Title: Blade is way too dull
Product review: Sorry, this isn't a reasonable alternative to a commercial mandoline. I just got mine and tried it out on two foods.1. An orange (unpeeled, exactly as depicted on the box): A total and complete disaster. Couldn't even get it started on the end slice, so I cut it to the flesh first with a knife to get it going. I did not get a single clean slice. By halfway through the orange, it was a pulpy lump of mush.2. A sweet potato: I would rate this one perhaps a "fair" for slices. When I switched to the thick julienne blade, however, it would not cut completely through the entire width of the sweet potato. It jammed, leaving me with a mess.As a review above noted, it would completely impossible to cut a tomato on this thing. I have doubts about a bell pepper, too, as those have a skin.These blades don't cut it (pun intended). I'm returning it and buying a commercial model. Serious cooks should avoid this slicer.
