Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Swissmar Borner V-1001 V-Slicer Plus Mandoline 6 Piece Set
Customer Review: Amazing timesaver!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really only bought this product for two kitchen tasks. First is French onion soup. Finely slicing 5 onoins can be a bit taxing. This goes through them in no time and each is the perfect thickness. The second task is for making thin potato chips for our dog (she's allergic to most pet food products). We were having to hand slice them every week and could never get an even thickness that worked well with our microwaved chip recipe. This slicer does the job in about 30-45 seconds. We had owned a slicer before (Oxo) but it simply would not make clean cuts. The "V" slcing mechanism is much more efficient than the single angled blade. Much less effort with each swipe. This product is easily a third the price of the competition and the best performing of the lot.Customer Review: Amazing1

I purchased my v-slice in 1988! YES! 21 Years ago, loved it so much I purchased 3 more for gifts! It is just as sharp today as it was the day I received it. It is an amazing product.Customer Review: An Info-mercial Product Truly Worth Buying!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this slicer for over 6 years now and love it so much that I bought a second one recently so that I could have one at home and my hubby could take his other to the restaurant where he works. It is FANTASTIC for slicing onions, tomatoes, potatoes and sooooo much more! I wrote a full review of this slicer on Epinions and would absolutely love it if you would check out the additional information there.
Have a FANTASTIC day!

Customer Review: Au gratin to your heart's content
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great tool for slicing vegetables - I am a big fan of gratin and this madeline has been great for slicing potatoes ad nauseum. Be careful the blade is extremely sharp - do not use this without the holder! This is a simple design and is very affordable for a top end madeline.Customer Review: Average Product
Summary: 3 Stars
When I first bought this slicer six months ago, it worked great. It cut nicely and very smoothly. No need to exert too much force to slice. After few times of use, it started to get harder to slice. Soft items like cucumbers are easy to slice but harder items like carrots were difficult. It will slice and gets stuck and it's hard to push or pull to get the carrot out of the slicer. Since the knife edges are sharp, it's kind of scary to exert too much force just in case it slips and get your hand sliced. This is average product. Good for soft items and be careful for harder items.
