Five Star Reviews: | 53% Works fine for us. July 26, 2017 Works great. It slips on the counter a little, but I put rubber mesh shelf liner under it. No more slipping.Haven't had it that long. But have already done several pounds of meat, cheese, and vegetables.Take your time and don't bog the motor down, and it works great. Easy cleanup IMO. Very Sturdy Piece of Equipment... May 11, 2015 This is way more substantial than I expected for the price. For the last 30 years I had a smaller, white plastic slicer that did the job and I paid about $40 for it and it did the job, sort of. With inflation, I expected something similar. Not at all - this is a sturdy, serious piece of kitchen equipment. So far I have only sliced my home made breads and some roast beef on it but I am very satisfied with the performance. Easy slicing April 29, 2015 I would highly recommend this slicer. I not only used it to slice meat but I also used it to slice eggplant and cheese. It's easy to use and even easier to clean. Previously owned a plastic-slicer that needed to be assembled every time it was used. With this slicer the only part that needed to be removed for cleaning was the blade. Bob's Slicer March 29, 2015 Sliced up some ham and I must say I was very impressed with the way things turned out. Cut some for thin deli sandwiches and some ham steak thick cuts. I think this machine is just right for home use. I thought the serrated blade did a fine job on the slices. Easy to use and the machine is not to heavy but feels like it was built well. I would recommend that anyone using the machine buy yourself a pair of cut resistant gloves that protect your hands and fingers from working with the machine. Just a suggestion as the machine is designed with safety in mind though cleaning a round very sharp blade after use can be a little cumbersome. I am very happy with this purchase!! Good Product.Works Well. February 9, 2015 This is a good product. We have used it a couple of times & it works well. It slices cleanly. Easy to clean & store. I would highly recommend this slicer.I recieved this item quickly & was packaged securely. Very pleased. food preperation January 15, 2015 Excellent value was purchased to replace a similar model purchased many years ago. Was an excellent buy and is very easy to operate. Works for many slicing jobs. | 66% Would recommend March 3, 2017 I am very pleased with the way it works, made cutting the potatos super easy. The blades are easy to change from blades that slice thicker to blades ... January 10, 2017 Bought this as a Christmas gift for my mom last year. She loves it! Even a year later, the blades are still sharp and slices the vegetables as well as it did the day she pulled it out of the box. The blades are easy to change from blades that slice thicker to blades that slice thinner. It's easy to clean and doesn't take much space. You can slice almost any vegetable and it makes the job so much quicker and easier than slicing by hand with a knife. She has used it so much and it has been very well worth the money. Would definitely recommend for anyone that spends a lot of time preparing food. Buy it...You won't be disappointed! November 26, 2015 This slicer is great! I used it to slice potatoes for a scalloped potato dish and it worked smoothly. It has 5 interchangeable blades and everything fits nicely back in the box for easy storage. I love that it stands up on its own while you are slicing. The hand guard also works nicely with prongs to hold the item in place. I see this becoming a very handy tool for day-to-day prep in my cooking regimen. I've uploaded a copy of the instructions as some people can't seem to find them. The instructions come with the confirmation e-mail, versus printed and in the box. Love it! October 3, 2015 This is my first mandoline so there was a slight learning curve for me to get the hang of using it successfully. I mangled my first tomato and I sliced off a tiny chip of plastic from the safety grip slicing a potato... user errors all my own fault. But by my third time using it, it was a breeze. I love this thing! The price point is great for a mandoline with this many inserts for slicing varying thicknesses. One recommendation I'd have for newbies like me: mine came with no instructions in the box, so the only description of which insert to use for different cuts was a picture on the side of the box. You might want to cut that panel off the box and keep it before you throw the box away. AAAWESOME! August 29, 2015 I used the slicer for the first time today. I slice sweet onions to dehydrate. My family and friends love them so I dehydrate a lot. I don't know how long the blades will stay sharp, only time will tell. So far I absolutely love it! Easy to use, easy to change blades, easy to clean. I can slice large size onions. The guard is wonderful. Can't say enough about it, I highly recommend this mandolin slicer. |
Four Star Reviews: | 22% Pulled pork was the result rather than sliced still tasted good, no August 11, 2017 Probably I need to work on technique, shredded my pork rather then slice it. Probably was to warm. Pulled pork was the result rather than sliced still tasted good, no leftovers The machine started to smell like burnt electrical wire after i cut about 3 pounds ... August 8, 2017 The machine started to smell like burnt electrical wire after i cut about 3 pounds of ham but nothing was smoking,burning or malfunctioning. Next time ill try cut 2 pounds at a time and see if that helps the smell. Thats the only con really. Pros are the price its super cheap, the quality its not flimsy and it is a decent size. Last but not least it is easy to clean. There is a black part on the blade that u turn and the blade comes right off easy. You have to mess when the knob to get your desired thickness but overall you'll love the machine. Use a light touch.. July 7, 2016 If you, like me, have worked in delis or pizza shops and used slicers, then you should know what you're doing with this. But, it's not as big, solid, and heavy as you're probably used to; the blade is serrated; and it does not spin anywhere near as fast as you'll expect. I'd like it to spin faster, and to have a little more weight at the base, but just the same, if you use a light touch and a measure of patience, it'll serve you well for a very manageable price. Great little machine March 23, 2015 This is a great little machine. I wish it could slice a bit thicker, but for now I'm using it to make wholesome chicken jerky for my aging dog. She loves it and I know it's made of real chicken in the U.S. Cleaning is very easy. Slicing Away :) January 13, 2015 Quiet and slices well. The person I gave it to as a gift, has used it many times already since Christmas!! Well worth the money. :) | 15% Nice wide face area to slice on so it works ... February 22, 2016 Nice wide face area to slice on so it works really well with larger veggies. Can't do anything on it with carrots. But foe my slicing needs, this is super quick and easy. Has become a STAPLE item in my kitchen. This product is well-made. PLEASE be careful---there is a learning curve to getting the hang of this and just use caution, the blades are SHARP!! Slices well but be careful. February 7, 2016 I like this slicer. You just need to be careful with it. What I found is that the piece that holds your vegetable only takes the vegetable down so far. I didn't want to waste so much food so I tried to continue the slicing by holding the vegetable and I almost sliced my finger doing so. Be careful with this slicer. I recommend getting the mitt you can wear that is cut resistant. I was very excited to get this product. I ... December 4, 2015 I was very excited to get this product. I used it a little bit and it has become a dust collector in my cabinets. The main reason is because the slicing guard is really big and when you've sliced maybe 2/3 of the vegetable or fruit, the guard hits the mandolin and doesn't allow more slicing. So you have to remove the remainder of the fruit/veg etc and hand slice it with a knife anyways. (Or maybe purchase a sharps glove for protection and still use the mandolin with your glove hand- may still be dangerous?) I actually considered giving away my mandolin. Still mostly chop chop on my cutting board with a knife and I was excited to move away from that with a faster option. First Timer on a Mandolin Slicer November 3, 2015 The product arrived timely, and I give only a 4 star rating due to the following details. As a first time user and never having seen this product used, I was dismayed there were no instructions at all with the product, not even on the box it came in. The box did warn me to handle with care as the blades were very sharp. I had to go to the internet and watch YouTube videos to understand how it works. I figured out on my own how to change the slicers. I am sure as I get more familiar with using it, it will become a staple in my kitchen. I do wish I had a slicer where I could adjust the slice thickness, but the 3 different slicers will do for now. Check your parts August 11, 2015 It's plastic but better than the one I previously bought at the supermarket. However, it didn't come with instructions and instead of having a 3.5mm blade guide it had two 2.5mm guides. I'm waiting to hear from Amazon to see if they can get the missing piece for me. The safety guide is much better than the one I had and the adjustable prongs grab the food solidly. Update: Amazon shipped me a new one and this had all of the correct pieces. Good to know that they worked so quickly to make it right. Thanks Amazon! |
Three Star Reviews: | 11% Cheaply made and not as good as expected July 8, 2016 Cheaply made and not as good as expected, we returned this item. Will say we are a little spoiled as we are food service professionals, so it might be great for the average consumer. OK - but still under powered March 1, 2016 needs more power to cut bulk cheese-bogs down. Blade needs to turn faster. for general cutting Great for the price January 25, 2016 Sliced fine, just the motor and plastic gears are very noisey when running. Better price than walmart. They wanted $73 for this same slicer Worth the price, good for solid fruits and veggies, not good for fresh bread. January 11, 2016 I bake bread everyday and for some reason the men in the house just can't seem to cut a straight slice from the load. I bought this for them, and also to help when I do lots of dehydrating.For the price it well made, but doesn't have enough power to slice fresh bread. The blade's spinning slows down almost to a stop. Also, there isn't enough free space behind the blade to allow for the sliced piece to all freely, it gets bunched up.On the other hand, it does work fine for other foods. Firm carrots are sliced easily like a warm knife through butter. Sufficient unto the day July 10, 2015 Good machine, cuts well though a little ragged for my taste. Needs a little more power. | 11% Be careful. The blades are very sharp. May 21, 2016 I couldn't get the 'holder' to hold onto the carrot. So I thought I could do it by hand. Be careful - the blades are very sharp. I sliced my finger. Now, I am wary to use it. I love that everything comes out the same size April 25, 2016 A little hard to work with at first but I got the hang of it. I love that everything comes out the same size. However the round thing to hold the food for safety purposes is somewhat useless, it does not hold anything too skinny, too thick, or too hard like sweet potato. That was a little disappointing so I ended up buying the NoCry Cut resistant gloves then I just hold the food in my hands and go up and down until almost the end works like a charm! Love my new slicer January 12, 2016 Love my new slicer....just have to be careful, that blade is really sharp. I cut my finger taking it out of the box because I wasn't paying attention. After inspection, blade had several nicks in one side. Contacted GalleyFresh several times, They said they would send a replacement several times. Now been several months and nothing!! |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% Squeals like a pig even after oiling the center May 17, 2016 Squeals like a pig even after oiling the center. Health department gets called to your house because your apartment is zoned for residence only and not as a slaughter house. It sounds that bad.Alas, how often do you really need it? I slice frozen meats for hot pot once in a while so I won't be upgrading. Not thin enough for me and my Capicola... January 25, 2016 Felt like a good quality machine. easy to set up and clean...upon using machine and slicing my home made capicola, i found that i could not adjust slicer thin enough to get the desired thickness and a very annoying squeak came through the rotation of the blade. I mean this was a very loud rubbing and squeaking noise that would not stop even after lubricating the nylon buttons that the wheel laid against...I wasnt impressed with power either.. Amazon return policy is a perfect entity...So take a chance and if it doesn't meet your needs return it...Good hunting JIms To be returned. April 28, 2015 Item shows complete absence of any quality control.An oversize screw jammed into the thickness control mechanism in very prominent position is not flush with surrounding surface. It also shows signs of being over-torqued. This could reflect negatively on other parts not readily visible. Bulky housing of blade may also damage or break some food items because its convex shape interferes with a smooth ejection of the sliced food item. I consider that a design flaw not shown in the illustration.My old (30 years) hand-operated slicer's housing barely gets in the way of any food slice because it does not protrude and thus does not curl or break anything as it slides onto the receiving tray. Failure of providing such a tray is also a minus as is lack of space under the machine for a plate to catch the cut food. This is a less important feature, however, and may have to do with the low cost but a simple plastic tray with raised edges could have been included.As positives I should mention that the blade is easily removed for cleaning without tools and the packaging is superb. Not very useful. While this slicer runs smoothly and has some ... January 27, 2015 Not very useful. While this slicer runs smoothly and has some good features, the plastic pusher/ holder does not hold the material being sliced securely. While trying to slice bacon I found that after each pass the unsliced block of bacon would shoot out past the blade. No amount of pressure on the holder will keep this from happening. Also, the slide is not long enough to slice full length bacon. | 2% I would not recommend it. January 18, 2016 Not handy. It does not cut correctly: it cuts only half of the veggies. I would not recommend it. It works. The storage is a bit slippery for ... January 6, 2016 It works. The storage is a bit slippery for the blades as it is positioned horizontally for storage. The device to hold product for use is limited in size and you will have to use a knife to accommodate that. It is sharp and care has to be taken. Expected good results - disappointed September 2, 2015 I received my mandoline and I was excited.. To say the least, it was short lived. I put it together so that I could use it that night.. My family and I live on primarily a plant based diet, and do juicing, so having a mandoline I thought would've made thins a breeze and cut back on time spent slicing, etc. The blade isn't that sharp at all, it was a struggle to slice a sweet potato... And while slicing a pear, it was still a little challenging. The plastic handle/tool broke, were it slides on to assist and make it so that you don't cut your hand/fingers. This was my first mandoline and it made it a little difficult to want to buy another. |
One Star Reviews: | 10% One Star January 25, 2016 Weak motor and general poor quality and design. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. When trying to cut cheese or bologna, the metal ... July 5, 2015 When trying to cut cheese or bologna, the metal parts bends so it cuts thicker. Since top bends it cuts uneven and you keep flipping what you are cutting. I am returning this machine. Weak motor turns blade too slow to cut even homemade bread and form is such that if it does cut a slice it will bend and break. June 10, 2015 I bought this to cut homemade bread. The blade moves so slow it barely puts a dent in the crust and where the cut goods are supposed to come out after cutting, the machine has a rounded shape which sticks out, bending whatever you cut, which breaks whatever the machine could cut. It's too late to send it back but I will re-sell it or give it away. As weak as the motor is I doubt it will even cut cold cuts from a larger piece of meat. was not happy and returned this product March 24, 2015 did not work as well as advertised, was not happy and returned this product | 6% Dont buy this May 15, 2017 Please don't waste your money. Spend the extra couple $$ on a better one . Blades are already dull an food gets stuck where the 2 blades meet . I think this was a waste unless I'm using it wrong January 7, 2017 I think this was a waste unless I'm using it wrong. I will try again, but at this time it's not the best working piece of equipment for me. Avoid like the plague. Dangerous. January 18, 2016 This is the only review I've done in the 8+ years I've been an Amazon customer. The box was beat to hell when I got it and the plastic sleeves to cover a "new product" were ripped and shredded I think this has been sent back a few times. I used it for 15 minutes and threw it back in the box. Was slicing onions no big deal it should handle it right? Haha when it got to the center of the onion it just stuck halfway into a blade had to dig it out with my hand in fear of losing a hand or finger. The rest of the 5 minutes felt like a struggle to slice it would not move quickly through as it should. I don't know why this has 5 star reviews I guess people are just too used to cheap crap. I'd give it a -2 stars if I could. |
