Five Star Reviews:	54% Great buy! September 3, 2017 Let me tell you, I love this thing! I make pico de gallo and my family has to have the tomatoes and onions cut super small...ain't nobody got time for that!!!! But this little guy dices the tomatos and onions to perfection and makes the process soooooooooo quick and easy!!! Oh and let me add that I made 10a# of potato salad and it cut my time in less than half of what it normally takes to dice up the potatos!!! The price can't be beat! Buy it without hesitation, you won't be sorry...I purchased this product it was not free... love it September 12, 2016 this is actually my second purchase of this item, I chopped my way through three bushels of tomatoes and other veggies this canning season. this is my third season using this chopper and while it is in perfect condition, I decided that I wanted a back-up on hand. what is so super about this unit is the ease of cleaning, so much easier than any other unit I tried. if you do large quantities of salsa this a great time saver Vegetable's Chef Chopper May 7, 2016 I love the Vegetable's Chef chopper, especially the ease of operating it. My last chopper was difficult and I usually had to get my husband to push it down and it broke. Having 3 blades to choose from is a plus! Not only do you get this great chopper, you also get an e-book with 50 recipes and a vegetable peeler. Although the recipes are European based, you can request (as I did) the Imperial version which is the American version as far as the measurements go. I'm planning to do one of the recipes soon. For small needs or small kitchens. This is a great chopper. October 20, 2015 My biggest worry about ordering this item was that it would end up being made of cheap flimsy plastic and would break immediately when I use it. I was gratefully surprised that this was not the case. The plastic is thick and sturdy, the blade squares fit snugly into the unit and the top lid is very sturdy with the soft rounded plastic edge to keep your hands from being hurt during use. This is a quick sensible way of chopping ingredients with out having to drag out a food processor and deal with the pain in the rear of cleaning. This unit is dishwasher safe and comes with a cleaning pick to help clean the squares used to press the ingredients down into the blades. The peeler is a great addition and since we recently moved, have of my kitchen gadgets have gotten lost so this was great timing. I really like the fact that your food is chopped and dropped into the container and doesn't drop onto the counter for it to grow legs and leap off of the counter onto the floor. There are three blades for different shapes which covers pretty much any recipe you may have. As long as you chop the veggie into small enough chunks first, you should not have a problem using this. Good product for a great price. Great tool to add to your kitchen collection March 6, 2015 I received the Vegetable's Chef through a promotion in return for an Honest review. The packing was good with no scratches or shuffling around at all. I got it out and washed it up right away. I first used the larger square chopping blade to make small french fries from red potatoes that I needed to use up . I love how easy it was to put the potato on and just push the top down, it did not take a lot of force, and my six year old was able to do it as well. I can never cut uniform thickness so this is perfect for me. I then used it to slice some carrots with the thinner blade attachment to roast with my potatoes, and again it went right through them with no problem at all. Clean up was very simple and it is perfect that it comes with a comb like attachment to clean out the smaller parts. It seems to be very well made and I would recommend this product to anyone especially if like me, you are impatient and hate spending lots of time hand dicing or chopping vegetables for meals.	51% This thing is super sharp June 4, 2016 This slicer makes quick work of everything from cucumbers to potatoes. I used it to cut a 5 lb sack of potatoes into kettle chips in about 10 minutes. I also used it to slice a bunch of zucchini and oinions to put on the grill and it took me 1/10 of the time I usually spend slicing them with a knife. The thickness of the slices is so easy to adjust. You just twist the knob and you can go from paper thin to about 1/2" thick slices. Add on the slotted blade and you can make shoestring fries or pretty much whatever type of veggies you want to cut into strips. My daughter used it to cut zucchini into spaghetti sized strips and made a healthy spaghetti type dish, using the zucchini in place of pasta. One word of warning though, as I mentioned earlier, this thing is super sharp. It will not discriminate between your fingers and whatever you are cutting. This makes such fast work of slicing veggies, you will be tempted to just hold them in your hand as you run them back and forth at a lightning pace. If you prefer having all of your skin on your fingers to having some of it in your bowl of freshly sliced veggies, I'd use the included holder. Luckily, I was cutting 1mm thick chips and not steak fries when I learned this valuable lesson the hard way. Great slicer! August 10, 2015 I bought it slice/chop papaya for papaya salad but didn't turn out so well, so I started using it for other things. I love how thinly you can use this to slice stuff. I didn't have a spiralizer so I used it to thinly slice zucchini and then cut it into strips to make noodles. Amazing! I've also used it to slice ginger, and it is amazing how thin it can slice things. I will update my review as I use it more but so far, I'm happy with what it's been able to do. Please be careful as the blades can be very sharp. It's easy to clean (rinse under water after your done, and if you need to get some stuff out, the tip of a skewer does the trick) and really easy to change between blades. I'm not sure I'l be able to utilize it for all its functions, but for what it's been able to do so far, I would definitely recommend it. Quality April 22, 2014 Bought this after getting fed up with my "slice-o-matic". This is 1000 times better. All I've done so far is slice with the basic blade. But pulling the "french fry" blades up is easy as pie. Easy to slice. Easy to clean. Easy to change the blades as well. With what you get for the price, this is totally worth it! I only wish there was an easy way to store everything together compactly. Other than that it's awesome. Side note: Highly recommend getting a pair of gloves to use with this. Excellent! Wonderful! Great! October 1, 2013 This is, by far, the best slicer/grater that I've ever used. The blades are all super sharp and make slicing and grating extremely easy. In fact, I read the reviews before I purchased this mandoline, and one of the reviewers had promptly cut his finger on it; when I read that review, I thought "Uh huh - got to be careful." Yep, got to be careful with it, because on my second use, I managed to cut my finger and didn't even feel it at first, the blade is so thin. That thin blade slices tomatoes easily and cleanly, as long as I gently move the tomato back and forth across the blade as it goes through the cut. Only one other slicer I've had cut tomatoes so well, and that was a $120 large countertop slicer that is cumbersome to set up and time-consuming to clean. Clean-up is very easy, and most of the time I just rinse each part after use and put it aside to drain until the next use - veggies that I've sliced and grated don't stick at all to the surface and wash away easily. I've used this almost every day since I bought it, and the blade is still as sharp as when I got it, and I still love it. So Much Better September 18, 2013 I had previously purchased a cheaper mandoline slicer with a well known brand name that turned out to be a piece of junk. I wanted a good one but didn't want to pay an arm and a leg so I took a chance on this one. This has turned out to be a very good chance...I am very happy with this slicer. It is very sturdy with several blade options. You can adjust the thickness of the slices, something you couldn't do with the cheaper one. It is easy to keep in place so you aren't worried about it slipping and causing injury. My favorite part is the holder you attach to what you are slicing. It has a floating pin system that moves as you slice so you are never having to lift your hand and it gets down to the last tiny slice...no waste. This thing slices an onion perfectly for onion rings or whatever and gets literally every last piece. It is super sharp so it takes just a few seconds to slice a large onion. Faster than even locating a knife! I haven't used all the blades since I really just wanted it for slicing but all the blades and components are well made, sturdy, very sharp and appear as easy to clean as the slicing blade. I highly recommend this product!

Four Star Reviews:	13% Great chopper September 15, 2017 I purchased this chopper by a friend's recommendation. I have to admit, it makes a chore like chopping a lot more enjoyable. I use it mostly for when I find sales on things like peppers and onions and want to freeze them up in a baggie, to have them handy. Otherwise, I wouldn't use it for just one veggie. Good product. Good but not great. June 15, 2016 A little weird to clean but I like it. It's pretty awesome at making salads. I would not recommend it for herbs. They get stuck in the white top part. It recommends using soft foods for specific blades so as long as you follow those instructions that should be fine. Works great! May 31, 2016 Excellent buy, and I am not being paid for my review. I have had this item for over a year now and it works well. Saves me plenty of time chopping and dicing green peppers, onions, tomatoes and more for salads, omlettes and fresh salsa. It dies take some time to clean, especially after chopping tomatoes, but for the price, you can't beat it. loved it October 10, 2015 Absolutely love this chopper. I have never used any chopper in my life but after much hearing about these things making life easier I decided on to buy one. Two of my friends have this same chopper so I also went for this. I used it for the time for bell pepper and tomato and it worked magically. But I am not sure how long would it last seeing the way everytime I have to push it down and apply force. Well, lets see, for now its working... This thing is awesome! I'd give it five stars if I hadn't ... September 9, 2015 This thing is awesome! I'd give it five stars if I hadn't already broke it. Unfortunately the hinges were a little more fragile than I had estimated. The interchangeable chopping grates are each perfectly sized. It's also easy to clean - especially with the grate cleaner that is included. Simply run it through a few times. The plastic bottom is very easy to wash out, and the plastic itself is good quality (has not become scratched/cloudy). I've put everything imaginable through this thing - it makes dicing and chopping (especially in volume) effortless.	24% Great little product April 23, 2017 Great little product. Not industrial grade but treat it will care and it will last. The one thing I don't like is the "grabber" which is used to told the item-to-be-sliced in place. It has 4 prongs that are meant to enter the item to hold it in place. However, many times with potatos (my primary use), the "grabber" came free leaving the potato flying free and my fingers (due to downward pressure) in risk of being sliced by the blade. Kitchen Pro November 19, 2015 This mandolin was a great gift for my husband. I think that it isn't the most amazing one on the market, but I love that it has so many attachments and different ways to slice and grate and prep food for your endless meals. I know that people are complaining about there not being some rubber handle or something but I don't think that has any effect on the tool itself. I am super happy with this purchase. UPDATE 12/3: I have now purchased this mandoline twice and I am so thrilled with it. This was a great gift for my mother and she is having so much fun making different recipes. *They Don't Lie: This Sht Is Sharp May 27, 2015 I should have known better than to get a mandoline, but after watching one too many Top Chef and Master Chef episodes, I bought one anyone, lured by the idea of paper-thin, perfect, beautiful slices of all the vegetables I could get my hands on. I was so excited when it arrived and read all the "WARNING: Extremely Sharp!" warnings on all the pieces. "Yes, of course it's sharp! Duh! That's why I bought it." Put it together and started upon my vision of uniformly sliced cucumber pieces...and within 6 slices, I had also sliced off the tip of my finger. After waiting for the bleeding to stop for over an hour and then a visit to the ER, I packed all the pieces back into the box and have not touched it since. I now wince every time I watch the chefs and wannabes on TV use one so quickly. 5 stars for delivering on its promise of sharp cutting, minus 1 star for missing finger piece. Does the job January 16, 2014 First, I would like to say that Mandolines are not for the novice cook. Yes they are sharp and yes you could do some damage to your fingers. If they were not sharp they would not do the job. This isn't a reason to give a product 1 star. I recently devolved an allergy to white potatoes and miss potato chips. My purchase was to make sweet potato chips and this mandoline does a whiz bang job with sweet potatoes( you know how tough they can be to cut with a knife). I nocked off a star because I did not like the pusher that came with it. I instead use one that came with one of my other mandolines that would not adjust down to slice thin enough for chips. Blades are not replaceable but are sharp enough to last for quite a while. I comes with enough attachments to warrant the price. Update: I bought a second one for my sister who is a novice cook. Along with the mandoline I bought a pair of cut resistant safety gloves for her to use when slicing. She has a dog that has food allergies and plans on making dehydrated sweet potatoes sliced like fries. For her she wants to make sweet potato chips and zucchini strips for veggie lasagna. Handy to have.** September 6, 2012 Handy to have when you don't want to drag out the big food processor. I mainly purchased this to be able to slice potatoes thin enough for microwave potato chips, something my processor could not do. UPDATE: Follow the reviews that tell you to use the guard, I read but did not follow when slicing squash. Being a long vegetable I thought I would be ok til about half way down and then use the guard, WRONG! Sliced a small chunk out of my pinky, ICK! There is somewhat of a learning curve if you have never used one. I had always used a processor or a knife. It is manual but still quicker than a knife and at my age you really don't care (and neither does anyone else) if you're right (or left) boob ends up a little perkier than the other one. ;)

Three Star Reviews:	6% Three Stars July 26, 2017 Didn't have device included to clean grates that was supposed to be included. Works well other than that. Okay for small amount January 3, 2017 Hard to put too much in the dicer. I can only put a little piece of onion or carrot to get it to work. But it does cut nicely when you do that. the main compartment is sturdy, well designed and good for storage August 23, 2016 the main compartment is sturdy, well designed and good for storage..but the blades could have been more sharper and stronger..peeler kinda feels flimsy ...did not like it.. otherwise it is a good ,handy tool for those who cooks on daily basis . Disappointed! January 22, 2016 My old chopper was perfectly fine except it didn't have the slicer option. So I gave it to my Mom and ordered this one. The first time I used the slicer it bent and now is no good. I feel very disappointed. I got this as a gift for a family friend ... January 19, 2016 I got this as a gift for a family friend as we have a similar one, but the box shows that there should be three separate rather than 2. They gave 2 of the same kind rather than 3 different sizes. Not sure if anyone else had the same issue. According to the picture as well there are 3 different blades.	10% Okay for the price point. March 24, 2015 My daughter purchased one of these first and recommended it to me. I wanted to try microwave potato chips and needed a mandoline slicer. The price on this one has varied from $16 to $22 over the past couple of weeks and I was able to purchase at the lower price. This comes from Norpro which is a reputable company I have purchased from before. There are a variety of blades but I have only used the regular blade which is very sharp and makes quick work of slicing potatoes. It also comes with a juicer attachment. It does unfold and stands securely. I will say that I do not like the mechanism and the guard that holds the item to slice. It is very unstable and your vegetable (or fruit, cheese, etc) must attach to the four prongs inset in the guard. Most of the potatoes I have used did not fit properly as they were either too large or too small. For me, very few items have fit securely and I find myself using my hand instead. You have to be exceedlingly careful to to slice your fingers! For use once in a while this is fine as long as I am careful. For everyday use I would definitely purchase something in a higher price range with more safety features. Good for the money April 21, 2014 I'm glad I got the bargain version of a mandolin before plopping down big bucks for one. Just know that whatever you slice has to be pretty firm. Zucchini, potato, apple, carrots are fine...but don't try tomatoes, cheese (unless it is really hard), say, cooked meats. Also, the vertical blades made me think that it could be used for dicing up onions...not so. Those blades are not very sharp. So while I can see how they would be good enough for making french fries (something I've yet to make), they don't work for dicing onions or, say, tomatoes. So I must say there is nothing wrong with this product. It just did not meet my expectations. So perhaps my expectations were out of line...but I just don't want others to make the same mistake. I haz a mad..... February 2, 2014 I bought this for two reasons.....waffle fries and potato chips. It did a great job slicing potatoes for the chips, but when it came to the waffle fries.....the serrations on the "wavy blade" or whatever they call it are way too shallow for me to make waffle fries. I just get ridges scratched into either side of a potato slice. Boo..... Works great for the potato chips though, so at least it's not a total failure. Also used it for onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes, and I'm happy with all of the blades. All except the crinkle cut piece of ish that's so shallow I can't make my beloved waffle fries. Somewhat disappointed... August 14, 2013 The food pusher is REALLY awkward. The pins are recessed, so you have to lift the top up while trying to get it to stick into the food...I'm rarely successful. Got a pair of gloves instead, but still can't get the last piece through thin enough. But, I'm pretty sure the pins are recessed to keep them from hitting the dull blades, & damaging them. They were sorta ok in the beginning, but became severely dulled in short order. I've never been able to cut anything that isn't very crisp {potatoes, carrots, etc.} The slightest mushiness in a potato, & you'll be there forever struggling with it. The blades are clearly made out of VERY cheap metal. I had to have a friend use a stone to sharpen the straight blade b/c it won't fit in a conventional sharpener...forget about sharpening the others. The grating blades are ok, but not large enough to use on big jobs...like lots of cheese. The unit itself is sturdy enough, & I like the recessed julienne blades. They seem to be slightly better quality than the main blade. So, if you don't have anything less firm than a carrot to cut, don't mind struggling with dull blades & an awkward pusher, it's ok for first time buyers. first impression - good February 18, 2013 The plastic body is reinforced enough for a light duty kitchen tool, although the leg probably will break where the load is entirely on the hinge. The parts fit and lock well, but adjustment parts are light duty. The soft plastic threaded bolt and thin spring will not survive jammed or gummed up food. It has blades to make french fries but the slicer will not survive pushing potatoes through the blades, and the fries will be about 1/4 inches square or less - too small - IMO. I bought it wanting a cheese grater, never used one before, but with a safety handle, since kids might want to try using it. For the price, it is an acceptable gamble. I may just remove the french fry blade barrel and the adjusting bolt to make the cleaning even easier in the washer.

Two Star Reviews:	7% Two Stars June 19, 2017 Broken after using it for 1 month. Missing Free Book and Breaks Easily April 2, 2016 Bought a bunch of these as Christmas gifts...there was no free book included with any of them. Also, you still have to chop your veges up before using, or it will break like mine did. If you don't mind chopping first, it makes nice uniform pieces. It would be a fantastic product if it was made out of stainless steel and didn't break. I'd rather use a knife. January 24, 2016 I've had this product a week and don't like it. Using a knife is more efficient. By the time I fight the product enough to get the food sliced, I could have been done with a knife. You have to be selective which foods will pass through, and many don't. which is pretty hard to clean out of the gridwork on top ... September 29, 2015 The product doesn't cleanly cut veggies. Onions, peppers, tomatoes all leave mess behind, which is pretty hard to clean out of the gridwork on top that pushes your veggies through the cutting pieces. Also, the slicer mangles eggs. I still have to use a knife if I want cubes cut with the larger grid - the slicer is way too thin to make proportioned cubes. Boo, I"m not happy! While the idea of this chopper is awesome, making short work of pico de gallo and ... July 22, 2015 While the idea of this chopper is awesome, making short work of pico de gallo and other salsas, the quality of this particular item is TERRIBLE. I have owned it for a little over two months. I have used it approximately 4-5 times. Already the logo has worn off and one of the pieces is bent, so that it has become cumbersome to use. The little comb they give to help clean it is flimsy and feels like the teeth will break off at any moment. I love this tool, but I would NOT recommend this maker. Buy a chopper but do yourself a favor and DON'T buy this one!	6% Really not worth it April 29, 2015 Really limited on shapes when shredding or slicing, the attachments are not fun to deal with, and it's really hard to clean out. The only thing this device would do better than average at would to be even slices or whatever very small item you want to make. Otherwise a knife and a hand grater is better and MUCH easier to clean. Did I mention small? I mean in both ways. You'll get less of an area to grate on than a normal grater, plus having to chop it down to fit the little safety handle. Pain in the neck. What I had hoped to do, was to use it for long zucchini slices-that was my error in judgement on what it could do. The rest... I liked all the attachments March 27, 2015 I liked all the attachments. I DON'T like the safety holder top of the handle. It looks as one piece, it is but yet it isn't. When you attach your fruit or vegetables I did make certain it was firmly attached from underneath but the part you have your hand over pops up then the fruit/veggies pops out from underneath. I know sounds confusing only example I can give is a very long time ago their was a plastic travel cup that folded many used to take medicine it was like an accordian you can pull it up to have a cup and close to collapse it while still as one piece this is similiar. Make certain you insert the 4 prongs into the large part of your firm fruit or veggie. My only complaint is the handle, it needs to be modified as I solid piece. You get what you pay for March 1, 2015 I really liked it at first, problem is it didn't last and I am back in the market for a new mandoline. It is made of plastic and did not even last a year. The grating was ok because the size of grating area was very small. I eventually adjusted but..... Slicing was another story. It was not a smooth motion at all. It was a struggle to get the blade trough the food. Even eggplant did not slice smoothly. My problem is I want one that slices and grates but that is pretty hard to find in the expensive slant or V-blade models. Guess I'll just have to get a separate shredder. So my recommendation. Spend more. You get what you pay for. Please do not buy this mandoline if you want something that lasts. doesn't exactly make your kitchen experience easier. January 5, 2015 I'm not returning this item because I can use the upper body workout. It is a messy companion, with a shredder surface area that is severely lacking-- but since I'm only going to use it once every couple of weeks, I will keep it around until I can get something better for a decent price. Made me appreciate a good knife and a better food processor. September 6, 2014 I am sure that those who love this have figured out how to use this more effectively than I have. The directions are laughably poor. The good: It is cheap and compact, the graters more or less work about as you'd expect; the slicer works with good grasp The Bad: the safety holder is horrible and undermines any potential this machine might otherwise have. Does not hold things. Very unintuitive and the instructions (again) are horrible. Definitely speaks for the recommendation of getting gloves to use this with. Hard to clean. The blades for fries are very difficult to turn up and down. Only works for a very small band of sizes and requires a kind of force that as often as not ended up with the bit of produce flying away from the blade angrily. As I say, I've got some major technique to learn, but am wondering why I'd want to spend time perfecting my Norpro slicing brilliance, when I'm good enough with a knife and have a set of great kitchen alternatives.

One Star Reviews:	20% would have been a great product if the blades were stronger August 22, 2017 Returned it! Slicing blade bent on the first use. Didn't realize until later that the bent blade was cutting into the white plastic that pushes the food through the blades and causing little pieces of plastic to break off into my food. Should have thought about it while I was cutting the potatoes but hindsight... would have been a great product if the blades were stronger. DO NOT BUY July 21, 2016 -DO NOT BUY- This item has a great idea, but it simply does not work. The 1/4" cutting blade broke on the second use.. on soft-boiled vegetables (carrots, garlic scapes). The cleaning tool broke on its second use. The first use was okay, with fresh vegetables, except it takes so long to fully clean out the unit that it's actually quicker to cut by hand. Broke first time used! Pass on this one... April 21, 2016 Don't waste your money. Broke the first time I used it chopping red peppers. Not even a hard vegetable! The metal cutting band pushed right out. Also, didn't like the blade inserts. I've had other brands (which lasted years not one day) and definitely prefer the one piece blade trays instead of this one that has one tray that you place three different blade inserts on. They didn't fit well, which is probably why it broke since the blades were most likely off a bit and weren't lined up correctly. This one is going back. What a disappointment. Poor quality September 1, 2015 The first half onion I placed into the press, it cracked the actual bottom container. This made cutting onions more of a hassle and I ended up just chopping them myself with the knife. I gave it another try the next time, even broken, because I just couldn't get myself to accept the fact I had wasted my money and wanted to prove to myself that it actually had some use, unfortunately the fact that it cracked doesn't allow you to firmly press down and grip onto the onion in between in order for it to be chopped. I have just come to the conclusion that this item is poorly made and has no use for it in my kitchen One Star May 3, 2015 Didn't make it through one cutting of an onion even after I halted it	9% Be very careful if you purchase this product! June 7, 2015 This Mandoline earned me a trip to the ER with partial amputation of pinkie on my second time to use it. It is made of plastic and moves around a lot as very light which is what happened to me. It has a guard with prongs which I was not using because it is very hard to get denser veggies and potatoes on the very small and cheap metal prongs. That was a concern when comparing mandolins but the steel one was too expensive although now with cost of ER visit I could have gotten it and probably still had my whole pinkie and nail. I have ordered cut proof gloves now to use while operating this and recommend you purchase a pair and wear them during operation of this kitchen appliance as is very sharp and guard does not work very well for some items. I just wanted to warn potential purchasers of what not to do and encourage extra hand protection while using this very sharp object! Don't waste your money April 6, 2015 This is truly a piece of crap. It's amazing how you can take a simple concept of a mandolin, and ruin it. The first thing you do, is give a blade that ISN'T sharp. Yeah, maybe it will slice a potato, or an apple, but don't try anything hard like a carrot. Then you take the blades to make fries, and they don't stay upright when you pass them, so you end up with a flat cut rather than fries. It's insane how these blade don't lock in place. Add to this useless grating attachments. I'm not a negative person, I usually write very positive reviews, but this piece of junk brought out the best in me. UPDATE: Tremendous credit to Amazon, for accepting the return of this item!! Returned it January 13, 2015 I'm having a hard time getting used to this. I have never owned a mandoline before. Trying to fit things into the guard is a pain, and I have had better results just not using the guard. Of course, that is not safe. I have tried tomatoes and they turned to mush. I did carrots and they did ok, but sometimes the slices got stuck in the blade. I'm still not really sure about this product. Updated review on Jan.16, 2015. I have decided to return this item. After trying it several more times,I found it just takes too much force to cut through anything. The blades apparently aren't sharp enough. I tried to make french fries and in the first place, you cannot use the guard with anything that size. In the second place, it took a LOT of force to get it to cut through the potato, and it would get stuck halfway causing me to back up and try it again. The bottom line is that using that much force WILL result in an injury at some point. I'm going back to using a good sharp knife to slice things. Take My Slicer PLEASE July 22, 2014 Wow, I had high hopes for finally slicing cukes or shredding cabbage for slaw. Not possible with this very poorly designed product. The safety holder has for small pins that are supposed to hold the item you want to slice. It is not possible to hold a vegetable in those tiny prongs and drag it across the angled blade. The "Shredder Blade" is laughably small sized holes that my cabbage just skimmed over. The cucumbers where mush and fell to the counter top as the slicer does not fit onto a bowl while you try slicing. I can't imagine trying to pull/push a potato or carrot across the "Wavy Blade", it takes so much force to operate. Again, an awful product, but it arrived timely and well packaged from the seller. Gonna stick to using a knife! July 11, 2014 Just use a knife folks. This product is not what I expected. The only blade that seems to work as described is the slicing blade. The grating blade turned my cole slaw into mush and made grating cheddar nearly impossible. Cheese stuck in the blades and a lot of force was needed. I will stick to my box grater for cheese. The "guard" is difficult to use as well. Pieces need to be cut fairly small in order to be held and passed through blades. Im going to keep it because hubby laughed at me when I took it from the box. Im going to pretend it works just because of that! And the slicer is ok.
