Jaccard ABS Safe Hands Mandolin Slicer with 7 Interchangeable Blade Cartridges

I bought this because, as an engineer with a background in Safety, I thought the guard is exceptionally well designed. I tried the straight slicer, two of the juilenne blades and the serrated blade. I found them all so dull that they tore rather than cut the food. The cabbage in my coleslaw, well, I ended up cutting about half of it with a knife. I tried peppers, onions and celery, all of which looked chewed rather than sliced. The celery was really rough looking, strings hanging out all over the place. When I tried to slice sweet potatoes into rounds, they cut part way and broke off the rest. I tried all of the above both with and without the guard.

My fingers are intact, but I wrenched my back from all the effort that I had to use to get the food to slice, if you can actually call it slicing.

I was not impressed with this slicer at all!! The blades seemed very dull. It mangled an onion rather than dice it and the only way I could get a tomato sliced was to wiggle it back and forth over the blade without the guard. The guard is very cumbersome to use and would not work if you wanted long slices of things like zucchini. Needless to say, I will be looking for another slicer.

I haven't had much use with the device, so I'm sure it will get easier with time. Use and ease of cleaning is very simple for a first time user of a mandolin. However, the sliding mechanism is difficult to use if you want to slice a potato or carrot other than lengthwise, making it as "unsafe" as other mandolins. Unless the potatos are small, they don't fit in the sliding mechanism at all.

Not bad for the price, but still not as safe or useful as originally thought.

I found this difficult to use right out of the box. The sliding mechanism may be safer than other mandolins, but it is clumsy and hard to keep on track. The blades are not as sharp as advertised. I think this may suffice for an periodic use, but it has no place in a serious amateur kitchen.

On the plus side, it is very easy to clean.

I agree with all the other poor reviews, for the same reasons. It just doesn't do a very good job of slicing, dicing, grating; whatever this thing was designed to do, it doesn't do it very well. Bad toad, Jaccard!
