Title: Hunk O' Junk
Product review: Like the other customers, I have the same complaint...Mainly, the gripper does not grip the food firmly and does not glide over the blade (the gripper is too wide). It is very awkward to use, which makes you inclined to just hold the food with your hand...not safe. My friend badly sliced two of her fingertips because the gripper was so awkward, she just went at it hand held. I'm not saying it was the products fault my friend sliced her fingers...just saying it probably wouldn't have happened if the gripper worked worth a damn. Not to mention the food waste...this slicer wastes 1/3 of your vegetable due to lack of proper gripping. Slices of potatoe and cucumber worked well (although still wasted a lot), but like the other folks, I could not julienne a carrot to save my life. Pretty disappointed with this product. OXO - please take heed and design a better/safer/more effective gripping mechanism and gliding action.
