Title: not for sweet potatoes
Product review: I bought this for aking french fries and sweet potato fries. It makes pretty good waffle fries using white potatoes but it doesn't cut a sweet potato at all. I had to get my boyfriend to try to push the sweet potato through (he's a muscular guy), and he had trouble. I abandoned the "food holder/grip" altogether. It's a joke. Needless to say I sliced my hand. Wont do that again. Like pervious users said, I am often left with unused portions of vegetables that I end up cutting with a knife (defeating the purpose of the mandoline). i love Oxo but this product doeasn't make sense. I am most disappointed with the food holder. it's good for a cucumber....that's about it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
