Title: Bad news!
Product review: The fact that the "safety guard" had to be purchased separately should have raised a red flag. I hated this thing, safety guard and all. I started out with a carrot and finished with exactly 10 julienne strips, a bunch of shreds and a large hunk of carrot jammed in the blades. Pretty much the same results with a potato. I tried the ripple cutter with the potato and shredded a fingernail. The printed instructions had no diagrams and descriptions of how to adjust the cutting blades were confusing. I'm returning the mandoline and buying another good knife.
