Customer Review: 22+ years and still ticking
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this about 23 yrs ago on (home....)and it still works like a charm. Gotta admit that the holder lost the "feet" to hold the safety handle BUT... it has one!If it's not now made in China, go for it!Customer Review: A Great tool for your kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent product !
I bought this for my wife as a gift. I had my own hidden agenda for why I wanted to give it to her.
I didn't think she would like it or use it very much but much to my surprise shes always using it.
It's a great kitchen tool and as EVERYBODY says " it's VERY SHARP " follow easy directions and you won't cut yourself.
Just using a little common sense this is a safe slicer and if she ever wears it out, I will buy the same one again.
Customer Review: A Great Slicer

I bought this after reading all the reviews here and they were right. This product slices with ease. I've used it to slice (really thin)Zucchinis,Mushrooms,Potatoes,Onions and it is great for all of those. I haven't tried it for any other items yet.Customer Review: A Great Value and Safest to Use
Summary: 5 Stars
I have extensively used both a Bron Mandoline and a Borner V-slicer at work. I bought a V-slicer to use at home. I love the design of the Borner guard. It has long metal spears with a plunger to advance the food as you slice that give a very secure grip and almost no waste. Most of the cheaper slicers have short plastic points that really can not get a good grip on the food. The carriage style guard on the Bron is clumsy and not as flexible as the Borner. If the guard on a slicer is difficult to use people will tend to try to use it without. Unfortuately if you do that sooner or later you too will have a grisly story to tell.
I also like the design of the holder that comes with to safely store the slicer and the two julienne blades. A slight drawback to the Borner is not being able to adjust the thickness of the slices beyond the two choices they give you. Also the V-slicer does not do crinkle or waffle cuts but Borner does make a separate crinkle/waffle cutter and also a smaller julienne slicer that work with the guard that comes with the V-slicer.
Customer Review: A Handy Tool....

Do you need a $200 mandoline? If the occasional slice, shred or dice is more your speed, this is a well-made, inexpensive alternative. Does a fine job on onions or cabbage or for making home fries. Cleans up fairly easily, but as everyone will attest, it's sharp (duh..). As a bonus, you'll get fewer onion tears---crying comes from crushing, not slicing.
