This review is for the OXO good grips mandolin slicer. Most of my comments are contained in the accompanying video review, however I have briefly summarised them below.
THINGS THAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS MANDOLIN SLICER:
* The safety guide - this was one of the key things that made me decide to purchase this model
* The large chunky handle on the guide - as I am getting older my hands are not as able to grip things as they used to be. I find that this handle is comfortable to hold even when exerting pressure onto the item that you are slicing
* The safety blade position - this means that I can store my mandolin in my tools drawer and not worry about cutting my fingers
* The three different cutting positions. These are great as I am able to slice things almost paper thin on the lowest setting up to a decent sized slice for potato dauphinoise.
* The blade is extremely sharp which results in a very neat, clean cut
* There is hardly any wastage left after slicing
* It is easy to clean, just swill it in hot soapy water
THINGS THAT I WASN'T SO KEEN ON:
* Due to the height of the item you are slicing the guide can't be slotted onto the mandolin at the outset. It only gets close to the edges of the mandolin after you have almost completed your slicing. Because of this I have found that I can end up slicing in all directions as my hand and the guide move around.
* The spiky grips in the handle don't 'spear' the item you are holding as well as they could and it can come loose whilst being sliced.
MY OVERALL CONCLUSION:
This has been a great addition to my collection of kitchen gadgets. The blade is sharp enough to produce excellent and consistently good results. I find it comfortable to use and I particularly like the safety hand guide. I would happily recommend this to anyone who is looking to purchase a mandolin for home use.

I have owned several mandolin slicers and rate this OXO model the best I have owned. It is well made and easy to hold while slicing. The only issue I have with it is that the maximum thickness setting is still not as thick as I would like. This is common with the other mandolins and food processors I have owned. I would really like one that cuts 3 or 4 times thicker.
In use it fits nicely on top of a bowl with the slots in the base gripping onto the bowl sides. I don't use the holder until the vegetable is down to about 3cm then I put the holder on for the last few slices. The holder grips onto the vegetable without any issue and I have not had it slip yet.
All in all I am very pleased with this and would recommend it.

This is a great kitchen tool, I've been slicing up a storm since it arrived. Very easy to clean and very sharp. Well worth it.

A kitchen tool which works
I have bought all sorts of things at shows for slicing vegetables, and once they're home they don't seem to work as they did at the show. Read more

Bought this for ease of use, nothing fancy about, but simple to use and clean, good for making your own crisps and salad dressing, extra guard is handy for NOT slicing fingers

Fantastic foodie tool
This is great for very thin slices of veg, particularly potato, carrot, onion and peppers. Not so good for tomatoes, unless they are very firm, best to not cut across the core... Read more

The handle is a problem
The handle to put whatever it is you want to cut isn't very good. It doesn't really hold onto it very well but cutting onions is great! Really prevents the eyes from stinging. Read more

Does the job
This ia a good product. I've made many potato chips with this. My criticism would be that it doesn't cut things very evenly and I feel I have to press down quite hard. Read more
