Title: Ultimate Fail!
Review: The ultimate mandoline is an ultimate failure in design. The "safety" feature makes this unit utterly useless. The problem is due to the fact that the mandoline slider has to be attached to the base at all times while using the blades. As the slider passes over the blade, it pushes down 2 spring loaded levers on each side of the blade. This raises the blade for cutting, but lowers it flush to the base when exposed. Due to this design, all items for slicing must fit inside the hole at the top of the slider which is far too small for most items. In other words, unless you are slicing cherry tomatoes, pearl onions, or other very small foods, you must first cut the it into smaller chunks. I do not recommend this item at all.
