Good Grips V-Blade Mandoline Slicer, White

This product felt as if it’s a fake. There were no papers on the box, as if it’s a knock off! The plastic is so unstabke, the wheel to change thickness is not accurate. Don’t buy!

Works like a Mandalin slicer easy to use but still scares the hell out of me to use

Uso questa mandolina OXO già da diverso tempo ed esprimo un'opinione estremamente positiva. E' facile da utilizzare, ha diverse lame che consentono di tagliare non solo a fette ma anche a julienne e con 4 diversi spessori. Inoltre, grazie alla grande affilatura delle lame il taglio è molto facile e non serve usare molta forza, anche nel caso di verdure meno morbide come le patate o il cavolo verza. Ciò che mi ha convito ad acquistarla al posto di un'altra mandolina con altrettante opinioni positive su Amazon è il fatto che questa ha anche le gambe che consentono di non doverla tenere sollevata mentre si taglia anche perchè nel caso di verdure più dure sarà necessario esercitare maggiore pressione. Le lame sono estremamente affilate, consiglio quindi vivamente di utilizzarla con dei guanti resistenti al taglio, se ne trovano a pochi euro anche qui su Amazon. Vi è infatti in dotazione un attrezzo per tenere le verdure ma per affettare l'intero pezzo è preferibile utilizzare i guanti i quali aiutano anche a lavare più facilmente la mandolina senza rischi di tagli. Il cambio delle lame non è facilissimo ma con il libretto di istruzioni alla fine si capisce il meccanismo (anche in questo caso i guanti sono fondamentali per non tagliarsi, vista l'affilatura).

p.s. WATCH VivianRogers6623 YouTube channel on how to put together the “OXO V Mandoline Slicer” - she makes it clear. EDIT: Great slicer -5 stars for that. Deserves 1?0 stars The instruction manual deserves 1 star. Preferably 0 stats. I bought the .4 blade slicer. The pictures are not of that model. Looking for the same square hole in your slicer’s frame? Doesn’t exist. Very frustrating to figure out how to reassemble the (d*mn’) thing after it falls in the floor. Or how to put it back tigether after washing because tgere is a super sharp blade involved! One part is said by the manual to slide in vertically. But it only fits if slid in horizontally. You get the picture . I am a little nervous about attempting to change blades until I have mastered assembling it. Disassembly, however, is a piece of cake! This is the best mandolin slicer I’ve ever had. And I’m coming to realise that it is absolutely the best one for the job when it comes to slicing food to be dehydrated. The sharpness of a mandolin slicers blades is pretty critical. These are as sharp as they get! The slicer comes fully assembled in its box. The instruction booklet wasn’t so great. It was pretty disappointed with it when I had to figure out how to put the parts back together when deci her fell on the floor unexpectedly and its removable parts flew off. If I have good pictures, I can put things together in a snap. These graphics are printed clearly, but they are not instructive enough when the text is so brief. However, if when sits down, it looks at things for a while you “get it.” •••Warning••• Yeah, the instructions say that the blades are very sharp. They say not to touch them. OK. I worked with sharp leather knives for years, Jerry rarely ever cutting myself. I never badly. As the instruction booklet does not tell you how to clean the blade other than that it’s dishwasher safe, and I did not intend to put it in dishwasher, I was very carefully running a dish cloth with soapy water over it. Bad idea! I will not touch that blade again. I’ve got a very large bandage on the end of my finger and the finger is very insulted. Loads of blood. I put red pepper on it which stings. Either red or black pepper is a pretty good coagulant. The moral of the story is that I discovered from the instructions how to remove the blade in its plastic frame. The essential thing to know is how to remove the frame with its blade, and to only touch the plastic framework. And once you know to do that, you’ll never get cut! Well, and using a Kevlar glove is pretty important too. Yeah, I know, for most people it’s another expenditure. But I am now using the Kevlar glove on my right hand when I’m slicing things. And it WILL prevent spilled blood, even for the most careful folks. A slicer should be very sharp and it should last a long time, in my humble opinion. I think this will live up to both of those expectations. However, in order to do so, one needs to develop new hands to keep one’s fingers from getting cut on the blade.

muito bom produto

Jag valde den här eftersom de har "ben" och står stadigt när man använder den. Jag har artros i händerna så jag ville inte ha en sylvassa mandolin som jag var tvungen att hålla i. Flera tjocklekar, mkt vass och hyvlar med lätthet. Lätt att göra ren. En toppenprodukt.
