Jenny2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Anyone have a great mandolin? I have a spiral slicer, but sometimes I just want to julienne or slice something (plantains) really thin. I $$ for a good one. Thanks for any insight! Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmary Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Swissmar-Borner-V-1001-V-Slicer-Mandoline/dp/B0000632QE/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1389549933&sr=1-1&keywords=mandolin But I see that there's now a newer version: http://www.amazon.com/Swissmar-Borner-Power-Mandoline-V-7000/dp/B003CN6Q1Y/ref=sr_1_8?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1389549933&sr=1-8&keywords=mandolin That brand seems to be the highest rated of the less expensive mandolins. I'm sure you could get an all metal one for more, but I haven't had any issues with this one, other than I freak out a little inside each time I use it because it is SO sharp.

peace_positive Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I just ordered the newer version i read the reviews and saw it's dishwasher safe. Huge plus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktsimons Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I have had an expensive all metal one for 5 years - used it twice and I hate it! Heavy, hard to change the blade, hand wash only...I feel like I wasted $100.00. We cleaned out a friends garage and I found a cheesey plastic one and think it is just dandy...it wast the "as seen on TV" one, still in the box with the plastic wrap on it! German & Swiss kitchen gear is always great, in my opinion...good purchase, Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
look_alive Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I love my cheap, $15 OXO Good Grips mandoline. It'll take a fingertip off just as well as the expensive ones, and its dishwasher safe!
