Title: Complete waste of money!
Product review: If you are going to use a mandoline I would assume that you are at least an accomplished home cook. You respect the blade and use it with caution wheither knife or slicers. With that said, I am a fan of OXO products and decided to purchase this one after my Benriner Japanese slicer of 6 yrs became somewhat dull. BIG mistake.The blade on this thing is a joke! It's so dull that it renders it dangerous,(its never a good idea to put a lot of pressure on any blade) a sharp blade will always give you a clean cut with very little pressure. It failed the most simple of task (simple slices of tomato, potato or cabbage). My old Benriner was sharper then this slicer which was brand spankin' new. I've tried sharpening the blade but to no avail. The blade itself is too soft and flimsy for sharpening. For a third of the price I could just replace my trusty Benriner which is simple, compact and easy to clean.
