Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Swissmar Borner V-Slicer Plus
Customer Review: My scariest kitchen gadget
Summary: 3 Stars
I took time to think about this review and how many stars to give it. For five stars I think a product should cover all the bases, nothing superfluous, but at the same time nothing that seems standard on other models that is not on the one you have. It should also function perfectly. For starters I am in my kitchen constantly and love cooking and cutting. I figure that everything I buy will pretty much be used so often that I can essentially justify spending however much to get what I want, many have enough $ in stainless steel pots and pans and understand what i mean. This time I really wish I would have spent more. For starters other reviewers have stated this is sharp. Oh yes it is, I stopped paying attention (giving proper respect) for just a moment and got my thumb nail manicured without even feeling it. I was lucky. Problem is that when you have to clean this thing good luck!!! It is like tickling the blade with the edge of a sponge, you really can't clean this thing all to easily or safely. Huge problem because other models come with blades that are completely removable and allow for this. Part two of this problem is that it is white and stains so you do need to scrub it real well at times and i didn't run a beet over it until i knew i was upgrading. Surprisingly the beet didn't stain and so far I have found my nemesis to be carrots. When I was looking at upgrades I stumbled on models that had these great safety pusher handles that allowed you to do vegetables lengthwise and even better had spring loaded pushers that didn't force you to get the "feel" for how to push down on the vegetable yourself. Thats what I mean by 5 stars should have all the bells and whistles or come with a caveat "at this price" Also it only allows for basic cuts at 1/8th and 1/4 inch.
Customer Review: Useful Kitchen Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't had a chance to use the mandoline much yet, but am very pleased with its performance so far. It did an execellent job of thin-slicing lemons for lemon pie with minimal effort. The item is well constructed and thoughtfully designed.Customer Review: Makes slicing borderline fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first, this looked like it could be a pain in the behind to assemble and use. It really wasn't...and for the wee bit of time it took to get it all squared away (mind you, this was the first time, I'm POSITIVE now that I know how it all works, the next time will be a snap) it made up for with how quickly it perfectly sliced two tomatoes. Love this thing!Customer Review: Good slicer, greatly reduces prep time.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the more often used tools in my kitchen. Whether getting a few onions ready for the saucepan, or making potatoes into french fries, it gets the job done faster than I could hope to without it.
Not a NEEDED component to your kitchen, but a useful one. This particular slicer does a better job than some of its more expensive counterparts. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: What a great Product!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The V-Slicer Plus does it all. It is compact and will fit in any space available. It will slice any vegetable with ease, sometimes it so easy I am not aware that it is cutting. It is extremely sharp and you must use the utmost care when slicing and cleaning. Slicing ripe tomatoes for sandwich's
is quick and easy, onions chopped for salsa or hot dogs is a breeze. I cannot say enough good things about this product, it is worth every penny.
