Title: Not one of OXO's winners
Product review: I am a huge fan of OXO products, so when I saw that they'd come up with an inexpensive mandoline, something that I'd coveted but could not bring myself to spend $200+ on, I was thrilled. But when I assembled and tested it, not so much.While I liked the design, its performance was completely unacceptable. No matter what thickness I adjusted it to or what vegetable I tried to slice, the results were thoroughly disappointing.Judging from the fact that other reviewers found the same problem, and yet again others seemed quite happy with the performance (which is why I decided to try it out myself) I'm wondering if maybe some but not all of the blades were manufactured poorly. A mandoline blade should be frighteningly sharp. When I pulled the blade from the unit and tested its edge, it was much duller than any of my kitchen knives.Anyway, I am returning this item and going mandolineless again.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
