Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Swissmar Borner V-Slicer Plus
Customer Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
For the price you expect a good product, and this is very good. You don't need one this expensive though. I love mine, and the locking mechanism is a great feature, but it doesn't lock the other blades, so it's not entirely "safe." Needless to say, I keep it far out of reach from my children. A mandoline is so great though, and every kitchen should have one! You can make "spaghetti" out of zucchini, and slice veggies paper thin for great texture. If you can afford it, get this one. If you are more strapped for cash, get the OXO one, it'll do the job too. Customer Review: Good Mandoline for the Price
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good mandoline for cutting soft vegetables, but it has a hard time cutting potatoes. The hand guard is not made for holding potatoes well and they keep slipping out of the holding tines. I did use it to cut cucumbers to make pickles and onions for a julienne fry, but it takes more muscles to cut potatoes or cabbage. It is easy to clean by just rinsing it off after use, but it doesn't store well as there is nothing to hang it with apart from a v-shape that is near the middle of the back of the holder so it hangs out from the hook I tried to hang it on.Customer Review: Great Slicer
Summary: 5 Stars
Terrific product at a fair price. Compact design, and slices everything very fast saving quite a bit of time during prep. I can't figure out how to cube effectively but I'm pretty sure it's user error.
Customer Review: Excellent product, Good Value
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very impressed with this slicer. I bought it as a substitute for a much more expensive mandoline I own that is currently packed away. It performed very well for the task I needed it for (5 lbs of potatoes for scalloped potatoes). The storage box that it comes with is a bit odd, but it does protect the blades and is reasonably compact. We'll see if the blades stay sharp, but for the price I won't even care if they don't last forever.Customer Review: Love this thing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought this product a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE IT! I have owned a $200 mandoline for the last 15 years and I HATE that thing! I never take it out to use because it is so big and cumbersome to use and wash. This thing is the exact OPPOSITE of that! It slices and juliennes BEAUTIFULLY! It is also easy to clean and store and is a fraction of the price of the stupid stainless steel ones. Don't waste your money on the fancy one, get this and actually use it! You won't regret it.
