Kyocera Advanced Ceramic Slicer Set with Adjustable Mandoline, Julienne Slicer, and Grater

Best mandolins out there! They are sharp, sharp sharp! And they certainly do the job. Also love that you can use the base of the case holds a single mandolin flat and catches what you are slicing. I've owned these mandolins before, but them fifteen years ago at a specialty shop in Portland. Sadly my partner got custody after a break up. :/Being a vegan, I use these things A LOT— daily! They clean up easily too.One thing you may want to do is purchase is a pair of stainless mesh gloves — I didn't — but I will now. I've already almost sliced off some finger tips. OUCH! The ceramic blades are that sharp! But that's what you want in a mandolin - sharp blades that will never dull. They may seem pricey ... but well worth the initial outlay. You'll have these a long time!

I love this thing. I got it because I'm eating more plant based lately and wanted a faster way to slice things. I definitely got that. What I also got was a delicious way to shave zucchini, squash, carrots... a lot of things. I hate zoodles but for some reason zucchini tastes great as ribbons from this thing. Highly recommend.Stores easy too.

These are my second slicer and julienne-r from Kyocera. The older versions, bought 5 years ago, are heavier in construction. The box that is supposed to act as storage and a receptacle is flimsy polystyrene and it cracked as I opened it to remove the slicers. . Despite this, the blades are still great and I have found nothing better for making very thin slices.

I have another expensive slicer and I now know that I will probably never use it again. This new slicer is so easy to use and store. The product was well-packed; it arrived quickly and they even sent a small soap bar asa gift (perfect for a guest bathroom).

I bought this to shave onions and potatoes down for making fried onion burgers, philly cheese steak sandwiches, and to make hashbrowns from potatoes. Works great, but super duper sharp. Make sure you use a guard (included) or some anti-cut kitchen gloves. I use the latter. One slip and you will lose a fingertip, so don't try it bare-handed.

I bought this after reading an article on Epicurous recommending it as an inexpensive but effective slicer. Wow, I would hate to try the others they compared it to.Tried the slider once using baby Yukon gold potatoes - more like potato. It kept getting hung up in the blade. The hand guard you use to push the food through is pretty much useless. You have to push so hard to get the food through, it slides off your food leaving little grated marks. I had to finish the job with my chef’s knife.Tried the julienne slicer with both carrots and celery root. It works, but it makes a huge mess (see photo) and you need to use your hand (with a protective glove) - and only you can only get through about half the vegetable (again, the guard/holder is worthless).Only upside, it goes in the dishwasher.I’m asking Santa for a real Big-girl mandolin this holiday season and hoping for better results.

This mandoline, with its many features, is great. I love it! It's easy to clean, everything fits perfectly, sharp blades, it doesn't rust or lose its sharpness. Highly recommended!!!

First of all let say it, this thing is pretty sharp, no question about it. Sharp to the point it is dangerous if mishandled,and that brings me to the point: the design of this product induces the user to mishandle it. the blade build quality is awesome, the rest not so much. First problem is that it's not really practical to be used with the guard that comes with the product, because it is not a perfect fir for sliding in the edges of the product, and it gets stuck very easily, which makes impossible to produce repeated stokes back and forward in a productive manner. Therefore, you need to start handling the piece by hand, and only use the guard to make the final slices, this by itself its reason enough to stay away from the product because you would buy something like this to increase your productivity or reduce your effort, which you can't achieve with it. Second problem is that the plastic bed, which you adjust for the thickness of the slice, is not sturdy, which means depending on what you are slicing, it will deflect downwards. The result is that you simply can't make a slice that is consistent in thickness with things like cheese for example. When the blade "bites" into the cheese, it starts with the desired thickness, but as the cheese slides towards the blade, the contact area increases (diagonal) and it produces enough force to deflect the plastic piece and increase the slice thickness, and from there, the is no way back, it keeps getting thicker or it stays with that thickness when the stress between the blade cheese and plastic bed is balanced. Third serious problem: very sharp ceramic blade means very easy to chip blade. It turns out that even though I have used this product only with soft objects, cheese being the hardest, I already have a few chips on the blade edge, which means this won't stay sharp for very long. Fourth problem: the blade sits at the end of the bed, which means everything you slice will accumulate on the end of the compartment below the blade, which is about 1/4 or less of the total available space. This means that you need to constantly arrange the slices below to make more space for the next ones, which is extremely counter productive.So my advice to you is the following: unless you are planning to buy this one to slice very soft and medium to small objects, with very thin slices, there are better options out there that will get the job done faster, safer and probably better. This won't be a "solve all needs" tool. So if you want to buy this, you should be open to the possibility to own a second slicer for everything else this one can't do for you.
