 2nd set of blades. Glad I saw this! I have thought if putting a sheet pan under it, I can slice so fast that the food flies!

Seriously loving the bloopers at the end of the newest episodes. Always makes for an awesome laugh!

You simply run it under hot water pressing the blade up and down to loosen any veg that might be caught in the blade and then submerge in hot soapy water. You can easily see if there is any fragment of food trapped in rhe blades and it is supplied with a small brush to dislodge anything that might get stuck but i have never had to use it. It is stable in use, i have used mine frequently , if you push anything beyond its limits then it can topple. It sits very squarely on the counter with good balance and great little suction feet to hold it in place. My main uses are for slicing potatoes and julienning veg and it does a great job of both.

Same, "team boerner" here. I think that more complex AND plastic elements is not a good idea. How much weight can that stand handle? How many pushes can that chopping spring last? I'd love to see the direct comparison between the two, though. Just how easier\harder is it to make those fries on a classic mandoline? What pros and cons are?

I just got one of these and although it’s pricey I do like it. The manual wasn’t the best so I came here searching for a demonstration. I learned some new things from you. I didn’t know how the little buttons on the back worked. Than you very much. I love to make sliced cucumber salad with oil and vinegar and onions salt and pepper. I also make a lot of potato dishes. This machine worked very well. I use the bigger vegetables as the pusher itself which makes the process go fast. It’s a little pricey but I do like it and I don’t regret my purchase. Looking forward to trying new settings and cuttings.

I didn't know that you had reviewed this product. I purchased one a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. It's great for older people who have problems gripping things and my 6-year-old grandson LOVES using this slicer/chopper. I don't have to worry about him getting cut so I LOVE having him help me. Win-Win!

Surprised you didnt show the cleaning part. Its definitely faster than a knife, but a knife is a 2 second clean. This could get stuff stuck in it. Or compare it to a traditional mandolin grater/slicer which is open (dangerous) but easy to clean.

It's really easy. Just put a bar of soap in and slice it down with water.

I’ve had a straight blade mandolin with a single blade and replaceable guides for thickness or fries. Similar, but my favorite, was the V Slicer that has two short blades in a v shape, with the same kind of replaceable guides. With both, I was always terrified of slicing my fingers, even using the hand guard. I really like this design because of the designed in safety. That’s a big plus. I like not having to have a bulky tray to hold all the different guides, but this does still has all the pieces that cause storage bulk, so that’s a net neutral. The negative is the design doesn’t allow one to make normal longer fries, but that’s a small issue. A bigger negative is that I wonder how well the various plastic dials will hold up before breaking and making the thing at best a one trick slicer. I think I’d wait to purchase it to see the longevity.

Just a tip: I _hate_ those plastic guards on mandolins because they always seem to slip and fall off. It makes me scared that I'll get complacent and I'll have a slip that will result in a nasty accident. So I bought some cut-proof gloves online. They are made of a nylon weave which has something, maybe steel fiber, as a reinforcement through it. You *will* bruise your hands if you have an accident with a slicer or a knife while wearing one but you won't cut yourself (unless you're using a powdered device). The gloves are easy enough to wash after use - I just hand-wash them in soapy dishwater and leave them out to dry. I figure that as clumsy as I am, it would be foolish for me to not spend a few dollars to save a lot of potential suffering. The amount of times that I've knocked a nice little red smile into a knuckle just using a box grater is proof enough that I needed to get some of these gloves...

Seems like a pretty good product and a good gift for someone who loves to cook. Great review as always, but I was hoping you'd touch on the cleaning process 👍🏼

Kitchen mandolin slicers are the #1 kitchen injury cause for ER visits! This one looks quite a bit safer when used with the guard and pusher. It also looks fairly easy to use for people with weak hands or other disabilities. A very nice item!

I have a Boerner V-Slicer that I've used for the past 35 years -- and I still use it at least once a week! Fabulous product, but more basic than what you're showing here... Only 2 thicknesses of slices, 2 sizes of julienne (fries, matchsticks). The only problem is that it's extremely sharp (like most mandolins), thus it's very easy to cut yourself! I like the safety aspects of this new-style slicer, so I may get one to try out! (I'll keep my V-slicer for long french fries, but use the new one for everything else!)

Thorough review as usual and I love your outtakes, hilarious🤣, thanks James!

For everyone asking about cleaning...I give mine a quick rinse under the tap, and use the supplied brush to get any stubborn hitchhikers. When it's time to do the dishes after dinner, it gets processed through the soapy water very easily. I use mine two or three times a week . It doesn't make the prettiest of slices, to be honest, but making a big family dinner every night ? I don't care if it's not Insta worthy, I want fresh food prepped easily and fast. This giraffe looking thing does the job, very well.

How long will the blades be sharp? What should a person do when they become dull?

I have a mandolin and this unit he's reviewing. I haven't used the mandolin in over a year. This makes salads way easy and quick! I use it for processing tons of garden veggies for freezing, canning, and freeze drying. Fairly easy to clean and comes with a little brush/poking device if things get too stuck to spray out. I've never been concerned about my knuckles or fingers and the suction cups are very strong. My only complaint would be the tray that catches your veggies. I leave it off and cut straight onto a flexible cutting mat.

That looks really amazing! I wonder what the clean up is like? Did you find that easy James? Thanks for the review, this looks like a must have product for my kitchen!

That chopping speed was pretty impressive and I loved that little wedge you hold to get all the way to the end of the potato. Great review as always, this is a top ten channel for me!

It's great that this video comes out hours after my ONCE FOR ALL Mandoline gets delivered, lol. I saw it on KZread in a TikTok compilation video of gadgets and got a few of the items with this being one of them. Seeing it in action with multiple levels tested was very helpful, especially the dicing function since I have some starchy veggies I plan to cube for a stew. Maybe now I won't have to buy frozen sliced and cubed veggies again for a while, if ever! I absolutely agree that the price for this is a bit high, especially since I (a) will be hand cleaning and washing this device and (b) don't know if it comes with a warranty or not. Had it been maybe $10-$15 less, this would've been a fantastic steal, but I have until the end of January to see how well things go. Thanks for the video! I do have a suggestion for a video: Testing and comparing a Brandless Pro-Blender against a Vitamix to see if it's actually as good as a Vitamix while being significantly cheaper.

I bought this a couple weeks ago and really like it. Only thing that bugs me is not being able to dunk it in soapy water. The thing I didn't see you do, is slice one end of all your veg on an angle to roughly match the angle of the food chute before you start. That's what the mfr video says to do. I've used it a lot. I do refrigerator pickles, and I use 3 for the slices. I do the onion slices a bit less. I cut them in half moons. Used it to make little short fries for the air fryer, and a dice for carrots. I find that the carrots are harder for me to push down, but that's just me. I always keep a container of carrot coins and sliced cucumbers in the fridge for snacking. For that, I use a 6 for cucumbers and ~4 for carrots. I've seen someone slice a bell pepper, but can't for the life of me to figure that out. Once it's hollowed out, I'm like???? I like your video a lot. I really appreciate someone using it in the real world.

I have one of these and reviewed it a long time ago on my cooking channel and I love the thing. It still works after 2 years, now the dice is my only complaint since its just not a nice dice.

Thank you for explaining the two little knobs in the back. Dicing was a nightmare for me.❤

A bit ago I skimmed thru the QVC video on the Geoffrey Zakarian branded model, while I don't typically trust their on air videos. I did order one because I got it for 5 monthly whooping payments of $6 lol. Didn't even think to check and of course you made a video of it. Thanks for this, I don't trust them but you're always solid. And unlike the QVC hosts, you open something and when you make the video it's your 1st time using it. I know those QVC weasels pratice their asses off before they go on air. , hopefully it'll slice sticks of pepperoni for when I make pizza. I'm surprised it's only $29 (right now) And it's nice to see a top level celebrity chef attaching their name to a product that isn't utter crap just to make some quick $$$. For anyone who reads this that's broke like me, for the rest of this week QVC's doing 5 payments on everything. So you can get one of these for $7 shipped and spend almost half a year paying it off lol.

I love my Pampered Chef mandolin, I wish it had a bunch of thickness selections like this does.

This thing is great! I have cut myself badly on mandolines several times. I can’t (hopefully) do that now. It also is very easy to use. I slice lots of cucumbers for water. This is a game changer.

It performed impressively in the video. :). I'm newly visually impaired and always excited to find safe, versatile tools that can aid me to be more independent in the kitchen. I've built back my rudimentary knife skills but it's nice to have options. If this will consistently chop onions and slice potatoes while being easy to clean, sounds like a winner to me.

Interesting, did it seem stable on the counter? Did it tend to slide around or tip over?

If I ever had a need to slice up some stuff, this looks like it would work pretty good.

Dang I can already see this being a top ten product next year!

I have one I bought in France (I'm a UK viewer) and my amazing French wife uses it all the time. It's fast and easy to use and clean. Running it under a high pressure hot tap works but we usually pop it in the dishwasher. If you cut fruit though, the fruit needs to be quite firm and for tomatoes we use a sharp Damascus steel knife.

I wish you would have demonstrated how well it chops onions into bits. This is one of the most common items I use a mandolin for because of the eye irritation you can get from doing it with a knife.

Excellent review, thanks. I have this unit and you did a better overview than what was presented on QVC. Subscribed!

Plunger handle kinda reminds me of the golf ball cleaner at the golf course...I need one that will thin slice tomatoes for burgers ect.

I inherited one of these from my son, and didn't know how to use it. Thank you so much. Now, every time I use it, I will think of my son. 😊

It looks like a great timesaver over the classic V slicer. I think you could’ve put a lot more in the shute, two or maybe even three of those small potatoes at a time. The only downside is, if you wanted longer fries from a larger/longer potato. That’s where the V slicer would win. And I really want to see how it cleans up.

I love the Bold and Brash painting in the background. 😂

Thank you for the demo 👍

This just seems like a souped-up mandolin slicer. You still have to use a continuous effort from your arm to use the slicer. On top of that it, it doesn't look that much fun to clean. As the grooves look extremely finicky to actually clean and the blades don't seem to come apart from the plastic housing, so mold and rust could probably be a factor of this. I searched for nearly a year for an item that would help save my hand and shoulder while prepping food (arthritis and fibromyalgia). I ended up with this item: BLACK+DECKER Multi-Prep Slice 'N Dice Food Processor Bundle, and I'm really happy with it. It was $90, but it's pretty intuitive to clean and I've had minimal issues so far. There is a small area between the blade and the top that small shreds can get stuck and some of the wet veggies can get stuck in the shooter going into the bowl, but that's minimal for issues. I overall really like it and it saves my hands. That would be a awesome video for you to do! The Black & Decker vs this slicer vs a mandolin vs a knife..

This is a semi vertical Mandolin slicer with a feed chute. Why I prefer the regular Mandolin slicer: 1) Price. 2) You can slice potatoes lengthwise and get longer French fries instead of what I consider to be French fry remnants. 3) I prefer my scalloped potatoes to be consistently round, not oval shaped. When smaller items are in the feed chute, they can rotate preventing you from controlling the shape of the slice. Mine may not be quite as fast, but I have more control over the finished product.

Bought my first mandolin back in the mid-70s. Been using them since. Yes, I've nicked my finger tips more than a few times. In the mid-80s we attended a small Baptist church in Little Rock. Went to our first pot luck dinner with them, and I made a big bowl of cucumber and onion salad using the mandolin. The folk were astounded about how perfect and uniform everything was sliced. I guess the utensil had not made it that far yet. 😇😇😇😇

I thought for sure I had to have a slicer, so I bought one, I used for the first week and it's been in my top cabinet, ever since, lol! Just like the French try cutter

Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎅

Bought this. Worked great over the holidays.

I think you are having waaaaay too much fun with that thing.

I'm disappointed you didn't try slicing and/or dicing an onion with this :(

I was thinking the same thing! I hate cutting onions, and would buy one just to make that easier.

Bloopers are funny. Keep them in the videos please!

I have had one for a couple of years - it has been branded by many companies- like Dash and Geoffrey Zakarian - and the price has fluctuated with the name. Bought mine for under $30 and love it when I have a lot to cut. It is also safe for young people, which is a great feature in many homes.

This looks and works exactly like my Dash mandoline slicer. I absolutely love it.
