Mueller Austria V-Pro Multi Blade Adjustable Mandoline Slicer

The blades are very sharp and for professional use

This has cut my chopping time down to a third for the time it was taking me previously. I make lots of pickles and it was taking me so long to chop everything but this is fantastic! I use this for tomatoes, sliced first then put in, then onions in half then pushed through, works a treat in no time. I also use it to chop cauliflower for pickles and it has been just awesome, so glad I brought this!

Have been looking for years for a good Mandoline. So happy I found this on Amazon

This mandolin is phenomenal. I have 3 of the Swissmar Borner mandolins that are much more expensive. The reason that I have 3 of them is that each has options the others don't have. This mandolin covers the cutting options of the 3 Borner mandolins and then some. Both have German blades and are manufactured in Germany. So they are comparable in this aspect. Some of the things I love about this set are: - it includes a waffle cutting blade that I had bought separately for the Borner sets - it has two different shredding blades that the other set don't include - the blades are every bit as sharp as the Borner blades - thicknesses of cuts are adjustable which is one reason I had one of the Borner sets - It includes a stand that can be used or not depending on the job. This is not an option on the Borner mandolins - I have all the blades I would ever want without storing multiple sets - The cost of this set is much less than the Swissmar Borner mandolins, but offers many more options So far, I couldn't be happier with this mandolin, and would highly recommend it. I can't imagine why the Swissmar Borner sets cost so much more unless it it just because of publicity. UPDATE 8/01/18 I bought this mandoline in Feb. 2017, and have used it periodically as needed. This year, I have been using it a lot more for slicing veggies, such as beets, zucchini, squash, etc., that we buy from local farmers. At this time of year, we buy a lot of these veggies that I blanch, package, and freeze for the winter. Although I still love all of the options for cutting vegetables offered by this mandoline, there is one thing I don't like about it that isn't included in the product page description. I have added pictures to this review to illustrate what I will attempt to describe here. On the top of the mandoline, there are slots that you can adjust blades to come through for julienne cutting (Pic #1). The blades you can choose provide two different widths for julienne cutting (Pics #2 & #3). Under the mandoline, there is a cover you can open for cleaning that covers the blades so you don't get cut on exposed blades (Pic #4). When the cover is opened, the blades are exposed for cleaning (Pic #5). I can see where it would be necessary to open the blade cover to clean the blades when you use them for julienne cutting. What i don't like is that this area must be cleaned even if you are using only the slicing blades since the juices and particles from what you are slicing go into the slots on the top of the mandoline. The blades under the mandoline are very sharp, and the slots on top are not often easy to clean. Although I do still like the many options available for this mandoline, I am tempted to buy a mandoline that would be strictly for slicing and easier to clean. One other feature that I very much like is that this mandoline was designed to fit securely over bowls or pots of different sizes so that you can slice directly into a vessel. This can eliminate a lot of mess especially when slicing something like beets. As for the cleaning problem with food getting into the julienne blade area, I fold a paper towel and slide it under slots of the base and above the julienne blades. Any juices that go through the base unit slots are absorbed by the paper towel which spares me having to clean the julienne blades every time I slice foods. All in all, I am still loving this mandoline.

This product blades are extremely sharp. I cut myself so bad that I had to get a stitch done after. Never use without guard . Otherwise a great product...
