MIU France Professional Mandoline Slicer

I like to comment on some of the comments here. Yes, this is indeed a great piece of kitchen tool. You do have to "learn" how to use it to get the full potential but its like that for other tools too. The comments on the plastic holder scarring/scratching up, well its on purpose. Would you rather have a metal holder which would damage and chip the blade instead of the holder. The blade is the bread and butter of this unit and holder is designed to be softer in material than the blade so it wont damage it. It would be like using a knife on a stainless steel table dulling it vs cutting on a bamboo board. This mandoline is priced way below the competitors and works the same if not better.

this is a wonderful product I read the previous reviews before I purchased it and I am glad I did I was going to purchase a cheaper product ,this is sharp,I like the case its easy to use and safe as long as you use the part that holds the fruit or veggies it is well worth the money,I look forward to many years of slicing

This is the first thing I have ever ordered from Overstock that I was really dissapointed with. First of all, the shipping was awful. I ordered this item Nov. 18 and it was finally delivered Nov. 30. It was not packed for shipping at all -- arrived in the original box (no shipping box) and the plastic storage case was cracked and one of the latches was broken off. The unit itself seemed to be okay -- it was metal and fairly heavy. The pusher (as I had noticed in other reviews) was the main complaint. The cheap plastic prongs are so far apart you have to have a very large piece of food to even use it. Slices are not uniform in size, and a very large hunk of food is left that you can't slice at all. I feel I was being very generous to rate this two stars. I am hoping if I can figure out something else to use to push the food I might eventually be able to make use of it.

the Mui mandoline works wonders on so many foods, without the masticating effect of food processors. If you want a "clean" slice or julienne or waffle, instead of step 1 in juicing, this is the tool. I use it for nearly all the foods I ferment (that being dozens!)
