Mueller Austria V-Pro 5 Blade Adjustable Mandoline Slicer – White/Grey

The blades are very sharp and for professional use

This product blades are extremely sharp. I cut myself so bad that I had to get a stitch done after. Never use without guard . Otherwise a great product...

Broken slicer holder received. The thickness of the side differ

This has cut my chopping time down to a third for the time it was taking me previously. I make lots of pickles and it was taking me so long to chop everything but this is fantastic! I use this for tomatoes, sliced first then put in, then onions in half then pushed through, works a treat in no time. I also use it to chop cauliflower for pickles and it has been just awesome, so glad I brought this!

Have been looking for years for a good Mandoline. So happy I found this on Amazon

I have purchased many mandoline slicers in the past, and I know what I like. I have spent significantly more on nicer ones with replaceable blades, more exact slices, etc. But I really needed a good mandoline slicer that does a bit more than slice in one size. I have heard good things about the Mueller V-Pro 5 (as well as other products they make) from other chefs, so I decided to buy this one. I needed the following out of my slicer. - Adjustable slice thickness (this can slice paper thin to a respectable thickness to a bit over 1/3") - Julienne/Alumette/French cut as well as straight slicing Added bonus - Wavy cut (ridges) - Grates - Juliennes in two sizes (there are blades underneath the slicing deck that you can rotate and lock into place) - Case for the blades This one is simply the best in its class, nothing in this price range will come close. It is very sharp, both the 5 insert blades, as well as the deck blades for Julienning tucked into the bottom of the deck. Using the product, I love how it slices the vegetables very thin, especially onions for bagels, lox and cream cheese, or tomatoes for a thin slices in a burger, but the best of all, it can slice it almost paper thin. Great for like slicing cucumbers for sunomono. The Julienne slices can be perfect for stuffing vegetables in a spring roll, or for making various slaws. The grater is fantastic as well. One thing I will also like to note is the blades are very sharp. I would use this tool with caution if you have not used a madoline slicer in the past, and make sure to use the food holder and guard. I have used so many in the past, I am used to it, and I know when to stop, so I haven't used the food holder and guard. This is one of the best kitchen products that I have purchased recently, and I highly recommend this to everyone I know that loves to cook. Makes cooking a lot easier and faster (try julienning 5 kinds of vegetables for a dish), and cleaning this tool is very easy and fast too. Sure, I can julienne and make pretty flower shaped or rose petals out of carrots or make a fish net out of daikon radish just using a knife, but you know, when you want to cook a meal in 30 minutes, nothing beats a great tool. If you are looking to shortcut your cooking time, this tool is must buy for most use cases.

I had another brand of mandolin slicer when working in Canada that I had to leave behind. This works as well or better than that with the exception of long slicing vegetables like zuchinni. One thing I use this for is making low carb zucchini lasagna. The other slicer had a recess in the top holder to use with cyclindrical vegetables on their side that allowed the pins to grabe the vegetables. This is flat across and the grid on the pusher does not engage the food and grip it. I had to use my thumb to push on the end of the food carefully and towards the end pull the remaining portion through. I did not want to add any of my protein to the meal... Other than that, it works great and will fit over some bowls. I wish they would make a bowl designed for this. Especially the long slices do not go into the bowl well as they hit the end of the bowl while slicing. Other foods work well. Mincing or dicing foods such as onions goes easily and one trick I use on items I want to dice is to make some cross cuts in the food so that the ends are not long strips. This is the same for all of these slicers, not just Mueller. Once that is done the dicing goes smoothly. Cleaning is easy except for the thin notches in the bed where the built in knives come up. You need a small bush to reach in there, but that cleans it up quickly. Nice unit.

Use it mostly on fine slicing radish. Works well, safe to use (fingers well away from blade), easy to rinse clean.
