Summary: Simple, Easy, Sharp!
Comment: I've hand this slicer for 10-11 years now and still LOVE it! The design is simple yet so versatile and easy to clean. One main blade is secured onto the product (the one at a diagonal) by two screws. It can be removed to be sharpened (as all blades get dull over time). There are then 3 other blades with protruding teeths of varying gap widths that are secured through the two side screws. This allows for the shreds of vegetables. The thickness is controlled by a metal screw under the plastic plate. Together, you can make many cuts with various thicknesses. One drawback is that the gap is slightly thicker on one side than the other on mine (It's really slight though). Cleanup is a breeze. I've always hand washed it because it's so easy. I just push the plastic plate up (so not to get cut by the diagonal blade), wash that, and then wash the bottom plate and blades. Storage is great as it's so slim and easy to store (I still store it in the original box). Of course, as other customers mentioned the hand guard is not that great. I've actually have shaved off some skin and nail in the past, so this product is meant for those who are accustomed with sharp blades. In the 10+ years I've had it, i've never sharpened the blade and it's still sharp. I haven't had much luck with shredding soft stuff. Tried to shred a ripe mango yesterday and it mushed it. Also tried to slice coldcuts, did't work well either. It's really great with more firm stuff (carrots, applies, daikon, radishes, cabbage). Finally, I must say that after using a really cheap chinese made one at a friend's place, I like the quality/price of this item very much. This product has no sharp edges (other than the blades of course) or unwanted plastic remnants from the manufacturer. I guess the reason I gave it a 4 star is because it can't cut softer products as well and because the gap is not perfect across the blade.

Summary: Amazing for the price
Comment: I have owned mine for over a year and it is a favorite. I also received one of those expensive french mandolines as a gift, and this is better. Sharp, fast, easy to clean. The downsides are that the tines on the smallest matchstick blade can be bent if you aren't careful, and the thickness adjustment is by sight, not on a fancy scale. And yes, it is not wide enough to make giant onion rings. If you can live with these minor issues, buy one. A great first mandoline if you've never had one, and good enough for a pro as long as long you are not preparing commercial quantities of food with it.

Summary: Very Sharp and great for the price
Comment: This is a great mandolin for small jobs. It is extremely sharp, cleans easily and can be taken apart easily to clean thoroughly or sharpen the blade. This is a great mandolin for most home cooks, it's not heavy duty but it gets the job done. It's also very compact so it stores easily.
The cutting surface is a little small so it won't slice large greens like cabbage but it does a great job on carrots, cucumbers and most potatoes (potatoes sometimes have to be trimmed slightly)

Summary: Perfect mandoline
Comment: This is a great product and it arrived on time and in excellent condition. I previously owned one and gave it to my daughter. Bought a much more expensive product and tossed it out. Nice to have the real thing again.

Summary: Waste is the key to this beauty.
Comment: I have had the Benringer for over 5 years now, and like it so much that I bought it for my best friend. My advice to him: "the key to staying intact with this gadget is waste - waste and cut thyself not - vegetables are cheap". I wash and dry the gadget (and detachable blades) while the food is cooking, along with my Sabatier Au Carbon. I don't think I have ever detected rust. In any case, you can get replacement blades.

Plastic shredder and slicer with an adjustable table for paper thin slices!
Each mandoline comes with 3 sizes of knife quality interchangeable shredding blades and handy finger guard. The razor sharp slicing blade is ajustable to make paper thin slices or matchstick shreds. Easy to follow instructions included.
12 1/4 by 3 1/2 inches. (Easily comparable to the $200 French Mandoline except does not do waffle cut)
You may receive green or ivory colored base depending on current stock.
